Good, there is no need whatsoever to see his returns.

Being a Pres is different than being a businessman building buildings.

His REAL tax return will be his performance in the next 100 days, 6, 12 36 etc mos. This is the only tax return that counts now.

I don't know why there's a problem with 'put America first'. That's what every country should be doing for their own.
I sure wish our government would 'put Canada first'!

So, you believe that he shouldn't be held accountable for any promises he made during the campaign. That's a good thing, because he's not going to be keeping any of them.
Could you name 10 politicians that have kept 10% of their promises?

Surely you don't mean ahead of "Justin first"!
Maybe we are not putting his name right. Justin should be Just in. Ask his wife.

Hillary Clinton’s IRS — a sneak preview
Use of the agency against Republican critics likely will persist

But that is exactly the situation we have watched unfold over the past three years, since the Treasury inspector general for tax administration (TIGTA) confirmed that the IRS had, indeed, targeted conservative groups — hundreds of them — for singular mistreatment and abuse. The Department of Justice attorney charged with “investigating” the targeting was Barbara Bosserman, an individual who had contributed the maximum to President Obama’s political campaigns.

And what about IRS Commissioner John Koskinen? He is yet another maximum Democratic donor. Since 1997, Mr. Koskinen has contributed $51,550 to the Democratic National Committee, various Democratic congressional and Senate candidates and the presidential campaigns of John Kerry, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
In fact, Mr. Koskinen was an early donor to the Hillary Clinton Senate campaign in 1999 and 2000, and contributed the maximum to Hillary’s failed 2008 presidential campaign. In total, Mr. Koskinen has donated $6,800 to various Hillary campaigns since 1999. (He covered his political bases by contributing the maximum to Mr. Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns after Hillary was no longer a candidate).

Hillary Clinton's IRS likely to single out Republican critics - Washington Times

speaking of politics and the IRS...
hope trump has some good people figuring things out...

i wonder if he has any dead bodies of his accountants rolled up in whitehouse carpets
like Vince Foster was for doing Hillary's books

with the current lawsuit in place .he might HAVE to release his tax returns. The mere fact he refuses to do so.makes him look suspect. He could have made all this go away by just releasing them and undergo ;the scrutiny that other presidents have gone through. and be done with it. In some ways he is his own worst enemy.
He is just going back on his word.aka delay tactics. 79 per cent of the US population say he should release them. He is now the servant of the peopleSo why is he thumbing his nose at them. .after all they voted him in and he owes them to be a resistible transparent leader.

C'on Chump, err, Trump - let's see those tax returns so that we can know for sure whether or not you donated thousands to Planned Parenthood like the online rumors say you did.

nope you are saying "do like I say, not like I do"
and you wonder at the lack of respect you get around here

A surgeon uses a scalpel to cut into a patient.

He tells his patient not to use the scalpel to cut into others.

According to your ridiculous logic, the patient should be allowed to cut someone up.


Now please, enough with the dumb expressions that have beaten into your head since you were a child.

and I have done it to you at least once a day since the US presidential campaign started last year
I enjoy that

There's nothing wrong with 'put America first', it just means you have to get out of all the trade agreements that you've signed. If you become a trade protectionist, you also have to accept that you might not be able to export very much.

The White House Now Says, Nope, You're Never Going To See Trump's Tax Returns

Senior advisor to president Kellyanne Conway said Sunday that Donald Trump will now not release his tax returns after the completion of an IRS audit despite his repeated pledges to do so.

"The White House response is that he’s not going to release his tax returns," Conway said on ABC's This Week to host George Stephanopoulos.

"We litigated this all through the election. People didn’t care. They voted for him, and let me make this very clear: most Americans...are very focused on what their tax returns will look like while President Trump is in office, not what his look like."

Conway's response came after Stephanopoulos cited a petition with over 200,000 signatures calling for the release of the president's tax returns, which he declined to do during the election.

I guess no trade happened prior to these agreements .
