    It's a BS document written to inflate Trump's ego. It doesn't disclose a lot of the details that tax returns would which is obviously why he's not releasing his taxes because there's something in there that he doesn't want people to see (probably that he's been running all his businesses at a loss since 2008 and that doesn't play into his egoistic fantasy of being a 'business genius'), and it plays fast and lose with the definitions of terms - e.g. whoever filled it out has chosen to report gross income rather than profit, so it looks like all the businesses are doing really well when actually if you compare them to publicly available data (the financial information for Trump's 3 British golf courses are publicly available under UK and Irish law) you can see those three businesses are running at massive losses and that the financial disclosure form has reported gross income not profit.

      Breaking news today... yet another sex scandal broke for Bill O'Reilly. Apparently in the meantime the advertiser boycott of his show has been really hurting Fox, and sources are reporting that the Murdoch sons want him out and exit talks are beginning.

        Roger Ailes and now Bill O'Reilly! What a sleazy culture of lies and deception has existed at Fox along with it's biased faux news. Does one expect more from Conservatives? Look at the genital-grabbing moral reprobate who leads them.

          Considering the scandals going on at ground zero for liberal news bias, the New York Times, for discrimination based on age, sex as well as race, what should we conclude about them aside from their being a bunch of hypocrites?

          And you do know that "faux" rhymes with crow so those who think they're being clever with using "faux news" are doing so based upon ignorance -- they don't know how to pronounce the word.

            Common garden variety political bias and standard gender bias at the New York Times as compared to overt Trumpian-level lies and sexual harassment scandals at Fox! There's no comparison.

                And the award for the most tax sex and property scandals goes to:
                The Democrats, Republicans and all Third Parties.

                If you were expecting any different you're very naive and apparently have NEVER looked at any president since George Washington. Or read political history since 1789.

                        One of those faces of Fox nobody could pick out of a line up if they had to.

                          Beside the point! It's the hypocrisy. Fox News positioned itself as the champion of Conservative moral values and yet two of it's leading figures, Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly, have been forced out in the wake of numerous sexual harassment scandals.

                            By firing them, they are upholding those values. If they excused them, then you would have a point.

                              Can you please show where they advertised themselves as such?
                              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                                No. It is not "beside the point!" since your point was

                                And yet one of these "face[s] of Fox" could walk past a hundred people without a single one recognizing him.

                                Further, as you noted, they "have been forced out" because of their behavior. They were held accountable. Hardly what constitutes "hypocrisy" wouldn't you agree? In stark contrast the liberals spent a decade excusing such behavior as none of our business and don't like holding hardly anyone accountable for their actions.
