“To be a candidate, a person must disclose their tax returns.”

It’s funny to me that people are getting worked up about this. What do they think is going to be in there that is going to change anyone’s mind? Trump is a shiesty, mediocre business man with multiple bankruptcies to his credit, and a history of using eminent domain to steal people’s property for private ventures.

...at a party.

Yes, this may work...*if* the press wanted his tax returns. The media as a whole doesn’t want tax returns. It—if it can be called an it, and treated so monolithically—wants a story. If the story is “Donald Trump refuses” then so be it. You’re right that traditional journalism is not able to navigate these waters,…

“This is very frustrating and embarrassing for the press, which believes that a candidate’s financial situation is information that the public vitally needs to know.”

History tells us that every great nation has its day, and then that day comes to an end. I only hope we don’t take the rest of the planet down with us.

Why do his tax returns matter at this point? There’s nothing in there that will make anti-Trumpers vote for him. And for those who are still Team Trump, what could they possibly learn in his tax returns that will change their minds at this point?

I’m aware, it’s why I said “as a functioning nation”.. I know, like and respect many Americans. I just think that perhaps “America” itself isn’t working out.

Who cares if or when he does? It’s a stupid “tradition” and doesn’t mean a thing.

Fuck Jimmy Fallon.

This is very frustrating and embarrassing for about the press

Serious comment: who the hell cares?

It is unacceptable for any candidate to conceal their financial situation. To be a candidate, a person must disclose their tax returns.

This is a distraction. Who cares about his tax returns?

Agreed. But the tax returns aren’t going to impact his odds of being president. You seriously think his supporters will care?

Similar thing to the other side. No one’s going to demand Hillary release her speech transcripts because they’ve already decided they’re voting for Hillary even if she’s secretly sacrificing infants every night.

Trump promised to donate $5 million to charity if he was convinced that Obama was born in the United States. When and where will he be making that charitable donation?

At this point, he’s never gonna release them because Hillary and her campaign can’t stop shooting themselves in the feet.

Zero benefit to him. No trump supporter is not voting for him for not releasing.

2 candidates with pathological aversions to transparency...the leadership we deserve.
