No, he's the President of the United States with a unique opportunity for monstrous levels of corruption and I'm just a common, garden variety salary man.
Actually, he doesn’t

So why not just ask about his tax returns since he was in public office specifically since he was POTUS, that's all that should be relevant to the public

The idea behind the convention of presidential candidates showing their taxes is that it establishes a base line of at least this person is not a tax cheat and here are the records of how they make their money.

If anything Trump illustrates what a good idea this convention is and why it should be codified.

All tax returns turned in have been from candidates that have held public office, as we know Trump never held a public office before running and winning POTUS, so it is Apples to Oranges in the tradition of turning over tax returns. Dems. want it to use to hurt him in his re-election bid, now I would be all for his last 2 returns turned over due to him being in the public office now.

Which right-wing website planted that in your head? The same one that said soliciting a bribe isn't a crime if you don't get the bribe?

The ones where he donates his pay checks?

Choosing to work for free is "serving".

Getting paid, like T-bones and CC claim to have been for working IN the military, is "working for"... but, they need the self inflation. I don't see their tax return underwhere posted anywear.

The one that says fake transcriprts and fourth hand gossip are not evidence Mr Lowyer.

...I like the one that says you can hang associates of coup plotters. " Suicide" they call it in New York jails.

Hey you sure jumped on the new talking point in a hurry , weren’t you spouting off about quid pro quo last week ? You must have gotten the memo , polling shows bribery is a more understandable and forceful phrase then quid pro quo .
Here I thought you to be a free agent even though you lean Democrat , but I see in reality you are simply a party schill .

What bribe was solicited? The rhetorical phrase of can you do me a favor? Or the I think, or in my opinion that he withheld aid for dirt? Where nobody was aware of the aid being frozen?
