Petition Demanding Donald Trump Release His Tax Returns Breaks White House Record

[mobeau69]

Source: The Huffington Post

WASHINGTON ― A petition on the White House website asking President Donald Trump to release information about his tax returns has now received more signatures than any other petition in the system’s five-year history.

As of Thursday afternoon, the petition had over 368,000 signatures, surpassing the previous record of 367,180. The previous record-holder called for the United States government to “legally recognize the Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group.”

Trump has kept in place former President Barack Obama’s online petition system, which was created in 2011 to increase accessibility to government. The site also still states that a petition with at least 100,000 signatures will get an official response.

A spokesman for the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the petition.

[Doreen]

but he is a dictator and what dictator ever does what is right for the people. It will never happen.

19. Transparency. We have it. They don't.

Lock them up!

[red dog 1]

20. K&R...Thanks for posting

It will probably hit 375,000 signatures later today
Unless Twitler takes it down, it's supposed to remain there until Feb. 17, which means it will likely get over a million signatures.

But will he ever release his tax returns?
I don't think so.

[mobeau69]

21. He can't.

They are the smoking gun. Guaranfuckingtee it.

[red dog 1]

27. I agree!

It'll never happen...Never!

23. WE THE PEOPLE means *NOTHING* to these repuke assholes

[MontanaMama]

24. Signed that bad boy!

BAM! The goods are in those tax returns.

There's a twitter rumor rolling around that Wikileaks will release his taxes. Sure they will...redacted, washed and amended up the wazoo.

[3_Limes]

34. They've publicly asked to have the documents forwarded to them

so that they can post them. But they don't have them currently, so the rumor that they'd post them is definitely just a rumor.

(Seems more like a desperate grasp at relevance than any sincere desire to serve the public. But that's another conversation.)

[Victor_c3]

25. 372,000 last I checked

I'd love to see how many it's going to get after the full 30 days.

[red dog 1]

28. Me too!

If it got 372,000 after only 6 days...it's bound to get over a million before it's over
(Unless Twitler takes it down before then)

[FailureToCommunicate]

30. Signed. 372,812... and counting.

32. I thought he already said That he was not going to do it.

Per KellyAnne Conlady.

[randome]

35. I remember he once said that only the media was worried about his tax returns.

He is wrong about everything.

39. the links to view 'petitions with updates is broken' this is another republican scam.

Here is the link in Obamas ARCHIVIES https://petitions.obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/


, I very much doubt Republicans will use Obama's petition system on republicans white house website- except to scam 'the people'.
