You have to go even further back to find a POTUS before Trump that wasn't either a previous elected official of some sort or a military background. Is that now a big deal?

Trump was an outsider who broke innumerable precedents to get elected in the first place. Why tax returns as the major issue of contention?

It's laughable watching the left squirm to nail Trump.

I believe Harding was a businessman like Trump with no political office experience.


Trump is the 2nd businessman elected without any prior office experience.

That’s a reasonable point of view. I’d argue that’s a preference that should be expressed at the voting booth, it shouldn’t be forced by Congress.

Trump does have good personal reasons for not disclosing his returns. Being under audit is not one of them. Having every wannabe forensic accountant poring over his very complicated tax returns is. You’re not going to find any major league businessman who would want his tax returns made public, including ones who have done their very best to comply with tax laws.

Compromise. Forget all of his past returns. Lets see the ones for while he is in office. Including Melania, Jared and Ivanka since the Royal Family is sucking government tit

Even Harding served several political positions from State Senator through US Senator from Ohio.

While largely a businessman, he did have elections and served numerous positions prior to POTUS.

The whole tax thing is bullshit. Trump has changed numerous other precedents, but tax returns remain the go to for the libs. I continue to laugh.
