I'm baffled by the resistance to this. Shouldn't we require at least the same level of transparency from the most powerful man in the world that banks require from someone applying for a home loan?
It's "motherfuckers," not "mother fuckers," and as I explained some pages back, the IRS is not a political watchdog that would publicize anything noteworthy or concerning in Trump's tax returns. I think the public has a right to know about the finances, business connections, and potential conflicts of interest of anyone who chooses to become the most powerful person in the world, especially seeing how the president is legally immune to conflict of interest claims. Presidential candidates have understood this as a point of decorum for forty years, and it's only now that we finally have someone too shameless to divulge their records unless they're forced to.
Yes however, by forcing it, Trump can and will spin it as a mix of invasion of privacy and democrats who hate him.
So unless his tax returns say he has no money or that he is paid billions by Russia, its not gonna matter to his base. (And even then, they may not care)
Oh he most definitely will spin it that way. And if the democrats didn't do it then he'd spin them as being weak and cowardly.
It's like wrestling with a pig. Strategy will not avail you. There's no way you're not getting muddy.`
Let's lay out what we know. He inherited half a billion from his dad through means that are probably illegal. He set a billion dollars on fire during the course of a decade. He actually set a record for this which is impressive. He got a mysterious bump of 50 million dollars. Nobody know where that came from. Then his children said on record that they borrow a lot from the Russians. That they be broke without them.
There's a whole lot more than that. His finances are weird. It is not at all out of the realm of fantasy that Trump is heavily in debt to the Russians.
