    Someone should tell Trump the election is over. Is he mental? I find his statement hilarious since he brags about the election, AGAIN, like he does seriously every SINGLE WEEK. I swear he could be telling our nation about declaring war and he would sneak in something about his election.

    The sad thing is I think more people may have voted for him as a vote AGAINST hillary than actually liking and voting for him as a candidate

    Donald Trump May 11th 2016
    "In interview I told @AP that my taxes are under routine audit and I would release my tax returns when audit is complete, not after election!"

    That is one long audit and we are still waiting although im sure there will be an explanation on why he will not release them though if there hadnt been allready since it was almost a year ago he said that. I guess I am taking him too literally though right trump supporters?

    I find it hilarious that people think they're going to find something hidden with his tax returns, something dodgy, even though if he had something dodgy to hide it wouldn't be in his tax returns...

    Either way, I do not see it as necessary for any politician to release their tax returns if they do not wish to.

    Clinton started the birther movement, but you already knew that.

    LOL, well put.....the investigations need to keep a low profile until completion or the Cheeto Jebus will whine like a turbine to high heavens and do something to distract from them.

    We know he has something he doesn't want the world to see. Like how he owes the Russians a ton of money, for instance.

    Or how he's not really a billionaire, he just plays one on TV.

    For the record: President Obama released his Certificate of Live Birth, more than enough to prove that he was born in the USA, in 2008 so he did NOT wait 4 years.

    Lol. Someone has a very short memory.

    So:
    1) You were in a coma during the entirety of the Obama Administration,
    2) You have a really bad memory and I mean a REALLY bad memory,
    3) You are simply following Trump's example and lying while hoping nobody will check you on it,
    4) You have been misinformed by all those right-wing sites that have apparently been rotting your brain.

    Why has Donald sealed his Tax returns?
    Why has Donald sealed his school transcripts?
    Why has Donald sealed the WH visitor logs?

    For that matter, where is Trump's birth certificate?

    What exactly is Donald hiding so desperately?

    “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets, we see a lot of money pouring in from Russia."
    ~Donald Trump Jr. - 2008

    But it's ok since the right-wing loves it some Russian Koolaid now.

    More name calling, got too love it. I could care less if Obama was born in Hawaii or Africa, just as I can care less that Trump hasn't released his tax returns. I just find it hilarious that the left is so unhinged that they lost the election when their own media lied to them and kept many from feeling the need to vote. The election is over, get over yourselfs, I my have disagreed with Obama's policies, but I never disrespected the President and I defy any of you to find a single post that I did...All your side has is hate and name calling...

    Maybe you didnt disrepect Obama the president because he didnt come across as a total idiot and con man and even if he was "faking it" at least could act presidential. I voted for Mccain btw...even with Palin as his VP pick....I didnt like Obamas total lack of experience and questionable affiliations and was probably more right leaning back then. Today im probably more central or even slightly left leaning. Or maybe just ANTI right since some of the top republicans I cannot stand, Mitch mcconnell being 1a.

    Yeah I know, He took office in Jan 2009...The short form is easier to forge. Why didn't he come out with the long form, legal birth certificate initially? Does make it seem more suspicious, brings up a lot of questions? Did it take him 3 years to find a doctor willing to forge his name? How much did that cost him?
    I know, there is no proof, but the same can be said about the Trump/Russian collusion conspiracy theory, no proof.

    If his tax returns showed he donated $100m to charities, leftists would still bitch about something else.

    What does he have to gain? You already saw the SC nomination to nuclear. As far as I'm concerned, I hope Trump doesn't give the left a ****ing thing; and I hope the next SC nominee is as far right as we've ever seen because everyone knows they won't be confirmed anyway.

    Like one of these days all these losers out protesting will suddenly find other things to do with their Saturday... yeah don't hold your breath.

    This is why Trump was elected, the majority of Americans are brain dead. Instead of protesting for the release of this intellectually bankrupt egomaniac's tax returns, why isn't the income tax itself being protested? There was a revolution in this country and it was created because of far less tax thievery. These racketeers are stealing our money to pay for permanent wars for the military industrial complex while they're trying to destroy all other programs they call "entitlements", as well as the infrastructure. How much do 59 missiles and the MOAB cost? How much does it cost to replace them? Were you asked if you approve of blowing up your money? Was Congress asked to approve?

    I hated the way Gorsuch was treated by the Democratic Party. A guy that got nominated to the Circuit 99-0 wasn't good enough for 60 votes? A guy that got the highest possible rating from the Bar Association wasn't a candidate they could get around in a bipartisan manner? Then what does the Democratic Party hope to achieve in the next four years? Pounding sand?

    That is what happens when the Oval Office is occupied by an immature, emotionally needy, SNOWFLAKE (such as Trump).

    They can march till the cows come home and it will likely not change a thing.

    It's bringing more attention the swindler's BS and it's caused another twitter storm from Twitler.

    If the increased attention does not compel Trump to release his taxes, then it is a wasted effort from my POV. Trump cannot be forced to release his taxes nor do aI think he ever will. I think we should focus on that which we do have power over, such pointing out his hypocrisy and useing it to chip away at his base.

    I think they should. If the GOP doesn't show that they can't buck the Trump line, and Trump fails, the GOP will have another Bush-style legacy to their name, and combining Bush and Trump, it'd be very hard to see most moderates going GOP in the future.

    Now I see why it's so beneficial for the Left to take down Trump. They might come out of it stronger than the Obama years.

    Trump promised his tax returns.

    so we demand he keep his promise.

    what's the problem?

    Yes, he's used that paid to protest claim before. Actually, the claim originated on a fake news site set up by some guy who was amazed at the way right wingers took it at face value, and even more amazed how much quick money he made off of it.

    Since then, the "paid protestors" thing has become a right wing meme, dispite the absence of any evidence to support the assertion.

    Trump has played this phony card at least twice now.

    And the bobble heads bob their heads.
