Donald Trump on His Tax Rate: ‘It’s None of Your Business’
nytimes.com ^ | 5/13/2016 | Maggie Haberman

Posted on 05/13/2016 7:55:09 AM PDT by Trumpinator

Donald J. Trump said Friday that he doesn’t believe voters have a right to see his tax returns, and insisted it’s “none of your business” when pressed on what tax rate he himself pays — a question that tripped up Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential race.

Mr. Trump made the comments in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” as he continued to try to answer questions about his change in explanations over the last year about why he won’t release the taxes.

When the interviewer, George Stephanopoulos asked Mr. Trump directly if he thought voters had a right to see his returns, something that presidential nominees have provided for roughly 40 years, the candidate replied, “I don’t think they do.”

Mr. Trump added: “But I do say this, I will really gladly give them — not going to learn anything but it’s under routine audit. When the audit ends I’ll present them. That should be before the election. I hope it’s before the election.”

Please be my guest and sniff away. I’ll be the first to point out I’m not always orthodox. But you will also find a number of go Trump posts in support of Trump. But again, if sniffing into my posting history floats your boat, enjoy and go for it.

Please be my guest and sniff away.

Luckily, your permission is not necessary.

I’ll be the first to point out I’m not always orthodox.

You misspelled 'conservative'. Hope that helps.

But you will also find a number of go Trump posts in support of Trump.

A skilled Concern Troll always voices support, but is concerned about the candidate because of 'x'.

But again, if sniffing into my posting history floats your boat, enjoy and go for it.

It is my hobby. It is my life.

Notice how concern trolls are always so concerned. Concerned about every little thing. So concerned all the time. I think I’m getting concerned. :-)

Fair answer. Anybody doesn't like it is being a jackass.

Maybe there should have been a little more concern from you about Newt ‘ s weaknesses. Or maybe Romney ‘ s in the general.

This will be settled in November. We will see what hurts or helps the candidates.

Las felt bad because you were alone on this thread. Kind of like the Maytag repairman.
