Unbelievable. I bet he sits in the hotel at night and he and his cohorts crack up with laughter at how stupid his followers are. "I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and still nothing would happen."

Could you imagine the uproar if Hillary and Obama refused to disclose their tax info?

Meanwhile the trumpeters try to change the subject.

Here's what Mittens had to say...

Romney again hinted at a “bombshell” in the taxes: “While not a likely circumstance,” he said, disclosing the taxes would prove Trump has no “hidden inappropriate associations with... criminal organizations, or other unsavory groups.” The former Massachusetts governor also hit Trump for claiming an audit prevents him from disclosing: “There is nothing that prevents releasing tax returns that are being audited... There is only one logical explanation for Mr. Trump’s refusal to release his returns: There is a bombshell in them.”

Remember when Trump was pressuring Mitt to release his returns?

It's very likely Trump doesn't want people to know how little he pays in taxes, how little he gives to charities and most of all (because of his "youge" ego) he doesn't want people to find out that he's not as rich as he says he is.

From the Washington Post Fact Checker

"Donald Trump has a history of refusing to release his tax returns. In 2011, he said he would release them if President Obama released his long-form birth certificate. When Obama did, Trump said he would release his tax returns at an “appropriate time.” Five years later, Trump still hasn’t released them — and now says there’s “nothing to learn from them.”But there’s actually a lot the public can learn. As we’ve written, presidential candidates don’t have a legal obligation to release their tax returns — but it’s been the practice to do so for the sake of transparency. If Trump doesn’t release his returns, he’d be the first presidential candidate in 40 years not to do so.Tax returns reveal the amount and source of a person’s annual income, which could settle what Trump really earns and whether he’s been exaggerating his wealth (most analysts say he has been). They tell us how much a person gives to charity, which could settle whether Trump really gave $102 million to charity in the past five years (a Washington Post investigation found not a cent was given in actual cash).They reveal how aggressive Trump has been on his taxes, which is especially relevant for someone seeking to become the nation’s chief law enforcement officer in charge of the Internal Revenue Service. And they also tell us what percentage of Trump’s income actually go to taxes. We awarded Four Pinocchios."


Will the Trumpeters care, NOPE!

there was a good interview with George Stephanopolous on GMA this morning.  Trump danced around the question and George kept at him.  He said he will release the return when the audit is over and he admitted that he pays as little tax as possible.  George really got nowhere with Trump but to anyone with a brain bigger than a pea, it was clear as can be that Trump was trying to avoid the issue and gave no answer at all. But I'm sure his followers see some sort of sense in this twisted logic
