If you read the articles, he WASN'T audited for his returns while he was President. And from what has been presented, all presidents and vice presidents are supposed to have their returns audited while in office.
I think it says the IRS audited them and didn't turn them over to the Ways and Means Committee Edit: he can't stop audits
Regardless they have his tax returns. That's not his fault but I think you're wrong anyway. The issue is not audits, it's The Ways and Means Committee getting them and releasing them to the public
why shouldn’t public officials be required to be transparent and disclose their tax returns (and possibly other info) so that the voting public can assess whether they have financial ties to anything that could cause them to be influenced or biased? it is supposed to be a position to serve the people. So be honest and disclose information so people can cast an educated vote
what’s wrong with releasing them to the public. Every other president in history has done so. Trump refused. Now he is being held to the same standards. I mean it is only the most powerful position in the world.
I don't know why he doesn't want people to know and I don't care. He pays his taxes, he's rich. What more do I need to know? As far as your concern about what he maybe influenced by, I just don't think that is an issue that he could hide, questionable income sources. It would come to light. But that's just me. I don't think Trump has done anything unique in terms of benefitting anyone in particular. He is just a typical trickle down voodoo economics idiot
PGab lacks the mental capacity to understand that Trump doesn’t want people to know that Many of his businesses are not profitable, as evidenced by his the net operating loss carry forward He debtors include Russian oligarch, Chinese banks/Co He had loan $$$, in the millions, to his adult children. They’re actually gifts, meaning tax liability for all parties involved Cash donation, as reported in the tax returns, could be cross-checked w the recipients Etc
This is totally ass backward. Ok, you don’t care and you don’t want to know. Fine that’s you. Let me ask you this - Why NOT require presidents to disclose their taxes? And congressmen and women? They want our vote, they want our trust. Fine, disclose so people can see what your finances are about. If you don’t have anything shady to hide, shouldn’t be a problem. If you do have problems, we are entitled to know. We should get to know if you are a tax cheat or not. We should get to know if you lie about how rich and successful a businessman you are, right? Explain what’s the downside of requiring disclosure? I can’t fathom that you are this obtuse that you can’t see how disclosure is to the benefit of the voting public.
First...I never said he "can't stop audits". You can read this (one of many articles) indicating the IRS did not audit Trump's taxes the years he was President. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/dec/21/irs-donald-trump-tax-audit-failure Here is the first paragraph: US tax authorities failed to audit Donald Trump for two years while he was in the White House, Democratic lawmakers said, despite a program that makes tax review of sitting presidents compulsory.
His businesses aren't profitable? So what? He has borrowed from Russian oligarchs? No this a stupid conspiracy theory https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/13/...evidence-that-trump-owes-money-to-russia.html You are still sadly claiming Russia colluded with Trump. Let it go I understand Trump was building up his reputation to get votes. There is nothing illegal about that and it's not a issue the IRS is in charge of
Where is Trump at fault because the IRS didn't do the audit? Why do his returns need to be made public because the IRS didn't do the audits?
Because it's none of your business. He is paying his taxes. If he weren't that would be an issue. You as a voter have every right to not vote for him for not making his tax returns available but no one should be compelled to.
You asked "as president were his tax returns audited" I posted that his tax returns were not audited for the years he was President while he was President. You then replied "I think it says the IRS audited them and didn't turn them over to the Ways and Means Committee" I then responded with a link (I could have cited many) showing that it didn't happen. Nothing more...I simply showed you the proof where, while Trump was President, the IRS did not audit those years of his returns, even though it is compulsory. I didn't lay blame with Trump. I didn't do anything other than provide factual information.
I think Trump is a con, a criminal, a traitor, seditionist, and a fraud. I think he would sell our nation's Top secrets to the highest bidder if it got him a real estate deal, power, or money. You can keep believing that criminal did nothing wrong, but it doesn't mean that scumbag is innocent. Lies, lies, lies, are all he knows how to spurt out his mouth.
