    Nope. Being audited does not prevent him revealing his returns as he falsely claims.

    Trump has too many skeletons in the closet, certainly when it comes to money alone !!!!

    Great.

    Then you can find me a quote from a lawyer advising their client to publicly release tax documents under audit.

    I guess that tells you how competent Obama, the FBI, all the angry Democrats they could hire, and the MSM media is when they couldn't find anything.

    Far more generous than any Democrat. Even more generous than Bernie Sanders.

    God Bless Trump.

    Would you like to go into Newsweek. They're even worse.
    I'm saying the root source for this article (The New York Times) is an unconfirmed tax return, that if legit, was illegal obtained and shared and has NO SOURCES to confirm it. They NY Times is propaganda.

    Meanwhile, they have a bigger story they can prove with China Joe Biden and they refuse to even report it.

    Why would Joe Blow Citizen need to publicly release tax records? Trump assured Team USA he would. He did not. He is hiding them, even fighting to keep them hidden but he is about to be blown out of the water by SCOTUS. That 'legal advice' skirt is about to be removed, and he will not be able to cower behind it any longer.

    You don’t know it was obtained illegally. Why would you make up something like that? Bidens lawyer got it when Don dropped them off at a copymat (high on Ritalin) and never reclaimed them.

    When you can’t dispute the facts (and you’re going to defend a liar), a meme will do nicely. And look, all the other deliberate no nothings are bobbing their bobble heads right along.

    You had to construct a circle of made up nonsense, surrounding two facts (both used deliberately out of context) in order to make up your post!

    It’s a bit more clever than the usual Trumpster inversions and whataboutism, but it’s still dishonest and misleading.

    Yes, Trump was under audit. His history shows that his organization usually bends tax laws to the breaking point, far more aggressively than is typical in the commercial real estate industry.

    Democrats have not been the authors of any major tax legislation since the Carter Administration. The regulation you’re referring to was championed by Republican and agreed to because the GOP was on one of its periodic threats to shut the government down in the middle of a depression.

    You also conveniently forgot to mention that one of Trump’s campaign promises was to eliminate that very tax gimmick. Of course, this sort of thing is far too detailed for the average Trumpster. Anyway, while Trump was busy waving his arms and bellowing over some made up nonsense, Mnuchin was busy making that provision remained in the Trump tax bill.

    Publically to release a tax return is not an issue for a lawyer.

    Why would a taxpayer worry about releasing their tax return to the public?

    The IRS already has that return, whether tge IRS agrees like it or not!

    The ONLY reason for the public to not see Trump's tax return is the public would see the unending lies from Trump. Lies that are becoming public day by day.

    Of course, Trump also doesn't want anyone else to see how badly all of his business partners, customers, etc., that Trump has screwed and lied to.

    the American people do not know which countries Trump owes money too, Trump is hiding that from us, but we can guess

    has this debt influenced his foreign policy?

    He has loans from a few banks, not countries. Biden on the other hand got a 10 percent kickback from the Communist Party of China's energy company.

    While he may have lied, this doesn't really prove he did or he didn't because corporate charitable donations can be carried forward for 5 years

    Horrible, horrible pop-up for the first link.

    I was also interested to read that Bush donated 600 k and Obama a whopping 1.2 mil.

    P.s. the first article appears to be 2 years out of date.
