Petition Demanding Donald Trump Release His Tax Returns Breaks White House Record

a reply to: Krazysh0t

That's around .1% of the population, not necessarily "the American people".

Obama had Birthers and Trump has Taxers.

Trump should ignore and stall as much as Obama did

Executive prilidge. Just claim that and its done.

Hah! Sadly, Executive privilege doesn't provide any cover from ethics violations.

HE released the information he was told to release. the tax returns were not required. SO actually this isnt a ethics violation. Its a stupid tradition and he didnt follow it.

a reply to: yuppa

Huh... ethics violations...

Those are decided upon by the same ethics committee which called his handover to his children entirely inadequate, are they not?

a reply to: yuppa

It *might* be an ethics violation *if* there is any truth to the conjecture/ rumor that he obtained a billion dollars or more in financing from Russian oligarchs, especially in light of the *accusation* that the Russian government meddled in the U.S. election process.

This isn't a game. None of us get to hand-wave everything our team does, and micro-focus on everything the other team does.

Unless, of course, a large group of people are simply so fed up with their own lives that they sent a wrecking ball to the white house, just to watch it crumble and fail, right?

That's the crazy thing about the law.

It operates on a system of precedent. The only way to satisfy 200 years of precedent is to either sell off his business holdings/ assets or place them in a completely blind trust.

The law doesn't change because one guy says it should.

It only became a "stupid tradition" when Trump said he didn't want to comply.

The petition for President Trump to divest of his business associations has more signatures. Signed by the same .1% crowd. Correctly ignored by an administration who's working overtime to fulfill campaign promises.

He could release the tax papers in pdf format.

Then people can claim they're fake !!

Just like "laws" became suggestions and "perjury" became mis-remembering and "tier one classified info" became yoga emails For Clinton, but let's keep looking at trumps taxes.

a reply to: Krazysh0t

Did you miss the part of the post that referenced dishonesty and unacceptable???
I dont give a CRAP about his taxes.

By your online petition neither do an overwhelming majority of americans.
300 mill vs 300k

This thread isn't about Hillary Clinton, so leave your "what about Hillary" deflection at the door please.

a reply to: shooterbrody

I certainly got how you can't accept that this is a big deal among many Americans.

yep you are right this is what you made the thread about

TextLooks like the American people DO want to see Trump's taxes despite his insistence that we don't.

basic math tells us this is a lie

a reply to: shooterbrody

I get it. You don't believe in anything that Trump doesn't support, because apparently the 380,000 people who signed that petition aren't Americans.

a reply to: Krazysh0t

No comment on the math associated with your online petition?

acceptable answers would be :
some americans
a group of americans
a small minority of americans


The statement "the american people want" ,associated with this petition, is a lie.
