1. so much for the 'audit' excuse

...Jr. admits the obvious.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. 1) Worth much less, 2) Russian oligarch loans, 3) No charity donations, 4) Bribes, 5) non-payments.

They used to say 2,000 page return. Now 12,000. One of those is a lie or both.

He has so much to hide.

Yes, his crimes and lies and bribes and mis-use of his Foundation and dealing under the table would detract from his message. Which would be the right thing because he has so much to hide.

7. Or "charity donations" that can easily be proven false.

3. Sort of like Trump creating medically qualified physicians out of every alt-right

& media schmuck, with His dogwhistle lies about HRC's health. Right?

4. We can handle 12000 pages dude

We can digitize it pretty fast unless you provide a file already like that.

Then we can get into all the lies and expose the undoubted fraud.

How you can pretend that this excuse is in any way credible is amazing.

But you are a trump.

Tub of lard.

5. Trump has no excuse to hide his return.

If he can't handle the transparency, he does not belong in the presidential race.

6. Trump is a detraction.

Soon to be a footnote.

Keep fighting the stupid fight there Trumpies.
I'm looking forward to the day we don't have
to suffer your insufferability any longer
when we vote you away.

8. We are just too dumb to understand

how the rich get richer. What a condescending little creep.

[Ilsa]

9. " Just listen to what Daddy says and ignore those pesky facts." nt

10. Hiding his connections to foreign governments, tax evasion, and really bad guys

He's probably incahoots with every scoundrel he could find. The taxes will reveal that.

11. So, the Trump version of Ann Romney's belief that we were so lucky that Mitt condescended to run.
