If he leaked his own taxes, it was because... immigration.

Best explanation I've seen yet.

He married Melania in 2005.


Why that matters is that as her sponsor, and joint filer, their joint returns were required to be made available to the federal government in order for her to remain here on a Greencard, and again to get her citizenship. You have to show that you have no problems with the IRS to become naturalized....

...If indeed, those tax returns were leaked by him or a person close to him, the one year in his past you can guarantee he would have dotted his “Is” and crossed his “Ts,” shown a profit and paid taxes would have been in 2005. He was filing jointly with a woman who would not get naturalized as a citizen if she had blemished tax papers. That year had to be perfect.

This one year could likely be the most flattering to him of any year. And since we have seen other years that are the polar opposite of this year, e.g. showing a 1 Billion dollar loss, we can’t just assume they are all this, well, Boy Scout-ishly perfect. In fact, Trump could lay those thoughts to rest by releasing all the years since 2005 up until the ones supposedly still under audit… what are the chances of that?

So, basically, because he married an immigrant and wanted her to be naturalized, he actually paid his taxes.

Funny, huh?
