The big question is, since every president since Jimmy Carter, and even the vast majority of major party candidates, have released at least one tax form to the public, I have to ask: WHAT WAS THE FUCKING PROBLEM?
Especially given that he gave the same old "I'm being audited" excuse (and didn't even say there was no point in doing so, which would be a reasonable point) that did not hold up at all, if they revealed this little dirt, what was the point in being so reluctant?
Remember when Romney released his and was only paying like 15% or something? That's what the problem was. Trump probably had losses offsetting his recent income and knew that it was better to release nothing, than to release something showing him paying a low effective rate.
