Will Trump Disclose his Taxes?

Post Reply New Topic

I find it odd that Trump has yet to publicly release his tax information. I'm thinking that if he hasn't done it by now, he doesn't intend to. But why? Everybody already knows how rich he is.

Exactly, so what do they expect to find? Evidence of criminality? If there is, that would make the IRS complicit in the deception and given their attitude towards known conservatives, I find that highly unlikely. It's all aimed at distraction away from Hillary's disastrous record.

If Donald Trump releases his tax returns:

1) We may find out the secret (illegal?) methods that the "One-Percenters" use to avoid paying taxes.

2) He may not be as rich as he wants us to believe. Remember, he did declare bankruptcy four times, and he has recently started accepting campaign donations.

3) We may learn that much of his income comes from something other than 100% legal investments.

4) We may learn that the residency he states on his tax returns is not the same as the residences he stated when he announced his candidacy.

5) We may see that his so-called "charitable" donations are either over-stated, or they have been made to bogus charities.

Mr. Trump is hiding more than just his tax returns; you can bet on it!

Who isn't? Not everyone can be the paragon of virtue you must be.

I'm going with 'not as rich as he presents himself as', with a side of 'donations to charities his new GOP friends might not approve of'; I don't think he's worried about any tax dodges or illegality, it's not like the IRS doesn't have this stuff already, and he's positioned himself as a guy who knows how to play the game and now wants to play it for the voters, so I don't see tax avoidance hurting him.

Once we get all the dirt out in the open on Hillary (which will never happen or she would be wearing orange by now), then that's the time I would expect to see Trump's tax returns. I don't expect one side to be playing fair while the other side gets off scott free.

I find it so amusing how the Left is jumping down Trump's throat for some measly tax returns when a**hole in the White House showed no school documents or his birth records until he had been in as president for how many years? Has he even shown his school transcripts? Trump owes you nothing.

Has Mrs. Clinton released her tax returns? Has Mr. Sanders? Has Mr. Trump?

I still think Vladimir Putin is a more interesting man than Donald Trump... like Putin is the most manly man on the planet ! Also, just to be a bit of this "Arch-Rival" for Fnord of Stendec, I like quoting interesting things...

Who is the subject of two FBI investigations — one for public corruption and the other for espionage?
Who is having their non-profit organization scrutinized for arranging kickbacks to benefit their wealthy friends?
Who are we waiting for to publicly state, “I am not a crook”


A.) Mr. Trump?

B.) Mr. Sanders?

C.) Hillary?

Putin's financial affair are far, far more dodgy.

He has creamed billions from the Russian Economy. He the most wealthy leader in the world and that includes the gulf states.

Just tallying his assets and his shares put him at at least 70 billion which is a low estimate.

I have thought about 1,2, and 5. However, 3 and 4 are possibilities as well. There must be some reason he doesn't want to release them.

Trump can release his taxes return when they release the the transcript of Hillary's Goldman Sach's speeches or the drafted Whitewater indictment against her.

The fact that the President taught as an Ivy League law instructor speaks volumes, hence there's little need for him to have to produce law school transcripts, while the whole birth certificate thing was the machinations of racists who were sore losers over two Republican Presidential defeats. There is actually no law making Trump release his tax information - though even Richard Nixon had, while being audited no less - but it would go a long way to inspire trust among voters if he did. Otherwise, the American people are going to believe he is hiding something. And maybe he is.

You know who is hiding something? Hillary Clinton in the 30k emails she deleted off her illegal private server that she said were private, Hillary has no idea what wiping a server means even tho she went thru the painstaking steps of printing all these emails and setting up the server itself which was a blatant attempt at skirting open government laws. Hillary made $25 million in speeches in the couple years after she left as Secretary of State(the worst of all time I should add) and officially started running for president again, some hell of a speech right? Definitely no quid pro quo going on with the Clinton Foundation is there? Trump has built hotels, golf courses, casinos, meaning he has created real jobs whereas the Clinton's have become wildly rich how? What have they produced in their entire lives?

I thought all of that email stuff, along with all the rest of the Benghazi hokum, had been unmasked as a Republican witch hunt after they had grilled her for countless hours after fruitless hours.
And I don't pretend to know about how the Clintons make money off of their investments, other than to say that till they are actually brought up on charges of financial impropriety, I see no reason to rag on them over accusations lacking facts.
