Couldn't Trump make this whole in debt to Russia thing go away

if he would simply release his Tax Returns as promised?

C'mon Donny Short Fingers, let's see the tax returns, that way we'll know that you have no interest in the Soviet Union.

By the way, I think I'm going to go back and start calling Russia the "Soviet Union" or "USSR"

and the fact that he continues to stonewall on release of the taxes is very telling, Is it not? Kind of says it all.

How would his tax return prove he has no ties to Russia? Not everything is a taxable event.

Do you think your tax return could prove you have no ties to Russia? What if I accused you of having an expensive car loan from the Bank of Russia? How would your tax return prove you don't?

What if I accused you of having close family members working directly for Putin hacking the election? How would your tax return prove otherwise?

Not every life event is captured in your tax return.

that he's still hiding his tax returns shows that they will reveal more than enough "taxable events" that are important.

If the guy's a legit businessman who wins billions of dollars, he would not only show his tax returns - he would go on TV screaming "look at my money suckers". He has spend so much time bragging about his wealth and how he's such a good businessman and now he's trying to hide all of the details about the exact same wealth. While you can hide a lot of things from your tax returns (even tRump himself bragged about how he doesn't pay taxes because he's so smart) if there was nothing important in his tax returns, why exactly would he hide them ?

rely heavily on his "sexual perversions" as compromising instead.

And of course reports of his campaign and Russian collusion.

He could be hiding something very personal.
