I never cared much about Donald Trump’s tax returns. Why should I? Why should anybody?
So I pretty much ignored all the hoopla surrounding the release when they were dumped out into the public. Of all the presidents we have had in the past few decades, Trump was the one least likely to use his office to get rich.
He is already rich. So rich that he donated his salary every year that he was president.
All the ridiculous talk of emoluments, schemes to use the office to enrich himself seemed beside the point. Trump loves himself some money and will do ridiculous things to make it, but even if he did use his office to enrich himself he wouldn’t be stupid enough to have it show up on his tax returns.
And sure enough, his returns tell us little except that Trump seems to be the only human being on the planet who didn’t get richer while he was president. He lost over a billion dollars of net worth.
As with most Trump controversies, it was much ado about nothing. Nothing bad was done by Trump, and while lots of commentators are cherry picking years when Trump paid little in taxes due to business losses, they ignore the fact that over his presidency he paid a million dollars in taxes.

One of the things that is easy to notice is that every accusation that is hurled by the Left at a Republican is a projection of their own greed and malfeasance. Elites often get where they are through some grift or another, they use their own experience to hurl invective at their opponent. It’s a rare Leftist who gets rich through starting and running a business, so perhaps they genuinely cannot comprehend making money legitimately.

I am not that interested in seeing their tax returns. I am sure their accountants are as good at manipulating numbers as well as Trump’s. What I would really like to see is somebody doing a correlation between the investments of politicians and the legislation they write and have access to.
That would be a great project for a forensic accountant.
Commentary:
Even while mildly criticizing the Maoist Elitist left, the Never-Trumpers have to get their “orangemanbad” sentences into anything they say on the subject.
Trump was fine before he announced his campaign in 2015. Democrats wanted him at their parties. They wanted to play at his golf courses. They wanted to stay at his hotels. They gave him awards for his work with the minority community. It was only when he bucked and they realized he had no bridle or reins to allow them to control him did they become unglued. THEN Trump became “controversial”, “divisive” and persona non grata. The democrats and the media piled all the baggage they could onto Trump, and then exclaimed, “You can’t elect him! He has all that baggage!”.
They have done the same to every GOP candidate since as far back as I can remember, and they will do it again in the future. Many conservatives fall for it every damn time!
Democrats deny that Trump gave his presidential salary to charity each year.
Zero INCOME because he GAVE HIS INCOME AS PRESIDENT AWAY.
Since Maoist/DSA Democrats have focused on Trump's tax returns, perhaps the tax returns of every member of Congress as well as the president and vice president should be easily accessible on a website.
It is something that is foreign to the LEFT...IT’S THE TRUTH!!!!
Transparency/Sunlight I am told is the best disinfectant.
Biden needs to go back into the Obama years when he was using his son to fraud for the Ukraine and reveal his Corporate tax returns too.
