    Why is Trump so protective of his tax returns? I'm no tax expert, but my returns say basic like what I made, what I donated, stock trades, rental income, etc.

    What are some reasons why someone would be so afraid of sharing it?



    Trump sues to prevent the release of his tax returns
    https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/23/polit...rns/index.html

    Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump has filed suit in federal court in Washington, DC, against the House Ways and Means Committee, the New York state attorney general and the New York tax commissioner to prevent the disclosure of his tax returns.

    Ego.

    He's on the record saying how much of a billionaire he is. It would be a shot to his ego when its reavealed he only has like 50 or 60 million dollars to his name.

    I doubt you believe that, eunuch.

    Forbes estimates his net worth at $3.5 billion.

    Trump has a fragile ego, he does not want people to know that he's not a billionaire. If banks know Trump is not as rich as he says he is they would either loan him less money or no money at all when he's no longer president being that Trump does not like honoring his debts as a businessman. Funny thing is that if Trump only invested in index funds instead of his past failed businesses more he would be worth more today than he is.

    Why would anyone open himself up to the scrutiny of IRS (where if you call 3 times will get 3 DIFFERENT answers to the same question)? If he were to cure cancer, people would find something to criticize - what do you think Dems would do with creative (but legal) accounting in the headlines. I can hear the sound bites now.

    I actually dont blame him for that one. I'm pretty sure his return is damn complicated. When they are released there will be thousands of volunteer "audit cops" digging through the minutia of his returns looking for discrepancies. There is no law he has to release his returns. Yes, it has been customary to release returns before the election, but it's not law. Anyone that had a problem with him not releasing tax returns was welcome to vote for Hillary.

    Neither you or Trump get a say in that, and that’s not what this is about.

    IMO, just doesn’t work for him politically. Dems are going to scrutinize and use any loophole he ever used against him (even if them or his donors do the same), and it’s also very likely he’s full of about how rich he is (which a centered person shouldn’t really care about either way, but we know he does).

    Everybody knows he’s full of , however, this is the kind of thing where he won’t make an unforced error.

    Why did he say his tax returns would be released once the “routine audit” was complete? And does it bother you at all that he lies so blatantly?

    He's just trying to get under their skin. Media is always throwing the 3 equal branches of gov't in my face. He's using the Judicial branch to it's fullest extent.

    If that tact is good enough for everyone else it's good enough for the old man. The mother ers wouldn't get a paper clip without 5 Justices compelling it.

    I don't think a tax return says how rich you are. It's about income you made/lost that year - not necessarily assets - especially real estate.

    It's a red herring, an old boot he's thrown out there for them to chase & chew on. A distraction & Media feels it in their bones, knows it, but, are in too deep now to quit it.
