“I think the answer, or at least a pretty big part of it, is green-eyed jealousy. They’re salivating to rifle through Trump’s finances.”
I think you are correct. But again, the audit part is just an excuse. He doesn’t want to release them and there are many reasons why. He doesn’t want people looking through his businesses, he doesn’t want people to be jealous of the big numbers. All that is probably true, but why does he use the audit excuse?
None of those reasons have anything to do with being audited.
You may be right. I don’t know. But Trump is the one in the arena, standing up to the onslaught, not me. So....far be it from ME to start second-guessing him.
