    Keep in mind that his personal tax return is not necessarily going to show all his business and company assets.

      Or assets abroad... Until that income hits US shores, it's not taxable - and probably not reportable, either.

What you want are Trump's financial disclosure statements which he has dutifully submitted every year as required by law since he announced his candidacy. They're also public record, so go take a look at them, if you really care that much.
        It's tax returns and 'tax information.' And if they don't disclose that much, why is he fighting so mightily to keep from releasing them?

          And if Trump says it, that's good enough for me!

            It's been pretty well documented that he is a fraud and a crook, based on the financial records of his sister, a federal Judge, which are public record. And the racist part, well, there's the long-standing recurrent pattern throughout his entire adult life, if that's what you mean...

              You do realize that's a blatant falsehood. If it were in fact 'well documented' then there would be no issue with prosecution, indictment or impeachment. None of which have - or are likely to - occurred.

                Because it drives liberals nuts.

                        My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                        If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                        This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                          California passing a law forcing candidates to release their private tax information is a violation of the 4th amendment and 26 USC 6103 and will be struck down.

                          They tried it two years ago and Governor Brown vetoed it because it was unconstitutional. Newsom doesn't seem to have the sense that Brown did.
