    That chart is not from the tax filing because you don't include a chart like that for a tax filing. Where did it really come from?

    Stupid attempt at diversion. The Clinton foundation is not running for President of the United States.

    How do you know that? Is it possible to be 100% honest, not a fraud and still not publicize your return?

    His returns show that he's NOT a "billionaire"....


    and thus undercuts his own...and his Cultists' ...claims about how "successful he is in business, he will be as President."

    But the owner of the Clinton Foundation is running for President. Why do you want to know Trumps financials but not Hilary's?

    Your graph is bogus. Their tax filing is here.

    On the entire tax filing there is no graph. There are no graphs on tax filings. Do you make stupid graphs with your crayons when you send your taxes in? Why do you think you can post complete BS here and think no one will call you on it?

    You Are confused. Hillary has released her tax returns and the Donald has not. Now if you want the Clinton Foundation to release their revords then of course you want all of Trumps companies to release theirs. I can support that.

    Actually, I don't care if any of them release or do not release their tax records. Its not going to change anything, the choice is still between 2 of the worst candidates imaginable. Everyone knows Hilary is a thief and crook and liar, nobody needs to see her tax returns to know that. Everyone knows Trump bought Hilary when she was Senator of NY, which says a lot about Trumps' morals.

    Its the Hilary supporters who are so concerned about protecting Hilary's questionable activities, yet are demanding Trump be completely open. Its a typical prog scam, its a search for blackmail and smear material.

    There are a number of ways outside of knowing a candidate's tax returns to evaluate fitness for office. You seem to think seeing the return is the only way to evaluate the candidate or such a major way that any other way is too inadequate. You need to prove your case. You are the one claiming we HAVE to see the candidate's tax returns as if there isn't any other way to evaluate the candidates adequately.

    As I said and I didn't post it. So are you denying the numbers in it?

    Charity watchdog: Clinton Foundation a ‘slush fund’

    "The Clinton Foundation’s finances are so messy that the nation’s most influential charity watchdog put it on its “watch list” of problematic nonprofits last month.

    The Clinton family’s mega-charity took in more than $140 million in grants and pledges in 2013 but spent just $9 million on direct aid.

    The group spent the bulk of its windfall on administration, travel, and salaries and bonuses, with the fattest payouts going to family friends.

    On its 2013 tax forms, the most recent available, the foundation claimed it spent $30 million on payroll and employee benefits; $8.7 million in rent and office expenses; $9.2 million on “conferences, conventions and meetings”; $8 million on fundraising; and nearly $8.5 million on travel. None of the Clintons is on the payroll, but they do enjoy first-class flights paid for by the foundation."

    If Trump continues his racist tirades against US District judges and others, he may succeed in distracting from having to come clean and release his tax returns with their potential "blockbuster" that Willard said was being hidden. It doesn't take a Phi Beta Kappa from Trump® U to figure that out.

    Even the crybaby's most fawning GOP bum kissers are getting disgusted.

    I'd say, "He doesn't even claim as much as he could."

    Do you think he'll persist in trying to hide his tax returns?

    Of course he will. Whatever he needs to hide isn't going to change over time. A hint comes from his claimed property tax break that is only available to a person with an income under a half a million.

    The media entertainer appears to be a very vindictive fellow who viciously lashes out at anyone who intimates that he is less than perfect.

    Surely, coming clean with his returns would expose Willard Romney as decidedly intemperate in claiming that they contain a "Blockbuster!"

    Those are the two most likely results so what say you? I bet you can't even say what percent would meet your "approval". How much exactly is a candidate suppoesed to give in order to qualify?

    And that he should score points for doing so?

    He's not hiding them now, he doesn't have one yet. Will he release his return once the audit is over and is accepted by the IRS? I expect he will but I don't predict his actions. Were I his political adviser I would advise him to do so but I don't believe it will hurt or harm his support either way.

    To whatever extent all recent presidential candidates have "scored points" by providing their tax returns for the public to assess? Of course.

    He may or may not be under an IRS audit, but it would not prevent his releasing past or current returns anyway.

    If he truly believes that less damage will be done by continuing to hide them than by coming clean, it makes sense for him to persist in hiding them.

    Trump is one the stingiest philanthropists in the US. I don't think we will find that he's made donations to charity that he hasn't claimed on his taxes. LOL.
