Trump: ‘Maybe I’ll Release’ Tax Returns After Leaving White House
NBC News ^ | May 11, 2017 | by ERIK ORTIZ

President Donald Trump now says he's open to releasing his tax returns — after he leaves office.

When asked in an interview published Thursday by The Economist, Trump found no reason to make his tax returns public even if it means Democrats would get on board with his tax plan — a bare bones version of which was unveiled last month.

"I doubt it. Because they're not going to … nobody cares about my tax return except for the reporters," Trump said. "Oh, at some point I'll release them. Maybe I'll release them after I'm finished because I'm very proud of them actually. I did a good job."

Yup, and that is the point that everyone should recognize.

Why not ask the Russians for Trumps’ tax returns, right leftists/all other anti-Trump people?

Has the IRS handcuffed him yet for his returns?

Exactly. You know and I know (and everybody knows) that if there was anything amiss about Trump's tax returns, the IRS would have come down on him like a ton of bricks.

The IRS loves making examples of rich celebrities who don't pay their taxes. Just ask Leona Helmsley.

I’ve got a couple of mind numb nephews who think Trumps tax return is the biggest scandal in American history.

Check that.

The biggest scandal in the entire the history of mankind. And yes, they think Maxine Waters and the other drooling democrats will either force Trump to release his taxes or courts will force the release.

Trump releasing his voluminous tax returns would be treated by the old stream media in the same manner that an anti-theist would treat a good Bible translation. He would take out some line completely out of context, and make it a headline, saying, “See? See? What an evil fraud!”

I don’t know if his tax returns are exactly pearls, but even if they are cubic zirconium, they shouldn’t be cast before swine.

Reminds me if the Army; General Schwarzkopf made a rule of no more arbitrary barracks room inspections in Europe "unless permission was given" because married soldiers lived out of barracks and didn't have to do that.

I had a dumb ol' sergeant for a while who always wanted to inspect my room (so he could harass me) but I wouldn't give him permission which frustrated him.

Well, a couple weeks before getting out the supply guy wanted some of my furniture so I let him have it all, moved out and buffed the floor. Empty shiny room. Next day I was walking past with Sergeant Bozo and had a thought.

"Hey, Sergeant you want to inspect my room? Here's the key."

His face lit up with joy and he rushed to open the door. Then I got to see his face go from shock to disappointment.

IS he among those (we know some) who are certain he will be out of office sometime in June?

As of July 1st, I intend to start asking them about that.

It’s none of their business, Donald. They just want to turn it into hate based on his wealth.

The only thing these morons deserve from President Trump is the one finger salute.

If he were to give them such, his approval ratings would shoot through the roof.
