The Democratic-led Illinois Senate voted Thursday to compel President Trump to release five years worth of his personal income tax returns or be barred from appearing on the states presidential ballot next year.
The state is joining a movement of other Democratic states that aims to force the president to open up his personal finances by releasing his tax returns, something he stubbornly has refused to do and reiterated again this week.
During contentious floor debate in the Illinois statehouse, Trumps name wasnt mentioned once by the legislations sponsor, state Sen. Tony Munoz, a Chicago Democrat who insisted he merely is trying to shed more transparency on the presidential campaign.
If you want to run for vice president or president of the United States, hey, whats wrong with providing your tax returns for the past five years? Munoz asked his colleagues ahead of the Senates 36-19 vote in favor of his bill.
If youve got nothing to hide, you shouldnt worry about anything, he continued. Thats how I see it.
Since before Trump was elected in 2016, Democrats have been trying to pressure him to release his tax returns in hopes of illuminating possible business relationships or sources of income from foreign powers, including Russia.
The guy leading this charge is Latino. If you note the ‘lead’ people their party is pushing out in front are all ‘faces’ of minorities or minority groups because these are the voters they lost in this last election....and they cannot win without them. Additionally most of them are low in their actual power and easily disposed of or ignored once they’re finished using them.
Drop a nuke on Chicago and send all the illegals there. Not necessarily in that order.
I unfortunately live in Illinois. I urge the president to drop several nuclear weapons on Illinois and end the suffering for everyone here, left and right. I will give my life for my country. It will be worth it.
I wouldn’t bet on that.
Depends on who the judge is.
Blow it out yer ash dhimmicraps.
unconstitutional
the qualifications for president are spelled out in the constitution.
Smells like voter suppression to me.
Can say the same thing about Obama. Why doesn't he release his birth certificate, and records from college?
I’m flying into Chi-Town tomorrow, can we wait until next weekend ?
Excellent idea! Pass it along...
Ha ha. The yoke is on you Illinois. He can be a write in and you can’t do anything about it.
We have a winner of the sanctuary city who wants tens of thousands of illegals dumped off in their streets sweepstakes...
President Trump should order the IRS to audit every one of those a—holes.
Quoth Obama:
“The only people who don’t want to disclose the truth are people with something to hide.”

Bronco Bama.
What is it about the Fourth Amendment that these socialist parasites don’t understand?
Molon labe.
If they don’t apply that to all candidates then their election results are invalid.
Equality before the law.
Theyll just pass a law that says all write ins for Donald Trump are illegal!
