Howard Stern to Joe Biden: Make Trump tax forms his 'ticket' to debate Biden

Source: New York Daily News

If Howard Stern were running against President Trump and leading in the polls — as challenger Joe Biden is — he would make Trump finally show his tax returns.

“I don’t know what Biden’s tactics are, but I would have said, I think at this point Trump probably needs the debate more than Biden,” Stern said on his SIRIUSXM show Monday. “If I was running the Biden campaign I would have said 'Listen, you want a debate, I’ll give you as many debates as you want. First, you come in and you show me your tax returns. That’s your ticket... bring ‘em.”

According to Stern, the president’s controversial tax forms could make the upcoming trio of debates, which begin Tuesday, irrelevant.

“Then Biden wouldn’t even have to debate,” he said.

I don't think that's going to happen but he raises a good point.

However I think Chump will do so badly on the first debate that he'll cancel the other two. He'll come up with some lame excuse, making it look like he's the "winner." But it will be him backing out, and he'll be doing us all a favor.

Joe will be prepared either way.




Lock him up.

Longest fucking audit in history, Donny. There's no law saying he can't show his tax returns if he's being audited either.

Lock him up.

Twitter text: Trump could easily prove the NYT story is a hoax. Just show his taxes. Of course he won’t do it because he’s a Lying Criminal. Not to mention a compromised National Security threat and a pathetic excuse for a human being.

it is the same as saying I cant release them on a day that ends with a Y . Just tell the truth, I have no intention of releasing them unless forced to do so.

Trump doesn't want these debates. How could he? He would decline.

Sorry, but Howard Stern has about as much expertise in these matters as a failed real estate developer/reality TV star.

He has been interviewed on his show for many years. Howard knows he is scum and he endorsed Hillary in 2016. I would listen to Howard because he knows the enemy.

Agree to ONE debate! (Joe would stand a fair chance of winning it, IMHO) Subsequent debates would be predicated on ShitMonkey producing his tax returns for ten years.

Donny would need the re-match a lot more than Joe would. If he wanted/needed it badly enough, he'd have to cough 'em up. He never would, of course, so he's SOL on debates.

I mean, who could trust anything that White House produces nowadays.

This is a terrible idea.

He should walk over to where Chris Wallace is and set the box on his table. The say "Here's my taxes for ten years."

Only Chump can do that. What the NYT obtained - legally - is the financial information that's contained on the documents. So it's still up to Chump to keep his campaign promise and release the documents like every other candidate has done for the last 50+ years.

...And all Trump would have to do is produce a single year of returns in which he paid any kind of taxes at all to completely discredit it yet all he does is blabber about "fake news", tells you all you need to know.
