Sarah Sanders: Congress not 'smart enough' to look through Trump's taxes

https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/438809-sanders-congress-not-smart-enough-to-look-through-trumps-taxes

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Sunday that she doesn't think members of Congress are "smart enough" to look through President Trump's tax returns.

"Frankly I don’t think Congress — particularly not this group of congressmen and women — are smart enough to look through the thousands of pages that I would assume that President Trump’s taxes will be," she said on "Fox News Sunday."

"My guess is that most of them don’t do their own taxes and I certainly don’t trust them to look through the decades of success that the president has and determine anything," Sanders continued.

Sanders also said that Democrats are taking a "dangerous, dangerous road" in asking for Trump's tax returns.

How many thousands, Sarah? I guess it never occurred to her that Congress can simple hire a certified public accountant firm, who has employees to get a review done. When it comes to reasoning, doesn't look like that is Sarah's strong suit.

Maybe she doesn't understand them: decades of success? The wanker had six bankruptcies! And really, I don't expect there are "thousands of pages". How many pages does it take to say "I'm broke"?

She is so full of shit that there will soon be no sanitary facilities yet built that can handle hers.

And what about that retirement she announced last year, as soon as a successor could be found?

(Not that I blame any potential successor for not wishing to be found!)

should never work again once this debacle is finished. Btw, the 'they're not smart enough' was voice by Donnie Jr early in the Trumpster's Reign of Ridiculousness. In that case, Donnie was referring to the American electorate.

Liars and pocket protectors, all of them!

24. Assuming the Taxes Do Not Straightforwardly Prove Trump Is a Billionaire
Sun Apr 14, 2019, 02:59 PM

Based on what Sarah Huckabee Sanders is saying I assume Donald Trump's taxes do not straightforwardly prove that he is a billionaire. Why would Democrats, or anyone else have to be smart in order to read his tax returns if he was actually a billionaire? I think Team Trump is going to claim that Trump is indeed a billionaire, but the Democrats and anyone who claims the tax returns show that he is not a billionaire just do not understand how to read tax returns.
