There is literally no positive outcome that can result from Trump releasing his tax returns.
The Romney example is great because I never even heard he did it (and I obviously was against Romney). It was a 'nothingburger' quickly forgotten about.
Every one of those reasons you listed would be viewed as a positive by Trump supporters. As it stands now, for the very very VERY small amount of people still undecided in whatever fashion, there is only the unanswered question of why he didn't release it, and what on it that he doesn't want people to see.

Shed light on possible donors? I guess transparency was a lie on his part. Oh well, nothing illegal about being opaque.

I think a lot fewer people care about his taxes than you believe.
The left has spent 3 years of doing absolutely nothing except trying to overturn the election. Don't you get tired of hearing about this crap? I hate doing my taxes....the last thing I would ever want is to read someone else's which is likely much more complicated than mine and done by professional tax preps.

Do you not care about possible conflicts of interest? Or do you blindly believe billionaire politicians for no other reason than "the media said mean things about him"? 🤣

Why the bloody hell should he?
Is this only important to you because he has a right not to and is saying no, or do you just want dirt, any dirt, even a spec to add to your mound of mud you are making to sling from?
Because thars all it is. Mud.

For a stay while both sides present arguments.
I can't tell if you are attempting to deliberately mislead people or if you yourself didn't read the judgement well enough....
Deliberately mislead what? They issued a stay...that is called a win. We can see what the response is whenever/if it comes. I posted the single page judgement so everyone can read it.
Clinging to hope hurts doesn't it....
Because you are making this sound like Turmps tax returns are now safe and forever sacrosanct and won't see the light of day.
That isn't the case. The SC has blocked releasing the tax returns while Trumps lawyers deliver further arguments why they should remain hidden.
All that's occurred is a delay (and its ironic you've been so coy/reticent to explain it plainly/simply). The most likely explanation in this case is because you've posted this primarily as propaganda rather than openly/honestly.
So this is bound to get some people riled up. The Supreme Court sided with Trump on the stay for his taxes.

Nothing burger? You obviously weren't paying attention during the 2012 election then if you think that... it isn't about finding something illegal. It is being able to lob accusations about something that is complex to the average person who doesn't have the ability to know it is BS.
Harry Reid got up on the Senate floor and straight up lied about Mitt Romney not paying taxes for about 10 years. When this was proven false, Harry Reid quipped "He didn't win, did he?" which tells you all you need to know about this play the Democrats are running.

Well, I honestly believe he's most likely guilty of doing shady # to hide his assets and pay little/no taxes. Understandably that doesn't matter to his supporters, but for me personally there's few things that get me white hot angry than a rich person cheating the system to get richer.

I see what you're saying, since Obama lied that means Trump can lie too! Great logic you've got going there. Don't be surprised when Democrats use the same precedent next time.
If Hillary (or whatever other Democrat) is elected and refuses to release her/their tax returns I'm sure you'll be right by her/their side defending her. Right? 🤣

You don't think the IRS would have uncovered something? If the IRS has not accused Trump of tax fraud (and you know he has been audited a bunch of times) what makes you think some other group is going to uncover something?
