    OH geez you've been making your claim based on the tax forms in the UK.

    Your over, perhaps you should stick to the domestic affairs of your own country you have no standing demand an American politician do anything.

    Trump's not giving them his tax returns, Hillary never gave up her Wall St speeches transcripts, time to chalk it up to the "too bad, so sad" category.

    Just as I thought. You have been making things up. Clearly you do not understand about tax returns and you have just been waffling:

    All of your worldwide income must be reported to the IRS. This includes regular salary and foreign investments. You must report your foreign investments even if you did not receive end-of-year forms for your investments.

    The IRS requires all US Citizens to file an annual US income tax return. This is true for every citizen, whether he/she lives in the United States or in a foreign country. Reporting foreign investments is one of your responsibilities as a US Citizen. You are required to file a tax return showing all of your income even if you weren’t issued end-of-year forms like 1098s or 1099s.

    Far more than you a foreigner who had never dealt with our tax code and trying to hold him to YOUR tax reporting, what utter folly.

    Yes so what? And no not every citizen is required to file a tax return. And those forms you are talking about are not part our your income tax return. Trump reported his on his FEC filing that is all that is required of a candidate for office and as President he will file annual reports on those holdings.

    You are arguing our of ignorance of our tax system and about our domestic matters and you ain't doing so good. So you are wasting my time.

    You're writing rubbish.

    You have no clue as evidenced by more of your waffling. All US citizens have to file a tax return if he has foreign investments.

    You said

    "The IRS requires all US Citizens to file an annual US income tax return. This is true for every citizen, whether he/she lives in the United States or in a foreign country."

    That is NOT a true statement you don't know what you are talking about as I have demonstrated over and over. Stick to your own country where you may have some workable knowledge, I could care less what you have to file in the UK it is totally specious to our tax reporting.

    No, 'I' did not say that, a link does. That was a quote from https://www.taxesforexpats.com/arti...reign-investments-after-return-to-the-us.html which is linked to the subject of foreign investments that HAVE TO BE included in the tax return. I've have provided three links that state that foreign investments and assets have to be included in the tax return, two from the IRS (US not UK tax office) and one other. You have shown that you have never dealt with foreign investments and have no knowledge on that subject.

    It would not surprise me if the next thing that you will be claiming is that Trump does not have any foreign investments and assets

    I have no idea what these investments are.

    I wasn't giving him a pass. I'm just saying that there's no comparison between their individual financial situations when they assumed office.

    You're responding as if by me giving you the name of some tax expert or other, you'll be satisfied… or not. Which you and I both know is not true. My point (the larger point) is that you guys are setting a terrible precedent for such a short-sighted gain. One thing I thought we might all agree on is that these politicians should be held to the highest standards of transparency that we can muster. We should ALWAYS press for more. This isn't about me providing you with a name that you'll immediately dispel as some liberal plant (because that's the game right?), it's about recognizing the arc of history and being cognizant that it's little steps of surrender that obfuscate the workings of things; this is what MADE the swamp. Demand his returns. It won't be long before you wish you had.

    LMAO. Yes, every globalist in the world wants to crucify the man, and yet, the central bankers at the FED are waiting for his tax returns to be publicly exposed to bring down the hammer.

    You guys have it all figured out.
