Just keep hammering away at it. Trump clearly has a lot to hide from the public; the audit is his excuse. This will also reveal his true wealth, something else he doesn't want to seem to disclose.
The presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump continued to refuse to release his tax returns and today declined to reveal his tax rate.
Joining "Good Morning America" this morning, ABC News' George Stephanopoulos asked Trump what his tax rate is, and Trump simply replied, Its none of your business.
You'll see it when I release but I fight very hard to pay as little tax as possible, Trump said.
The billionaire also said he has no foreign bank accounts and emphasized he runs a clean business.
"I dont have Swiss bank accounts," he said. "I dont have offshore accounts."
Trump went to say that he doesnt not believe that voters have a right to see his tax returns before they vote, but that he would gladly made them public once the audit is over.
Stephanopoulos asked Trump: Yes or no, do you believe voters have a right to see your tax returns before they make a final decision?
I don't think they do. But I do say this, I will really gladly give them, Trump answered, adding he has no problem releasing him and he hopes it's before the election.

(474 posts)it'll come out that he's been lying about x, y, & z; but his supporters don't care if he tells the truth or not. we're always a couple of steps behind because we think the truth still matters, and that when something is found to be a lie, it will be discounted

(1,102 posts)They are not an asset & liability statement. They will reveal some information about a person's holdings though. Regardless, he has to be pressured to release the returns, but I suspect he will refuse. My guess is he uses NOLs to avoid paying any taxes at all.
