Something tells me...

if Trump's tax returns are released, that will be the end of his evil reign.
It may also lead to uncovering dirt on many other GOP politicians.

Covering up those taxes seems way too important to the GOPutin.

bombshell in those taxes. Exposing them seems to be making tRump petrified. We will see just how impartial the Not-So-Supreme -Court is once they make their decision on this matter. I still remember the careful consideration Sandra Day-O'Connor put into choosing Dubya for president. She said "I have been friends with the senior Bush members for years. I did not want to see them disappointed" So she upset the entire country, putting a dim witted ass into the WH. What do they care, they have jobs for life.

the more suspicious I become.

WHY is he trying soooooooooo hard to keep them secret? Why does he fight so hard and so ruthlessly to keep them hidden?

Must be pretty doggone incriminating.

As the oppressors have often said - “well, if you’ve done nothing wrong, then you should have nothing to hide.”

So how ‘bout it, donald?

Every action he takes screams that he's hiding something. What he's hiding is most likely criminal. I'm guessing tax evasion and money laundering. We all know he's not worth what he says he is.

If his kids and Malaria found out he was worth nothing they'd probably drop him like a hot potato.

There may be "minor" legal issues, but overall, the big stuff did not make it to the tax returns.
