Who said anything about before he was president? I'm talking about his financials since becoming president.
But I understand, it's easier to blindly believe a billionaire politician than it is to question them.

There's no longer a PR battle...
Election coming up, it as pure PR.

there are lots of things I'd like, but they just aren't going to happen. You don't really want to see Trump's taxes, you were told you did. I can prove it.

It seems to me that the POTUS has identified those tax returns as low hanging fruit to bedevil the Left with.
Yeah, I can see this perspective. And maybe so. If he is as smart as so many make him out to be then this would be a good gambit on his part . But on the opposite side of the question is what if there ''IS'' something there that would prove his past failures in decision making and his ability to control a positive cash flow for his ''empire''.

Strawman. Of course there is no law. It isn't about that. It is about him saying he would and reneging.

Doesn't change the fact that he's hiding them. Seems a little weird that he ran for public office if he's so worried about his privacy, isn't it?
I really hope they make it law to release tax returns, it'll prevent any future shysters from duping the public.
Trump had Citizen's United coordinate his campaign, makes you wonder how he can claim that he isn't controlled by special interests when the most successful special interest group ran his campaign. He's a shyster, always has been and always will be.

Because it is PR. Just because it doesn't matter to you doesn't mean it can't sway someone else.

I don't want anything. I'm not american and could care less if Trump get's re-elected or not. I'm pointing out your flawed logic in thinking "the battle was won" and that somehow means it can't be brought up again.

I'm not the one running for public office, you're comparing apples and oranges here. The president is a little higher up on the ladder than little old me. I'm on the bottom rung, my financials don't mean anything in the grand scheme of things.
So tired of that argument. That's already the second time I've had to shut that reasoning down in this thread alone.

I never said I was interested in the public good.
As for caring about Trump. I really don't but you are free to think whatever you want. I don't care much about that either.
I'm just addressing your flawed logic. People who do care might come across this and think "maybe he is hiding something". There you go. the battle for hearts and minds is never over. New voters every four years.

In 2016, people may have cared too.. but Trump won.
Whose mind do you think will be changed from not seeing his tax returns 4 years later?
Give it up fella, we all know the reason ONE side wants to see his tax returns.
Not one part of your argument holds any water.
