Congress Blocks Trump Tax Release

He said he would release them after the audit, after the election, after the second coming. He, so far, has lied to you. Why?

Please provide proof that the audit is over.

It's so trivial, I don't care.

Do you realize how many items he will have that his haters will be able to spin, no matter how legitimate they are?

It was a necessary lie during the election, even if it was a lie at the time.

Why are people so obsessed about such trivial things? I suppose you want someone to go through his trash cans as well...

And they did do that yet the birthers demanded MORE. Again, the righty hypocrites have no problem DEMANDING transparency from Dems, but don't care about Republicans. Hypocrites the lot of righties. Especially since they elected king birther, they have no right to talk about fake news. They elected the king of fake news the hypocrites.

Actually it was clinton supporters that demanded more.
In fact it was a clinton support that sued over the birth certificate to begin with.

I understand you don't care. I don't blame you. You've hitched your wagon to him and you are going to ride it out.
Me, I held Hillary to account for her lies and I will hold trump to account for his. But, he just keeps telling them and making stupid, Un-American statements. But, he is 70. Maybe he really doesn't know any better.

Our country has had over 200 years to pass legislation to make releasing one's tax returns a qualification of presidential candidacy. During those 200+ years, many of them saw Democratic majorities. Yet it hasn't been important enough to address. Now that they are a minority they want to address it? Such games.

Drain the swamp!

Look, I suspect the only thing going on in there is lots of moves recommended by tax lawyers, BUT I would still like a reason for breaking informal precedent other than "[**** you guys]."



More importantly, what does refusing to release tax returns have to do with draining the "swamp"?

Just empty sloganeering. I lose more respect for Trump supporters every day.

You sit there and denounce the "Birther" movement as you head a movement of your own: the "Taxer" movement. Its impossible to take you guys seriously on anything anymore.

Games, Mr. Person, Games. Our legislature(s) have gotten so darned partisan that our politicians behave like CHILDREN. The American people on both sides of the aisle ought to be able to see this, but all of us are too easily led by the media and our politicians' talking points. And this criticism is meant for both Democrats AND Republicans.

Just on this one issue we see more distraction than substance. The FEC demands complete financial disclosure. Trump filled out 90+ PAGES of disclosure in total compliance. Not enough? Then the FEC should add questions. But distracting every single American from the issues by focusing on disclosing tax returns is a red herring, imo.

The Democrats have spent the last few election cycles telling us that rich is bad. (Romney, too.) And then they ran HIllary Clinton. LMAO! Rich isn't bad, and the American people have got to start realizing that and understanding that because someone is rich, because they take advantage of the very laws our congress has put on the books, does not mean they're greedy pigs. In all honesty YOU do it. I do it. And taking full advantage of tax laws as they exist is not evil. Yet Dems would have us believe that it is, even as they take advantage of those same laws themselves.

We've GOT to stop that ****!

I completely agree.

I will bet that president Trump has among the best CPA's money can buy, and that his tax return is 100% legitimate. That will not keep politicians and media types from spinning any small detail they can, into looking like corruption.

Back to this...

Hillary was a senator. During that time, she did absolutely nothing to take away all the loopholes that president Trump, and all her rich friends enjoy. No attempts at all to change the tax code, while at the same time criticizing the rich for not paying their fair share.

That doesn't change facts. The original birther were clinton supporters

He was cleared by the FEC. his tax returns are no more than that.
The racers need to get over it.

He doesn't have to release them and they are not required to run for president.

The because they did it is not an argument. It was a choice they made.
 
Praxas said:
Even the IRS said the audit doesn't prohibit him from releasing them.

But the OP said that Trump lied when he said he would release them after the audit was over. I'm just asking for proof that the audit is over. Where is it?

Poor losers just keep crying.
 
Lol. Comparing people demanding to see proof someone fits the requirements of the office to people demanding to see someones tax returns is pretty hilariously stupid.

They were so mislead by their party and all the polling that they are still in the denial phase of grief.
They still have yet to figure out how they lost.


They will lose in another four years if trump does half of what he says.

Well, maybe all the crying from d'nile will make the Sahara green again?

Trying to couch this as some sort of moral stand? lol

Trump said he would release them. Every other candidate/president has released them. No reason to defend his failure to keep his word.
