"President Trump is is the first Presidential candidate from either the Democrats or Republicans not to throw open his financial records to the public since 1976. A poll in January revealed 74 per cent of US voters felt he should have done so."

What's the bloated douche-bag hiding?

if you're going to throw up a link to newscorp, at least copy paste the article.

I'm not going to subscribe to that trash.

It's a free site.

"US news organisation MSNBC claims to have obtained President Donald Trump’s tax returns, and plans to release them within hours."

Rachel Maddow has his tax returns and will be showing it later on.

you should watch the rest of her recetn work. She is an investigative reporter with exceptional contacts and has come up with a great number of deeply disturbing Russian connections to trump and his team.

I don't know. Trump paid 38 million in tax on an income of 150 million back in 2005. It's hardly groundbreaking news.

Why would Trump refuse to disclose that?

What is interesting is that Average Americans pay around 10% in tax. How does the US survive on that?

I'm not sure about the amount of tax, but given his worth, doesnt 150 million seem small?

No no - remember that trump is a bad businessman, so 150 million must have been a lucky strike.

because it is the summary only. It doesnt declare WHERE the income comes from which is the most important part. Trump probably gave the summary to the reporter himself.

Trump's worth has been over-inflated for years by none other than Donald Trump.

Or more accurately, his trusty sidekick, John Barron (Trump making calls with a fake accent).

Anyway, $150 million's quite a lot when your money's tied up in investments. A lot of this money would have come from his contract on the Apprentice.

Trump went 50-50 with the producer.

True. It would have shown that Trump actually made very little from all that alleged property.
