I agree with Ann Coulter. Trump doesn’t need the leftist legals working pro bono for the IRS scrutinizing his return to find errors. “F” Cruz & Rubio.

This is 100/10 on the creep level.

The same "conservative" that says the public has a "right" to tax returns would have no compunction about using his family as a stage-managed prop for his faux sincerity and values.

Really? Why would you say that you think he is hiding something? Since it has been filed with the Feds and if it is being audited, he is not obligated to show a return under audit. Issue closed for now.

Really? How, for instance, do you know that Trump's father gave him $200 million. Trump has stated in interviews and in his book that his father gave him $1 million and he paid back the loan to his father. Your statements are not factual. You know it, and that makes you a liar.

Liars are not welcome here. Go over to DU; they welcome that kind of behavior.

Gee what is a tax summary?

In this case, it is the 2-page 1040 itself, with all of the supporting forms and schedules stripped away. You know, the ones that actually give you some insight into a person's actual sources of income.

If Trump released his 1040s, without the hundreds of pages of supporting documentation that the IRS requires, the DemocRats, the media, and the entire Cruzio crew would be screaming bloody murder.

Jane, County Agent Hank Kimball is a liar. He cannot know Trump’s financial position.

What you or I believe is immaterial. The fact is, we don’t know.

When you don’t release the entire document, the implication is that something must not be revealed.

Since Romney put it out there, that there must be a “Bombshell” lurking in Trump’s tax return, the implication is justified in the case of Rubio’s lack of completeness, and Ted’s lateness.

More than one can play this game.

I often wonder if I somehow traveled back in time to Jr. High. This nonsense is so disgusting and so unbecoming in this nation! Trump appears to be the only figure with an IQ. Good grief!

The Cuban club is nothing but immature yapping little Chihuahuas.
I want to yell, “Grow the H*LL UP!” It is positively frightening that these 2 have leadership positions in our government! Worse, they are not alone!

Here’s a question for you, Ted Cruz. WHEN WILL U RELEASE
THOSE SEALED RECORDS! What are you hiding! Never mind. We already know. Momma was a Canadian citizen when she birthed you, therefore unable to confer legal status.

Ironic how Cruz and Rubio - supposedly oh-so-different - seem to be teaming up as a tag team against Trump.

He's under no compunction to release his returns and they're just fishing along with all the rest of them.

If the IRS audits had turned up anything, I have every confidence that it would have been leaked by now.

Yeah that’s the ticket. :-) he is constantly audited and must have a lot to hide. After all he is a new York fat cat.

I've noticed that there are a surprising number of Americans who aren't bright enough to figure out what the IRS is, or how it operates.

“It allows the company to pay off their debt over a longer period of time or at a lower interest rate.”

To be clear, you are saying that Trump has, or will, pay off all the debts he had going into the several bankruptcies?

Interesting.

They are unable (unwilling?) to respond to Trump where it counts - “the battle of ideas.”

So, lacking any ideas the are willing to push to election night, they expose their most private parts of their lives (who reading would openly post their IRS returns?) in hopes of getting the support of the liberal-progressive-socialist cabal of politicians and editors.

To me, it says a lot of who they are. Entirely too much.

It set up all four companies so they could be sold. He sold all four at a profit.
Buy a distressed company. Restructure it so the mess is cleared up and sell at a profit. That’s how big business works. It allows the company to continue in business. Continue to employee people and keeps them from becoming empty buildings and distress communities more and add greatly to unemployment rolls
Think GM and US government on a smaller scale.

In one case he asked the bank that a friend had dealt with to restructure their loan ( the economy had tanked and the owner a friend of Trumps needed a loan at a better rate). The company was still making money but there was a recession So a bit of cash flow issue
The bank refused. So Trump paid cash for the company paper Restructured it with a different bank with the blessing of judge the first bank got their principle but NONE of the excessive interest they were demanding.
He then waited a while and sold the property at a profit.

Get it?

"They are unable (unwilling?) to respond to Trump where it counts - 'the battle of ideas.'"

This may be the most laughable thing ever posted on FR. If Cruz supporters have stopped engaging Trumpanzees on ideas, it's because they've proven to have NO INTEREST in ideas.

Trump's long history of supporting left-wing politicians? "Doesn't matter 'cuz he's a businessman."

Trump's long history of being pro-abortion, anti-gun, Pro-TARP, pro-leftwing judges, etc.? "He changed his mind on all that."

Trump's continued support of socialized medicine? "He never aaid it."

His deplorable lack of understanding understanding and depth on most issues (like not even knowing what "nuclear triad" means)? "That stuff's for fags. He'll hire people who know about it anyway."

Trump has a 60+ year history of being a liberal. It's all on the record. But every single position he has taken is rationalized away as either "He changed his mind," or "He had to do that because he was a businessman." Or when that doesn't work, Trump supporters just flat-out deny that he has said things he has said.

How do you talk about policy positions with people like that?

Even on his signature issue, he supports allowing the illegals to come back if they're "the good ones" (whatever the hell that means). None of it matters to Trump people.

Look, hating Mexicans is fine. I get it. I have nothing against that. But that's really all Trump is about...and it's not enough to support a guy for President.

Hank
