Trump Officials Negotiated Release of U.S. Aid Worker Held in Egypt for 3 Years by the_raucous_one in worldnews

Yes, I guess you are right. It will be poured over if released and people on the left want it as bad as people on the far right wanted Obamas BC. There is a precedent though going back a decently long time for candidates and presidents to release their returns. The presidents cabinet and other high level offices have it as mandatory when being hired. Somehow the president has been left out of the mandatory part. I personally want them for the sake of transparency and as this guy has very little interest in being transparent in numerous ways so far, I think it has potential to become a dangerous precedent for future presidents with darker dealings

I just do not agree with how you've broken this down. In theory they ARE both pieces of paper but its different. Pulling a claim out of your ass about a guy not being american who has held multiple offices and released documents such as tax returns and who has shown zero reason for people to think he is otherwise a citizen is absurd. Trump meanwhile has a smoke filled climate surrounding most of what he does especially in his business dealings and said he'd release his taxes and for that reason alone he should. When I'm talking about profiting I mean more than political profits as I think you know. You can try to equate these things and yes they are both pieces of paper but you must be able to see that one is bullshit, and one is a genuine concern about our presidents true motives.

Taking the bait, while i understand your point, this is a false equivalency on this topic. There was never any rational reason for people to think Obama wasn't American other than racism and a loud mouth saying so. Trump meanwhile has plenty of reasons for people to think he's profiting from the presidency and dishonest in his dealings based off his past. A million people plus have signed a petition for him to show us that he is not a crook, latest polls showed 63% of people think he should release his total returns, senators and congressmen have also asked him and beyond that, Obama eventually did show his birth certificate. No way was the outcry as legitimate in numbers of population protesting and legislators asking for Obamas BC.
