If And When Trump's Current Taxes Become Public......

at the request of the House Dem Committee - will they have the same impact if the NYT article about his past taxes 1984 to 1995 hadn't been published?

Will the American People - having been exposed to his great losses $1 Billion and the reasons he lost so much - really care about any additional news about his more current taxes?

Has this whole 'Trump Taxes' thing just become normalized?

Will the American People be desensitized to any release of additional info? Does the NYT article maybe help Trump a bit?

Is anyone surprised that Trump didn't have a more violent tweet reaction to the NYT article? Didn't we all think he'd go ballistic today?

They are to busy trying to keep their heads above water, take care of their kids and elderly parents to worry about this guys latest con. In many ways even those of us who do pay attention have a lower bar than we used to have for the Presidency.

when she challenged him about paying taxes, "that makes me smart."

I think he's proud of the fact that he went for so long without paying any taxes. If those losses are fraudulent, he doesn't care. As long as the IRS doesn't charge him with any wrongdoing. He isn't happy that the news paints him as a man with no money, but his tepid (for him) twitter response was what I would have expected.

After all his stonewalling about releasing his taxes since he entered the primary race back in 2015-6?

I would have probably expected him to react more strongly. With this man back is front, up is down, wrong is right.
