We have a new President that is trying aggressively to promote an agenda that we largely support......and it would be helpful to gouge him in the eye over tax returns at this point?

For 40 years your presidents have been volunteering their tax returns. If nothing else it gives the image of coming clean. It may also give a peek as to whether or not there are any conflicts of interest. With business holdings that Trump must have why would you not want to have some small access to see if things are generally on the up and up? Or if he's your guy and you "largely support" his agenda then he gets a free pass?

Does he show his personal 1040 only? Or does he show us the 200+ separate tax returns from his individual corporations?

As crazy as sh*t has gotten down here it is almost an absolute that the media would totally misrepresent his tax returns. I say he's released enough information already. We're pretty sure he actually attended the colleges he's claimed.

I find it very sad that by day two of a new gov't the highest standard the supporters can hold their party to is the lousy track record of the previous gov't. Totally shameful.

It isn't mostly his supporters who are doing the holding to a different standard, it is the media.. most supporters know Obama did a horrible job. for now all we can do is support Trump and pray he does a better job.


The time for criticism will soon come.. but shouldn't we wait UNTIL he does something we should be critical of?

care to explain how that is shameful?

I hope he does such a great job as to get a well deserved second term. I really do. But if you can't see where you could be critical of Trumps words and actions to this point then you have proven my point for me.

I doubt you could really call me a Trump supporter.. I have and will continue to disagree with him and hope on the important issues the press actually makes a big deal over them... BUT this was about his tax return, the 104 page financial disclosure is enough. So saying I or thinking I don't get it over one issue the press thinks is an issue is wrong.

I would prefer to pick and choose my battles,, AND wait for Trump to actually do something that I feel is important before I unload on him again.. If waiting to judge a person's actions is shameful, then so be it,,
