***Official Political Discussion Thread***

When has political backlash ever stopped him from doing anything? He is a walking political backlash. Republicans and his base would feast on clean tax returns dismissing the allegations against him. If the only thing in there is that he has been inflating his wealth, good for Trump.

We can agree to disagree
 
what, exactly, is too easy?
He is trying to imply that all politicans like to win elections.

When in reality political sciencist pretty mich agree that politicans generally try to keep their campaign promises, especially presidents. It is just the compromises required to government make them have to break promises.

Trump is just a liar. His lying is not in line with most politicans. He is uniquely untruthful

Can you agree that he is lying about his 'excuse'?
Given that Nixon of all people released his tax returns while under audit, something Trump claims he can't do, as well as the IRS stating that there is nothing preventing anyone from doing so?

He just stated that he didn't state that he couldn't. Instead he is saying that lawyers advise you not to release them when you are under audit. So it is a decision he's making on the advice of counsel.

I'm being audited now for two or three years, so I can't do it until the audit is finished, obviously. And I think people would understand that."

Question for Hispanics, Cubans, Puerto Rican’s..in here? How do you they view black men? Is it a certain belief about us? I’m looking at Florida numbers and it’s surprising to me that Gillum didn’t get more votes amongst you guys. I’m very curious. He is very pro immigrant. Just want to informed?

Well he just clarified it. So hopefully that alleviates your concern.

Gotta remember that Hispanic does not mean not white. They think white supremacy will benefit them too.
 
That pos really called a black reporter racist wagging his finger and all for asking him about his documented WS ties...the theater of the absurd gets more absurd by the week

Unironically,that's exactly why so many are ardent supporters. Being an unabashed bigot and wanting to put poc 'back in their place' is their personal joie de vivre
 
Either way his tax returns are going to be examined whether he likes it or not.

There are 3 congressional committees that have the authority to request Trump's tax returns. And they don't need the IRS' consent.
The House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance Committee and the Joint Committee on Taxation all have this authority.
Furthermore, they can conduct an investigation and release it to Congress for public disclosure if they can provide a legitimate justification.

There is previous precedent for such disclosures after the GOP's IRS investigation into claims that the department discriminated against conservative organizations. The Treasury Inspector General concluded that the IRS used inappropriate criteria to identify organizations for review of tax exempt status.
The IG later stated that Republicans instructed the scope of his inquiry to "narrowly focus on Tea Party organizations".

A second Inspector General probe found that the problem was in fact more widespread and that inappropriate criteria were used against both conservative and liberal organizations.

House Republicans requested and disclosed the tax returns of 51 taxpayers as part of their IRS probe. So there is precedent for public disclosure.
