    A well worn assertion that has worked well in the past. Don't underestimate the frustration and determination of the right.
    Trump, his campaign, his victory and his administration have broken all the norms. I'm not sure the kryptonite is going to work on this new guy.

    tax cuts aren't free money, it has to be taken from somewhere. He won't cut military, and said repeatedly on the campaign trail he would not touch SS, medicare or medicaid. He also wants to spend massively on law enforcement, so........

    Yes tax cuts aren't free money. I earned the money, A tax cut means I get to keep more of what I earned - so in that sense you're not giving me anything I didn't already earn and acquire on my own.
    The more people you can put to work, the more taxes you can collect.
    Thank you President Trump.

    I'll take that deal when Al Sharpton becomes president and gets to ask congress to implement his tax policies.

    Okay. Here's another deal. Donald Trump's tax returns don't matter. All that matters is his job performance as President of the United States.

    You lefties are acting as if the sky is going to fall because of this. I hear that Wikileaks is going to publish them, and if there was anything out of the ordinary on them, you don't think Hillary's team would've unveiled it. You know they had an army of lawyers digging into them!

    The fact of the matter is it's not as if it's unconstitutional to not release your taxes, hell, it's not even breaking any laws! The only downside I see is that he said he'd release them when the audit was complete, but going by the huge win he had, something tells me that the vast, vast majority of Americans don't care too much, or else they wouldn't vote for him!

    No, we're asking the president to keep his word.

    Backing out of nothing. Trump doesn't have to tell anyone what his personal tax business is.

    He changed his mind. Move on.

    I don't care, do you? If there was something illegal going on the IRS would have exposed it by now.

    Of course he doesn't have to show them. It's his choice if he wants to keep his word or not.

    The audit doesn't prevent him from releasing them. That was a vacuous excuse he made up to delay releasing them until after the election. Which he now says, he will not release them.

    Nope.. we have been through this....There is nothing legally keeping him from doing it under audit but you wont find one tax expert that suggests doing it.

    How come you didn't presure obama about keeping his word? You know, how he said he'd post bills online so the people could read them, before he signs them? Ohh that's right, he's a democrat so you don't care!

    You'd have a better chance at getting that garden gnome, Reince Preibus, to play basketball in the NBA than for Trump to cater to a very small minority of people.

    Again, he's already said he's not going to release them. The audit is a red herring. He said he would release them and then when pressed, he began stalling with his audit excuse. Had he lost the election, he certainly wouldn't have release them. Winning the election he now says he won't release them. It appears that he never had any intention of ever releasing them. It was all a ruse which he successfully pulled off.

    If that is the case surely you have other things to fake outrage over.

    Small minority? 74% think he should release them.

    dropping
    to 44 percent among independents and just 16 percent of
    Democrats. Similarly, it’s 72 percent among strong conservatives, slipping to 5

    percent among
    “somewhat” conservative
    Americans, then plummeting to 37 percent of moderates and 25

    Its amazing how many *independents* these fake polls find.

    LOL

    Saying something is fake because you don't like it doesn't actually render it fake. It only means you can't refute it.
