Author who’s seen Trump’s tax returns says documents would expose lies about his wealth

[DonViejo]

Donald Trump’s unreleased tax returns are a lot like his hair — an elaborately constructed façade that covers over the embarrassing truth.

Timothy O’Brien, who interviewed the real estate developer and reality TV star while researching his 2004 book, “TrumpNation: The Art of Being The Donald,” appeared Wednesday morning on CNN, where he explained what he found after the titular subject of that book sued him for libel.

“During the course of that litigation, my lawyers deposed him about his taxes and we got his tax returns,” O’Brien said. “I think there’s very practical things in those documents that Trump doesn’t want to produce because they’re going to undermine a whole series of claims and remarks he’s made on the campaign trail over the last year.”

O’Brien is prohibited from discussing specifics about Trump’s wealth under terms of the lawsuit settlement, but Trump was repeatedly called out during a two-day deposition for exaggerating his wealth — which the author set at $250 million.

1. I suspected as much

I honestly don't think Trump would care if ties to Russia were shown. He's THAT stupid.

However, his huge EGO would be hurt if his income wasn't as high as he likes people to believe.

2. He'd be deflated in the eyes of the teabaggers

since Hillary has more dough, and maybe even larger hands!

3. Trump's not a successful businessman compared to many

He's always been more about self promotion.
