Anyone interested in learning more about the great Trump tax fiasco, see here: It is apparently a simple matter of law, but given this is America it will likely be years in the system and end up in the Supreme court. I do so wonder what it is in Trump's tax returns that he so desperately wants to keep a secret. Smells a bit fishy, eh. If your finances/taxes are above board, why refuse to release them exactly? That doesnt do much to show his detractors that he is not a crook. I am often mystified why he doesn't allow this. That said I'd also like to see Nancy Pelosi's tax returns as well, someone who's earning approx 200K a year & is worth in the region of 150/200 M has to be a shady scumbag as well.

As I thought. You are just another sore loser liberal who wants to stamp his feet and throw his toys around because Hillary lost. You think Trump is dirty. Can he be any lower than the level that your side is prepared to stoop to? Sat through the whole thing then, Hrolf? Let’s see his taxes if he’s not dirty. I do indeed believe he is as bent as a 9 bob note. I was no huge fan if Hillary but compared to Trump I would take pretty much anyone. What is your opinion on why he is the first president since Nixon to not show his tax returns?
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

Is there any legal requirement for him to show them?

I think that when it comes to criticising political leaders whenever the focus of the debate continually moves into the personal then the credibility of the criticism is lost to the rational observer. It's true of criticism of any politician or individual, whether I'm generally for them or not. I don't think it's wrong to point out where a politician lies or is hypocritical or immoral even. However, when you look at the hyper emotional polemics on frequent display regarding Trump it's going to attract its own form of criticism.

Trump denies climate change, this does and will affect many many people in a very negative way, for years to come. Trump basically gave Putin a pass on election interference, that affects everyone here and undermines democracy. His verbal diarrhea and chaotic leadership dominates the news cycle, pretty annoying. Friends of mine had a visa delayed to come here due to his government shutdown, which meant we all had to change our plans. This also closes national parks, govt offices and museums and such, not to mention delaying people’s tax returns this year, including mine. TDS is real but it is down to Trump, not the person displaying the symptoms. He is a train wreck of a president, the worst there ever was or ever will be.

A friend pointed me to a book called the Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein. I have just finished it and also watched the documentary on Youtube: I cannot recommend it highly enough as it is an exceptional narrative of the past 50 years of politics and sheds a lot of light on the actions of the main political actors of that and this period. It's observations and assertions are readily applied to a lot of the agendas we see today from Trumps Wall to Brexit, Israel and continuing tensions around the world. I implore everyone to at least watch the documentary which is only an hour and a bit. It will give you another perspective with which to test the actions of the current leaders. I also see some comments about Thatcher in this thread. I am of an age where I was well aware of her, but too young to appreciate her actions. Now, I see her and her methods and objectives in a much more polarised light. Please watch as it is an important piece of work despite it being over a decade old. I would love to hear what others think of it. Edited by Badadmcmad (08 Apr 2019 7.27pm)

Trump denying whatever won't make the slightest difference to anything. In the meantime there have recently been some very interesting technological developments. Originally posted by Maine Eagle

Not sure you can talk too much over 'undermining democracy' when you have been fighting against leaving the EU after a majority voted for it.....That's pretty much the definition of it by resisting what the majority voted for.

Have you turned into Mystic Meg or something? He has a good chance of re-election and is at around 44/43 percent so if he's the worst president ever then that's quite a difference between how you perceive things and the majority outside your bubble perceive them.

And yet there’s every chance he’ll win next time as well. That’s something to look forward to.

Trump should not fail to win again next time. He only has to ensure that he gets less votes than his opponent, again, and it will be a formality.
