    Trump has refused to release his tax returns, cause he says they are under audit.

    However, there are other tax returns he could release from this decade, that are NOT under audit.

    Trump, now refuses to release those too.

    that's what he told Fox News:

    Van Susteren pressed Trump, asking why he is unwilling to release tax returns that are no longer under audit, even if he still refuses to publicize his most recent documents.

    “Most people don’t care about it,” Trump responded. “I’ve had very, very little pressure.”




    Even more, it appears that in 2012, Trump urged Obama to release personal documents that other Presidents and Presidential candidates have released.

    "Why does Obama believe he shouldn't comply with record releases that his predecessors did of their own volition? Hiding something?"

    Mr. Trump, you are starting to REALLY look like a hypocrite, who is desperate to hide some very damning info about your financial dealings.

    Obama should call the head of the IRS and tell him to stop the audit and clear his returns.

    While I don't really care about this tax return stuff, I think that it is a bit stale and an old practice that needs to be done away with, I do think this makes Trump look a foolish.

    I also think most folks who are anti-Trump wont care when he releases them. They will just turn to another line of attack on wealth, which is red meat to many in the "burn the rich" wing of the Democrat party.

    The years under audit are apparently 2009 thru the present. He should be pressed to release 2000 thru 2008, as Ms. Clinton has done.

    I agree that he should release his returns and should have been pressed to long ago, why wasn't he? I think the mainstream media and dems were saving that for the Debates. But my brother is a tax attorney for corporations and individuals and a coeding to him those making millions, billions use various loop holes and questionable means to save taxes as have the Clinton's. I would bet Trump has paid a very low percentage tax on his "earned" income and his accounts have used legal means to reduce his corporate tax and capital gains tax, as anyone able to would. Including the Clinton's. Perhaps he does know first hand which tax. Codes we need to change to force million and billionaires to pay their fair share.

    Anyway, under Obama our business is losing money and Clinton promises more of his be. We can't afford that and we will take our Chances on trump.
