3. Its funny-looking: Donny listed charitable gifts to strippers, the Sons of the Confederacy or has more dependents than he's admitted to before.

Trumps' MysteryTax Return

I dunno about you but I think he's embarrassed about something. Nothing illegal, just morally Republican.

You can still edit the subject line of this thread for grammar - please?

I was just going to post about this subject - I'll vote if you fix the grammar/spelling. 8-)

I changed it but there's no repairing bad eyesight. Cross your eyes a little and it all looks fine.

Thanks, it could be (was) worse, this I can tolerate.

I'd already voted but after reflection have changed it to some of each. He's clearly a pathological liar and narcissist so I'm thinking a huge inflation of income has been perpetrated in his marketing over real wealth. I'm guessing his charitable contributions are mostly in kind (free golf, resort stays, etc.) than capital donations to nonprofits serving the public interest, etc.

You forgot a couple other options:
  He'll show them to us after Obama shows us his real birth certificate.
  He'll show them to us after Hilary shows us all her e-mails.
  He's Donald Trump — he don't need to show us no steenkeeng tax returns!
  He'll show them to us soon.  And they're going to be HUUGE!  And we're going to love them!

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

To those I would add possibly some bad business decisions showing losses that make him look like something less than The Super Businessman he likes to play on TV, and also maybe some charitable contributions to organizations that he would now find politically inconvenient...

Like Planned Parenthood...

Of one thing we can be absolutely certain ...

If those returns backed up his "The Incredible Fantastic Me" narrative, they would have been released a looong time ago...
