Somehow every presidental nominee since Esinhower has managed to release tax returns. "Crooked" Hillary release over 20 years worth.

And I would SO MUCH rather see some of about 10,000 emails made public rather than her tax returns.

Are we talking about Obama?  One or both of the Bush’s?  Clinton?  Eisenhower?  Nixon?  Kennedy? Lincoln?  

 

I mean, show me a politician who did not lie to get ahead.

I really don't understand the tax return fetish.

99.9% of the population won't know how to read them to begin with.

And the qualified 0.1% would tweak the facts to get their political points out.

Mitt Romney shouldn't have released them either.

They might help clear up the question about the size Trump's supposed fortune. Part of the reason for Trump's appeal to many of the folks who voted for him, was the claim Trump has often repeated that he is worth in excess of $10 Billion, when others have suggested that he isn't worth anywhere close to that sum. Imagine if it came out during the election that Trump was broke, or only worth a fraction of his claimed fortune.

There are white lies, and there are pants on fire lies. Trump is almost certainly guilty of the latter.

Get over yourself.  Trump would have won if he was worth $1mil or $100bil.  Look at his opponent.  She never had a chance.  His money had no bearing on the election, and people who think it did need their own signs.

Does it matter at all how many lies one tells before their pants catch on fire?

Really? Trump likes to project himself as someone in the know. How would it look to his supporters if they found out he was a broke looser? All the talk about Donald J Trump knowing how to "fix America" might sound hollow to even them. Am I wrong?

Wish I was that broke.

I am sure Trump has exceeded in one year, any lies told by Obama in eight years of being President by a very considerable margin. The way you are falling over yourself to excuse Donald Trump is very telling.

Yes, I believe you are. Sorry, I know the truth hurts sometimes.

 

BTW... it’s loser, not looser.  The latter is for nuts and bolts.

There is no way to see someone's net worth from his/her tax return by the way.

 

Someone worth $100bn could have no or little income.
