All presidential candidates, nominees, are required to show their taxes. Trump would have never run for president if that law existed.
He learned it was not required and he simple said , I'm being audited, he lied.. The rest is history.

(14,144 posts)Roy Cohn, who daddy Fred tDUMP handsomely rewarded to be his son's mentor, taught him well.
Roy Cohn was the lawyer the Mafia Dons and Crime Bosses sought out when criminal legal problems came kicking in their doors.
tRUMP is a viper when it comes to litigation.
Roy Cohn taught him all he knows. Making "The Donald" into the arrogant piece of shit we are forced to deal with today, day in and day out.
Most sane people shy away from legal entanglements. But tRUMP thrives upon protracted litigation. It boosts and inflates his ego to pull yet another fast one on litigants, Prosecutors, and the courts. Often tRUMP will just quietly just bribe an official to make his problems magically go away.
Doing all this while leaving his legal adversaries in a cloud of dust caused by his speeding away limousines,, helicopters, and private jets.
He is laughing his ass off as he yet chalks up his next win. As he gleefully further hones his shyster-ing skills so he can extort, or commit fraud against, or royally rip off his next innocent mark and/or unsophisticated victim.

(5,268 posts)because he had claimed so much in business losses due to his bankruptcies. We did find that out before 2016 election and later his most recent returns came to light showing that in recent years he paid only $700 to $1000 per year and got even more voters than in 2016.
Just like they didn't care he molested women and defrauded people with the fake Trump University and was banned from setting up another charitable foundation due to misuse of funds from the Trump Foundation.
