5 reasons Donald Trump really doesn’t want his tax returns released

Trump broke with recent tradition for presidents and presidential
candidates by refusing to release his past tax records, insisting that
he was under audit and therefore could not release the returns. He can
release them even while he’s under audit. He has also repeatedly
insisted that tax returns provide little financial information. (This is
also not true.)

Trump’s repeated attempts to keep his tax returns private – over years – begs the simple question: Why? And there are several potential reasons
that jump to mind:

1) Trump may not be as rich as he says he is. Not long after Trump
launched his presidential campaign in 2015, he said he was worth upwards
of $10 billion. Forbes estimated his net worth was less than half that
that year. Trump appears to use outlandishly elevated claims of his
wealth as proof positive he is smarter (and better) than most people.
It’s uniquely possible that a release of his tax returns would take the
air out of a balloon that Trump has been blowing up for much of his
adult life.

2) He may not pay (or hasn’t paid) his fair share of taxes, despite his claims that he pays “a lot.” We know, thanks to reporting from The New
York Times, that Trump paid zero federal taxes in 11 of the 18 years of
returns that the publication was able to obtain. And even in 2017, his
first year as president, Trump paid just $750 in federal taxes – a
paltry sum for someone as wealthy as he is. The Times estimated that
“Trump has paid about $400 million less in combined federal income taxes
than a very wealthy person who paid the average for that group each year.”

3) The $73 million refund. We learned from the Times’ reporting that
Trump applied for a $72.9 million tax refund in 2010. (He claimed large
losses that were widely attributed at the time to the decline of his
Atlantic City casinos.) The Internal Revenue Service started its audit
of the refund in 2011, which was still ongoing as of 2020. It’s uniquely possible that Trump simply doesn’t want to have the refund issue brought
back up, for fear he might be on the hook for the amount.

4) Trump may have loans with foreign countries or individuals. We know,
via congressional testimony from former Trump confidante Michael Cohen,
that the former president was deeply involved in the potential
construction of Trump Tower Moscow. And that Cohen lied about that
involvement (and how long it stretched) to protect Trump. Donald Trump
Jr. reportedly said at a 2008 real estate conference: “In terms of
high-end product influx into the US, Russians make up a pretty
disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets. Say, in Dubai,
and certainly with our project in SoHo, and anywhere in New York. We see
a lot of money pouring in from Russia.”

5) He might not donate much (or anything) to charity. Trump long used
his charitable organization to feather his own nest and collect
political chits rather than for any philanthropic purposes. (Trump shut
down the charity in 2018.) It’s not at all clear how generous (if at
all) Trump has been to other charities over the past few decades. While
there is no requirement for wealthy individuals to make large charitable donations, many do. And so, it would be a decidedly bad look for Trump
if it looked like his repeated claims of largesse donated to charity
wound up being false.

Whatever the reason – or reasons – it’s been clear for the last seven years that Trump is absolutely dead set on keeping his returns private.
Which makes me wonder what he is hiding – still.

Trump lives rent free in the head of every democrat. They don't want to
evict him - they like it - it gives them something to bitch about and
keeps their mind off Brandon. It is easy to understand their attitude -
they voted for Brandon and he has been such a roaring success. Gas is
down from over $5/gal when he took office to only around $3.37.gal now.

If I had a nickel for every lie that imbecile has told in the last three
years I could buy a new Saw Stop cabinet saw and still have money in my
pocket.

Democrats are low-rez thinkers and it is not surprising that they would
vote for a village idiot to lead them. Unfortunately, for the rest of
us, Brandon's dumpster fire has turned into a real goatfuck.

The Dems know that they screwed up - but in their feeble mind - "Hey,
he's better than Trump" - and they believe it and ignore the goatfuck..
