Donald Trump claims protests demanding he publish tax returns were paid for

Donald Trump claims protests demanding he publish tax returns were paid for
'Someone should look into who paid for the small organised rallies yesterday. The election is over!' says President
Katie Forster


Donald Trump has accused protesters who took to the streets of cities across the US to demand he publish his tax returns of being part of an organized conspiracy paid for by persons unknown.

The billionaire said his election as President had made the release of his tax details irrelevant, writing on Twitter: “Someone should look into who paid for the small organized rallies yesterday. The election is over!

"I did what was an almost an impossible thing to do for a Republican – easily won the Electoral College! Now tax returns are brought up again?" he added, highlighting the issue to his 28 million followers.

Recent polls show 74 per cent of Americans want Mr Trump to release his tax returns. Every president since Richard Nixon has made theirs publicly available, but Mr Trump has repeatedly refused to do so.

for protesting. Heck, each time I fax, email or call my senators or congresswoman, they pay me $100.

will be the fodder for some enlightening books on his astonishing and revolutionary presidency. Revolutionary in the overturning of constitutional government.
