Back to topic, I thought Trump was thoroughly checked when he ran for president. Why is it other peoples business what someone else has on his tax return or bank account?
If he had dirt at this walking cane, it would have been found before he was sworn into the oval office.

Didn't Trump transfer his company over to his kids?
I'm pretty sure he did.
We'll see what happens, but if you think this is going to result in Trump no longer being your President. You're just setting yourself up for disappointment.

Many lawsuits do not make Fox news or any other news regarding politicians. Obama and Hillary have many pending lawsuits against them. Trump has lawsuits against him and will have many more. It comes with the territory.
So really, Trump made his tax returns interesting by appearing to want to keep them hidden and making up lies to support that.

He transferred the operation of the company to his kids but he still receives the financial benefits from the company and is still the owner of the company. Therefore any financial activity conducted by the company can be considered to the financial benefit of Donald Trump.
This is why every other President has put their companies into a blind trust, to avoid this issue specifically.

Technically, it is not anyone else's business. Trump was well within his rights to just say "I don't want to show my tax returns" but since every other candidate since Nixon had shown their tax returns it made people question why he didn't want to release them. The questions deepen even further when Trump said he can't release them because he was under audit (a lie).
So really, Trump made his tax returns interesting by appearing to want to keep them hidden and making up lies to support that.
As for checking him for President, as far as I am aware, all a President gets is an FBI background check to make sure they are not criminals. Going through tax returns to look for crimes is not in the purview of the FBI background check.

I'll give you a star and flag, just for your unrelenting pursuit out of the blue right before the midterms.
I'm just curious why everyone wants his Tax Returns so bad? Can we make a fair trade, Trumps' Taxes for Hilary's Emails? lololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololo lolololololololololololol
Anyway, I can't wait for the midterms to be done and over with..... Less of this stuff going back and forth from both sides of the aisle.

Do you have a source that supports your claim?
