What is really going on with Trump's taxes?

Every president and politician makes promises they don't keep.

I wouldn't release it either, were I him at this juncture. If Dems want it, make them fight for it in court and when it, too, turns up nothing let them look more foolish. Obama did this with his birth certificate.

There are so many parallels between Trump and B. Clinton, I'd be surprised if they don't share DNA.

I don't remember, did Obama continually promise the American public he would give them a copy of his birth certificate?
The only thing Clinton and Trump have in common is that they screwed around on their wife. Clinton on his first, Trump on his third.

So you’re concerned about an irrelevant, inconsequential promise by this president but not the promises of the one before who’s broken promises actually impacted people’s lives?

I don't think Obama did promise to release his BC.

He promised to close Gitmo, get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan, lower medical insurance costs and healthcare costs in general and have the most transparent administration ever. Just some little things he promised and never followed through on.

Yes, but he didn't have even a smidgen of corruption in his administration. At least, that's what he said.

Cummings indeed authored a bill related to presidential records and it indeed maintains the sealing of said records for 12 years after the President leaves office. The intent of the bill was to streamline the release of the records after the 12 year period was up. Darryl Issa got an ammendment added allowing continued use of personal email fir government business as long as the email was fwd’d to .gov domain for archival purposes I believe.

And I’m guessing you had zero knowledge of any of this or you could have simply provided this basic clarification statement instead of screeching “Fake News!”

I am well aware of the Bill which actually expanded access to Presidential Records.

He gave all a valiant effort. I put those on the level of Trump's "build that wall" and "drain the swamp." One he tried to do, the other is sort of unknowable.
"Mexico will pay" was a more blatant straight up lie.
I'm certain Obama never continually and knowingly lied about doing any of those things you listed, but that is precisely what Trump did with the tax return "promise".

I am not indignant, and there is no 'problem' I don't care about his taxes. You are the pathetic straw grabber.

No; the analogy is both Obama and Trump refusing to accede to the demands of political opponents.
Besides Clinton being more politically polished - and being accused of actual, violent rape - the two are remarkably similar. Both have an aversion to the truth for optics sake, both philanderers, both prominently narcissistic, FBI battles, independent and special counsel probes, public self-pity; there's so much similarity.

I have to have my original birth certificate to renew my CDL. I’m quite sure one is needed to fill the seat of President.

I'm not sure it is actually in the Constitution, but if it is it still needs to change because Americans are being taken advantage of by this. Unless of course you acknowledge that the child is an AMerican citizen, but the parents are not, and therefore have NO right to be here unless they have the proper visas etc etc etc. They can either take their American baby back to their origin, or they can leave it here. Either way, they GTFO because THEY don't belong here.

I compare it to the poison tree thing that defense lawyers love so much. If the parents were here illegally and dumped a kid, then giving the kid citizenship is wrong because he became a citizen from an illegal act (trespass). If you reward that kind of behavior, then we might as well say that a bank robber is entitled to what he stole ... and for libs, Trump is entitled to be president even if the Russians cooked the election.

I don't think there's anything in the Constitution that would condone gain from an illegal act. If any amendment is so poorly written that it would imply gain from an illegal act, then those parts should be overturned.

I looked at who actually vets candidates and actually found no procedure defining who, what, where, or when. My conclusion is that if someone doesn't scream foul in the primaries, there is no screening of the birth certificate or anything else ... not even a security clearance for the person who will have access to all state, military, and intelligence secrets. It appears you are more subject to official scrutiny when you register to vote than a presidential candidate, and that's both disgusting and intolerable.

Oh, and apparently (by the Obama experience) no citizen or regular entity has standing to challenge or review a candidate's (or elected official's) credentials.

I'm not here to offer supporting data for your edification, the MAGA faithful live in a fact-free and amoral universe.

For like the millionth time, what do you hope to find that the IRS can’t? It shows his earning and taxes he paid, what more do you need? Is it just a hope that he makes less than he might lead you to believe? What was it his stolen returns showed that mancow drug out? That he made $150 million and paid 38 million in taxes. All more than Bernie, Hillary, and Barry paid combined and a higher percentage.

I’ll add not a single person voted for a Trump or didn’t vote for him based on his promise to release his returns. This is just dims being dims. Looking for whatever pointless talking point they can muster to appease their ignorant masses.

You make great arguments as to why it is completely asinine for Trump to renege on a promise he made multiple times to the American public.
