I wonder how long before portions of his returns are in the newspaper?

Quite the assumption that he’s hiding anything.

Yep, he did, and lest not forget they’ve been chasing him since he won because he hurt their feelings. He owes them nothing, and it’s hilarious watching them work for everything and come up empty…and you’re hoping and wishing there’s a reason, for 6+ years and counting.
No proof? We HEARD him pressuring election officials to change the result of an election he had lost. We saw the receipts from Mar-A-Lago showing a picture proving that Trump had documents classified at some of the highest levels. Something he has not denied. Now they have the tax returns. This should help prosecutors looking into the Trump Organization. The CFO plead guilty to fraud, a felony. Why would he do that? Because the Trump Organization was committing fraud is the answer.

These are very serious crimes. It's entertaining to watch the members of the so called "Party of Law and Order" seem to not really care about law and order when it's Trump. We have the proof, this time Donald Trump will not get bailed out by GOP members on the Hill. This time he has to answer to the law.

Right, no proof to get him, hence they still haven’t gotten him. What are the tax returns going to show to get him, and please be specific?

Should, could, maybe, if, might, feelings, etc…, don’t mean anything, along with proof that the because Trump organization committed fraud.

Lol at we have the proof. Been hearing this for 6+ years and counting. When are they going to get him and what are the consequences going to be?

Any Billionaires tax return will not be understood by the masses, or the media.

The media will use this ignorance to roast Trump.

It’s hilarious how their obsession has them assuming there’s proof, now with his tax returns to get him. It’s truly amazing how we’ve heard claims of guilt with nothing to get him over and over and over again. This is really really really it. We got him this time

You presume the returns will be made public. Did anyone say that?

Again I just showed you the proof, it's you who choses to ignore it. An indictment of a former President does not happen in a few days. A bit early to be spiking the football, give it some time and we'll talk.

As for the tax returns how on Earth would I know what's in them? What a silly comment. The only question that should be asked is why on Earth has he tried so hard to conceal them?

It is indeed the concern of the US Congress, by law.

See post #93 above.

You missed it.

Many people credit too much power to the US president, and assess too much responsibility when things go wrong. The presidency is designed to be somewhat weak and compromising compared to what we all imagine.

So yeah, our presidents can appear weak compared to a strong dictator like Putin or Xi, but our system was set up for that deliberately to prevent an authoritarian takeover.

If you read and pay attention to how the constitution lays out the respective duties, you will see that the US Congress has the ultimate duty to raise funds and determine how they are spent. You will see that the president acts as a functionary, not to be an absolute monarch, but a business administrator. The business administrator (chief executive) carries out policy set by the board (the full US Congress). On behalf of the people of the United States and at the behest of Congress he has to run departments and bureaus that he might not even like, he can't shut them down.

In fact, one analogy could be the president is the wait staff in a restaurant, the US congress is the clientele. Not a very glorious image but we have to get out of our heads that the president has more rights and authority than the congress, if he knows and understands the constitution he will work with the full bicameral congress. He can suggest laws but he can't make them. The president's best tool in this is his (or her) ability to persuade. Force and belligerence make too many enemies in congress and are not usually effective.

In fact, the US Congress can establish agencies of government which do not report to the executive branch, and has done so in the past. It can actually take a branch of government, like the IRS, out from the control of the president (of course these actions would require enough votes to override a veto if the president at the time was against it).

Many people do not understand this about the US government.

Make no mistake, if the Demo party can fetch the FBI, DOJ and intel agencies at Trump in order to create a narrative for the public, brainwash, and or create crimes that do not exist in which the Demo party is clearly guilty of including that FBI raid that will lead to nothing,,,they certainly would have used the IRS against Trump years ago. Nothing to see here but another false narrative, period.

What's in it, is what was said during the trial in NY. Trump made billions of dollars of losses (at least, that was claimed on the tax returns). Nothing illegal, but it seems Trump doesn't want to damage his 'brand' by having this made public. It's as simple as that.
