Those wanting to see his taxes and financial entanglements know there is something he is hiding and probably know what and where to look. Imagine the peril if it were not a Narcissist braggart who was recruited by Russia. Someone so profoundly ignorant that he shows the world he has something to hide by his rhetoric clearly contrary to the United States national interests. Trump would be a terrible poker player he shows his hand constantly. No matter he is about to be caught Trump served his Russian handlers well merely with the chaos he creates.

If Trump is a traitor God forbid we experience one that can manage his mouth and ego.

Correct. TwilightZone Aug 2019 #31
