Trump Tax Return Challenge
Townhall.com ^ | August 16, 2016 | Wayne Allyn Root

Posted on 08/16/2016 6:18:46 AM PDT by Kaslin

It’s time for Donald Trump to turn the tables on Hillary.

It’s so obvious that Hillary and her cabal of socialists and media scam artists are going to try to make Donald Trump’s tax returns the biggest issue of the Fall. Their game plan is so easy to read- Hillary’s bribed media partners will turn up the heat on Trump like clockwork- in a coordinated media blitz right after Labor Day.

I have the perfect response for Donald. He should say, “I’ll release my tax returns on the spot…as soon as Hillary locates her 32,000 deleted emails…releases all Clinton Foundation records…the transcripts of her speeches to Goldman Sachs…and her authenticated medical records.”

Because four things are clear to the American people…

1. Hillary didn’t delete emails by mistake. That was a Watergate-like criminal cleansing. She didn’t delete emails with “personal messages.” She deleted emails that exposed criminal activities that could send her to “the Big House” instead of the White House.

2.The Clinton Foundation is one big global Ponzi scheme. Hillary acted like a Gambino mob boss- extorting money from foreign governments and corporations in exchange for access, favors and government contracts, paid for by the taxpayers. This is called treason.

The American people were ripped off and defrauded. We need to see all the records.

And if she is elected president, if the Clinton Foundation documents aren’t made public now, Hillary will be open to blackmail by all of these foreign governments and corporations.

3.Hillary is bought and paid for by the biggest corporations on Wall Street. She is literally owned by hedge funds and Wall Street giants like Goldman Sachs. Why do you think hedge funds have given her $47 million versus $19,000 to me? She is owned like a dog on a leash.

The proof is in the speeches she was paid $19 million for over the past two years. The American people must be allowed to hear Hillary’s promises made in front of Goldman Sachs and hedge fund billionaires- because she was promising to rig the system with your taxpayer money!

4. We need to see Hillary’s real medical records. It’s so obvious Hillary has serious health problems. Her poor health probably relates to the stress of hiding her many crimes. I'm sure Hillary can't sleep with all the secrets and skeletons in her closet. That kind of stress would be enough to make anyone sick with brain disorders or chronic disease. But if she is truly sick, she cannot be allowed to serve as president.

Donald should announce this challenge the day after Labor Day. Hillary will never release any of those records. Ever. She can’t. The jig is up if she ever releases those records. Forget the White House...she'll be headed to "the Big House."

That’s why Donald is in a perfect win-win situation with this challenge. He turns the tables on Hillary. If she wants to see his tax returns, she has to respond.

If she never responds, she look like she has something to hide (which of course, she does). And assuming she never agrees to show her records (which she won't), Donald is off the hook. He never has to show his tax return. 

Bye bye Hillary. Hello President Donald J. Trump.

Trump doesn’t need to release his tax return for me to see. I’m sure if he’s effed up on it the liberal IRS will be on his a$$ like flies on sh!t.

This stuff is all mindless blather. When someone can explain how Hillary got a pass from the FBI on the emails and apparently is getting a pass on her Clinton Foundation criminality, I might give a crap about Donald’s tax returns.

Until then, they can just all STFU.

Hell—Trump should just call for the release of BJ’s medical records.

Well, I was pretty sure that it was written into the constitution way back when that any (p)residential can’t-i-date had to at least present a 1040A from the past 3 years in order to qualify to run. No? Oh, never mind.

Taking into consideration the IRS scandals during the Obama Administration, is there anyone who truly believes Hillary hasn’t already seen Trump’s tax returns?

Corruption abounds with these people. Anyone with any common sense knows Trump’s tax returns have been leaked by the IRS and everyone in the Hillary campaign has already seen them.

This is such a farce!

I thought Trumps answer was already PERFECT

“HilLIARy released the only information nobody wanted to see from her”

We've seen much more of Trump's taxes than we've seen of Hillary's brain scans.

He's released enough. Hillary should at least release the pictures of her brain.

I wish he would do all those things but even though I don’t personally care what’s on his tax returns, I wish he would release them and prove the Dems are all liars and shut them up. What do they think he’s hiding? He’s obviously paying his taxes because he’s still in business and not in jail. He admitted once that like most Americans he doesn’t pay any more than he has to. Trump makes a lot of his charitable donations in private and some, maybe most, are not declared. That’s what they want to see I think so that they can slam him for being a greedy 1%’er.

There is no requirement that he release his tax returns. That’s voluntary.

As for the ever continuing charge that he didn’t donate as much to charity as he claims, he’s also not required to donate a penny to anyone.

I’m sick of hearing about the tax return thing, and I agree completely with this response. Exactly what I’ve said from day one, plus some. I just said he should say he’d release his taxes when she releases her speeches. This is much better...

I’m interested in seeing the income sources of politicians. They should not be rich, as Hillary is, on the government dime. I don’t care how they came upon the money, I’m interested in seeing it.

Trump has not been a politician. I don’t care about his tax return at all. He’s been a businessman, and as such, he’s expected to do what’s best for his corporation.

I don’t want a politician rich on graft and corruption.

Trump did not get rich on my dime, so I don’t care.

If I were him, I would have plowed everything into my corporation, anyway, and not even taken an income. As a real estate corporate owner, he could have had ALL his expenses under the corporation, even food, clothing, and shelter. That would have been the smart thing to do.

His donations should also have been through the corporation or his foundation, and they should have been real donations to real needs.

So, if I were the CEO/Owner, I’d do my best to show zero income. Why would I need to take an income? I own the business?

But...but...

If Trump does not “officially” release his tax returns to the public —

then ALL the oh-so-clever MISinformation ALREADY written about them by Hillary’s trolls, using copies supplied by the corrupt IRS, can’t be “dumped”!

Oh! How FRUSTRATING!

Maybe Hillary needs to put “Hell-bound Harry” on the case!

If Trump doesn’t want to release his tax returns then he should stick to his guns and not release them. There is nothing that requires him, or any other candidate, to do so. But having said that Trump won’t release his returns then why on earth do they have Pence out there saying he’s going to release his? That just makes Trump look worse. Neither one should release returns.

His tax returns are not a bargaining chip. Nor should they be put out as quid pro quo for evidence of wrongdoing by Hillary

Actually, this is called influence-peddling. Treason is something different altogether.

The dems already have the attack plan drawn up if Trump releases his return, which I am willing to bet he won't. Doesn't matter what is in there. Dems and media will twist it and lie with headlines.

Look at that stack of paper. A business like Trump Inc is very complex. The complexity alone will be painted as proof that Trump is shady and greedy. Liberals hate businesses that produce real goods and services. Trump has zero to gain from releasing his return.

My recollection is that they used to demand tax returns of candidates because (virtually) all candidates were professional politicians and we didn’t like to see profiteering from public servants. That ship has sailed. Hillary-dillary is the archetype professional political and profiteer.

We know that Trump is under scrutiny by the dhimmicrat-controlled IRS so there is zero point in him showing his return.

That said, I like WAR’s idea!

For me neither. Besides there is now law to do so.

Why should he? There is no law that requires him, or any other political candidate to reveal their tax return.

Maybe he doesn't declare some of his donations because he wants them to be donations. In my opinions those who declare their donations just for the purpose of lowering their taxes are hypocrites
