What could force Trump to release his tax returns???? [View all]

If, indeed, he paid no taxes for years, and feared this revelation could weaken his support among many who consider themselves "good tax paying citizens," I don't think any amount of pressure could make him cough them up.

Unless the observation that he must be hiding something as damning as having paid no taxes to allow the public's festering doubts to proceed.
