Trump's Tax Returns

[LongGone]

Question for those who voted for Trump. Does it bother you that although he promised in the debates that he would release his tax returns (when the audit is complete) that he has reneged on that promise now that he is elected? What do you think he is trying to hide?

A politician lying during a campaign?  What?  Can't be true.  Fake news?

I'm glad he won't release them.  Who cares.  I sure don't.  The IRS is the only ones who need to see them.  Now maybe we can stop that "tradition" once and forever.

But how would we know to be appalled about the Clinton's claiming their underwear donations as tax deductions?!!?  ;D

I didn't see that promise you reference. I thought he pushed back on releasing his returns, citing his ongoing audits. (I also didn't see where pro life groups were allowed in the female rent a mob riots.)

Regardless, many things about Trump trouble me...his tax returns aren't on that list.

He promised in the first debate that he would release them once the audit was complete. This is his quote in the first debate "I'm under a routine audit. and it'll be released. As soon as the audit is finished. It will be released."

So it doesn't bother than a campaign promise that is so easy to keep he now chooses not to keep? I know not every campaign promise is going to be kept...the wall may never go up, Mexico may never pay for it, Obamacare may never be repealed and replaced with something better, jobs may never come to the rural areas because these are things that the President won't have total control.  This is a promise that he can control. It means nothing that he can't keep his word?

In addition what is it that he want to hide. Would his tax returns explain his infatuation with Putin and giving Russia the moral equivalency to the US? In the future would it help us to understand there was not a conflict with his business and his decision or that there was a possible conflict. Do you not agree that transparency is a good thing?

On the women's march I stated clearly that I was wrong. You can find it in the thread. When I read the had changed their mind about New Wave Feminists I originally took it to mean that they denied and then approved.  When I went back and read it I realized my mistake. What brought that up now?

Sorry!
I did not remember that, I knew he dug his heels in on that issue during the primary. The reason I brought up the women's March is to illustrate that just because you read it online it's not automatically true. Liberals are not tolerant of differing opinions as a matter of course. Often misinformation is shared with the assumption that it is true. Hence, the fake news phenomenon.

I reiterate that of the many things that personally trouble me about Trump, his taxes are not one of them. Which is why I had no idea of his promise to release them...not on my radar. Doesn't surprise me though.

Again, I tell you that Obama and the democrats overreach and failed policies make it possible for Trump to be Trump and actually succeed. Whether you believe it or not is moot....like gravity, it is the current reality. And the socialist liberal democrat hysterical reaction, the vandalism in the streets only serves to cement his support. I do NOT like the way he goes about governing, his incessant bickering with his critics etc. But he is large and in charge...

I can hear the tune of Your Cheating Heart playing in the background as you posted that heartfelt sentiment...

I have listed my misgivings and lack of enthusiasm for all things Trump many, many times...from the primary days. I'm sorry if you missed them or simply didn't believe them. Many of said posts were responses to you, in fact.

I called his administration's processes a circus.
I have stated that he is NOT a conservative nor a Republican (which may or may not be a good thing).

What I have said is that, he is The President.
What I have said is that he is doing what his supporters want him to do.
What I have said is that the democrats make him look good in the eyes of the majority of voters. His favorable numbers are now 50% or better up since he took office.

The hysterical overreaction by sld's is often entertaining.
The cheesy melodrama as well.

But , it is what it is....

I'm not the one condoning harsher vetting and building the wall under the need for more security. (Wait, trusting the government for more security? I thought you were for LESS gub'mint. Guess I was wrong!)

I'm not the one living in fear here.

Yes, you are vewy vewy afwaid.
I personally believe the government's most legitimate role is in protecting its citizens. You know that our country has always maintained borders, don't you Smellin? Do you know that if you drive into Canada, they stop you at the border? It's really not a new concept.

More cheesy Smellodrama.....

Though I am now a Trump supporter I do think he should keep his word.

If he had no intention of releasing his return he should have just said so. He is under no obligation to do so but he said he would many times. Integrity matters on both sides of the isle and I for one will call them on it regardless of party.

Examples:
May 8, 2016: On NBC?s Meet the Press, Trump pledges to release his tax returns as soon as the audit is over.

May 11, 2016: Trump tells the AP that he will only release his tax returns once the audit is complete and that he will not push his lawyers on the issue.

May 11, 2016: In a tense interview with Fox News, Trump repeats his defense, emphasizing that it makes no legal sense for him to release his tax returns while under an audit.

May 13, 2016: Trump tells ABC News that voters do not have a right to see his tax returns before the election, again saying that he will present the returns once the audit is over.

Trump is a fornicating adulterer who won't pay his own sub-contractors.

So giving his tax returns means he has integrity?

At this point, to quote a popular politician, "What does it matter?"

 

[sword]

If he released them I would not read them or would I care how much he is worth.

My point is he said he would do it so whether Democrat or Republican we should expect him to follow through.

We should expect integrity from our leaders regardless of their party affiliation.

Not sure if this matters, but I just heard that Trump will release Putin's tax returns.

IMHO the Democrats allowed Trump to win by running a less than likable candidate. Truth is Obama left with high approval ratings. Hillary may have been hurt by Obama's popularity because she was so not Obama. I also disagree  that the protests and the relatively small violence and vandalism is going to do anything to cement support. I could be wrong but I think that Trump's lack of discipline will eventually wear on people. Stupid stuff like Nordstrom and Ivanka will chip away votes in 2020 a little at a time in addition to people who voted for him because they felt he was promising their lives would improve and they don't improve.

Whether it's the main stream media or the people that are still scratching their heads as to how in the world did Trump win or liberal democrats...............By Trump NOT showing his tax returns and pushing back at the system/Washington IS ONE IF NOT THE ONLY REASON HE IS POTUS!

Am I worried NOPE!

What other politicians in this election cycle have called on the carpet our current government? By Trump doing so, he got elected, BRUH!

Who else with the platform that Trump has has said that Washington is not for the people but for Washington? He RAN and WON on this........Washington is not for the people but they give their speeches as if we are believing what they say and, IMO, insulting the American people's intelligence.

Trump won, good or bad we will see but in the meantime, I tell all that despise him being the POTUS.........................EAT IT!!!!!!!
