I do have a few theories of my own on his non-disclosure, all tied to paying no or low taxes. One is that he simply isn't as wealthy as he projects. Another is that disclosure would show all the convoluted offshore schemes and loopholes that he uses. Sending his money to foreign accounts would really undercut his "Buy America BS". Another is that his purported charitable gifts will be shown to be very low or non-existent. Wouldn't look good to claim he supported, say a veterans organization when he didn't.
