TRUMP! I Love all his responses! Trump's campaign has been so cathartic for me - all the stuff I wished a Republican would say to the media Trump says it and says it in a manner that is deeply satisfying.

The tax returns thing is only a tradition started by Gerald Ford as a gimmick to show he was uber honest. Releasing tax returns has no basis in law - it is not required and none of our business. The law only requires financial info to be filed because that will go into a trust account for the president.

I don’t want my taxes on public view. Why should his be?

From the beginning 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.

Question should be, Why is the IRS dragging their feet?

[wjr123]

Exactly! I hope he rips the Washington Post/ New York Times PC cabal apart and spread the remains in a stinky pile in Harvard Yard.

I only wish he would drop the “after the audit is complete”. Just tell them to go pound sand and move on.

I imagine that he does want folks to see his “income” which is probably small (relatively.). Income is not wealth. But there are a lot of folk that believe he makes ten billion. A year.

Trump should never provide his tax returns. Why should Trump help them destroy him? Trumps enemies want his tax returns for a fishing expedition and to spin any little fuax pas as grand larceny. In extensive tax returns like Trumps of course there will be little things that can be spun in the mass media to hurt Trump..

The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos who runs Amazon. The Post has somehow come up with the money to pay twenty reporters to go after Trump/////Mostly in his real estate dealings so I understand.... Going through them with a fine tooth comb

I can’t imagine what his tax return documents would look like considering all the businesses he is involved in...........But that’s why he has tax attorneys working for him........

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.”

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