He didn't last time around.
His reason was that he couldn't because he was under audit.
That's just bullshit, of course. The IRS at the time confirmed that being under audit does not prevent anyone from releasing their returns.
But we never did see them, did we.

What illegal things did they find?

Want a hint?
 
This is among the many things that now need to be codified because trump.

Any candidate for President should have to release their tax returns for the last 10 years.
Any candidate must not be a convicted felon.
Any candidate must be less than 65 years old.
 
The IRS saw them.
We assume they did, sure.

What illegal things did they find?
Illegal? We have no idea. According to him, he has been under audit for many years now. We don't know what they might have found.
The point is that he said he would release them the first time he ran, but gave the lie/excuse - that he couldn't because he was under audit.
So, he lied. He could absolutely have released tham at any time.
What is he hiding?

Want a hint?
Are you accusing him of doing something illegal?
I didn't, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Now that his toady is running the IRS, we'll never know.

You seem quite eager to defend him in this.
But ask yourself, would a truly successful businessman lie repeatedly about this?
Only if he had something to hide.
 
“What difference does it make?”

Why do you need to see them?

Is there anything in there that would suddenly make you a Trump supporter?

Do they affect your life in any way?

You already consider Trump a liar so what does it matter what he said? If he showed them would it change your opinion of him in the slightest?

I think you just haven't found anything important to whine about today and this is the best you could come up with.

How very sad.

Snort.

It has been a common practice for presidential candidates.
It communicates transparency - or woudl have.

I've observed trump for many years.
I know what he is, and what he is about.
The answer is no.

Is there anything that would suddenly make you aware that he is a sleazy crook and an awful human being?

Do they affect your life in any way?
Trump has affected my life in one very negative ways. His lies are part of that.

You already consider Trump a liar...
He IS a liar.

...so what does it matter what he said?
I'm just repeating what he promised as a candidate. He lied.

If he showed them would it change your opinion of him in the slightest?
He won't ever.

I think you just haven't found anything important to whine about today and this is the best you could come up with.
I have lost of complaints. I just haven't seen this one talked about for a while.

How very sad.
I appreciate your sympathy. It retouches me deeply. Maybe. Or not.

I don't care if he is a sleazy crook.

I voted him into office to do a job, not be my morality coach.

That's what I have a pastor for.

The IRS can't publicise his returns. Only he can. Why won't he?

Why not all elected politicians, and perhaps those appointed to serve in government positions as well?
Maybe raise the age requirement for President so they won't be a lengthy monetary burden after they leave office.

They were released in 2022. And despite all the hyperbolic handwringing and shouting, there was not a whole lot there and everyone, including you, forgot about it.

I WANT TRUMPS TAX RETURNS!!!

Yup another nothingburger. Rachel Maddow was foaming out the mouth then ..........nothing AGAIN.

Obviously.

You voted for a guy who is an immortal, unethical, and character-free criminal conman to be president. How do you think he’ll do the job?

That's what I have a pastor for.
Lots of church goers support the sleazy conman. I find it very weird.
Does your pastor ever talk about ethics and morals, and why they are important?
It’s amazing how many religious types are ok with a guy who brags about grabbing women’s genitals.
You must really have to twist to make that all work.
Just another thing that makes me appreciate being an atheist.
It’s much simpler.

Oh yeah, he was forced to release six years of returns, 2015 to 2020. His 2020 return was prepared by a different accounting firm from Mazarin, his long time firm. They dropped him as a client and disavowed years of trump financial statements. The company said it could no longer stand by financial statements from June 30, 2011 to June 30, 2020.

I wonder about 2011-2014.

I’m sure it’s all on the up and up, right? Sure.

You do realize that Christians have to live in the real world and often have to deal with immoral people in our daily lives just to function don't you?

I am pretty sure my car mechanic worships Satan but he certainly is a great mechanic. I do not make the clerk at the grocery store pass a litmus test before I let her ring up my bill either.

I like to root for the Minnesota Vikings but since they aren't all Christians what does that mean?

Oh my, am I going to Hell?

Of course, some of the most immoral people I’ve ever known have been Christians. Heck, trump claims to be a Christian.

No, no one is going to hell. People like Trump make me wish there was a hell though.
 
Why do you need to see them?

Seriously? To see what hidden interests and activities he has, that might conflict with his public obligations and other things that could reveal things of interest to voters. You don't know any history of how that need became recognized do you?
 
Cause it's none of your business.
A president's conflicts are every citizen's business. It's also why every president in modern times other than trump has divested themselves of conflicts. Even trump pretended to in a lie his first term, claiming he had a 'blind trust' his kids ran., Ya, they'd hide everything from him.

exactly what forms are going to show you that?
he has numerous LLC's and corporations
what forms on his returns are you most interested in?
do you even know what you are looking for?

What illegal things did you find in Trump's tax returns when you audited them?

Also, are you sure that you have authorization from Donald to disclose his illegal dealings? You know what he does to disloyal people, right? Are you sure you want to humiliate Donald in this way?
