Trump's tax returns to be released to the Dems...

I don't care if he releases his tax returns or not ... but good lord, he said he wanted to release them back in 2015, but supposedly couldn't because he was under audit - which was a crock. Being under audit does not prohibit someone from releasing their returns to the public. Trump is not the first billionaire businessman under audit to run for President. Ross Perot was wealthier than Trump, and also under audit in 1992 ... but he still released his tax returns even though he was running as an independent and not seeking the nomination from a party.

I suspect that these returns will only further reveal what is already known about Trump .... He has lied about how profitable his businesses are (specifically, his golf resort properties). I give Trump credit for his tax avoidance. That doesn't bother me at all, but he is not as successful of a businessman as he has been claiming for 40 years.

Why would the House care if Trump lied about how profitable his businesses were?

The argument the house is making is that they want to make sure the tax code is being applied correctly. And they are going to figure it out with all their accounting and tax law genius while the know nothing scrubs at the IRS have audited him multiple times over decades and found nothing, or little wrong?

This is purely political in an effort to drag his name through the mud.

To my knowledge Trump has had zero tax issues in over 4 decades and as hated as he is you know the IRS started digging through his returns the minute he announced in 2015 and still nothing. Odds are, congress ain't getting him over taxes.

Agreed. Said as much in my post after yours. This is purely political. And this is coming from someone who hates Trump, hates he was president, and hates that he is running again.

So your big gotcha is hoping that a multi millionaire is lyng by saying he has billions ...wtf does it matter. If he's done nothing illegal. Are you just as concerned about Giselle and Brady's money as your are Trump...some of y'all need a freaking hobby other then TDS

LOL.

I didn't call anything a "gotcha." Like I said, it is already known that Trump's golf resort properties are not profitable, as he claimed during his years on "The Apprentice." His two truly successful business ventures have been Trump Tower in Manhattan and that reality show - which was built on the myth that Trump had a great business acumen. Everything else has been the result of savvy branding and what he inherited from his father ... which was far more than he once claimed.

I really do hope he is the Republican Party nominee again in 2024 ... I think Republican Party voters are just stupid enough to do it too.

You answered your own question. Of course, it is political. Democrats want to emphasize that Trump's hotel and golf resort properties hemorrhage money. They want to tarnish the Trump brand.

If ya can't defeat them with ideas cover them in ****.

Joe Biden is in the White House due to voters such as yourself and you’re calling other voters stupid? That is funny as hell right there.

No but the House Committee by statute has the absolute power to demand a copy. Trump lied, dodged, changed his excuses, lied some more, and just flat out made up nonsense to justify not providing them in defiance of the law.

Sorry. Not sorry. Time to see a that he's hiding.

Is it mandatory to show/release tax records? You still have not answered the question. You are (supposed to be) a lawyer. Would you have a client do something that is not legally necessary?

We have about 31 trillion other far more important things to take care of. We should run every single one of these politicians out of their committee for doing this.

I'm not sure if this was a serious post or not ... In case it was, the obvious answer is "YES!"

There are copies of tax returns for every President since Richard Nixon readily available to be viewed online (Well, except for one, of course.) ... and even Franklin Delano Roosevelt's is on this site.

Tax Return History of United States Presidents, Form 1040

Donald Trump really does stand alone on this matter. Sitting Presidents do release their tax returns ... except for him.

So a 1040 tells the whole story with the Biden crime family? Do you think that the 10% for the big guy would go into one of his non-dividend paying entities and completely bypass his 1040.

Fine ... but it is strange that Trump doesn't do it.

Click on the link I provided in post #138 and you will find FDR's tax returns from 1913 to 1937 ... but Trump couldn't be so bothered to release his?

Just understand that he is an anomaly on this issue. Most Presidents, Vice Presidents and Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates do release their tax returns without even having to be asked to do it. It is weird that Trump didn't. It shouldn't be hard to figure out why this leads to suspicion.

WTH do I have to do with anything? Im a CF internet poster. This board just has a lot of left over frumpers on it. LMAO. Like you say, he MIGHT get away with it. It depends on how he claimed it. Most multimillion dollar organizations pay little, or NO tax .

I don’t think you all understand the differences between normal people and billionaires/ multimillionaires that hire whole accounting firms to handle their finances. Let’s dumb it down .. when the IRS calls you and says be here next Tuesday in my office with all of your sh!t or else , you’ll be there next Tuesday . When they call a Trump and tell him the same , he says Fk off call my attorney, his attorney says Fk off call his accounting firm , they say Fk off call our attorneys.. now are you starting to see why you can just say “ Trump is a tax criminal and he may get away with it if he’s lucky “ ? The same multimillionaire congressman calling him a tax this are using the exact same tax code as he is .

Those other presidents deferred their income to the post POTUS years. A 1040 alone barely discloses anything. Or did Obama buy his mansions with his presidential salary?

Then why not release it? We have virtually nothing on Trump. Hell, we have much more on FDR ... and he died in 1945.

So let’s see the entire financial picture of the Big Guy’s finances. EVERY year. EVERY relative and business associate. EVERY entity with his finger prints.

Trump’s lone 1040 would barely scratch the surface of his finances. He doesn’t run every dollar of his wealth creation through his individual return. Likely very little of it.

Ahh, now settle down Cindy. It's a serious question, why does Trump's refusal to release his returns raise suspicion? Do you believe the IRS to be incompetent and unable to find fraud, unreported income, ext in his returns or is it just a case of you (and many others) being nosy? I don't blame him for not releasing them, I don't understand why the tradition even started.

IMO his required financial disclosures tell us more than his returns would.
