Okay, and he's in real estate, where you can get a rough idea of those assets value using cap rates. 150 mil / .04 = $3.75 billion. Okay, so he's billionaire.

It's long been evident that those clamoring for tax returns have absolutely no idea what tax returns actually tell us.

It tells the rabble rousers they have something they hope to stir the ignorant masses with cause they know he isn’t going to bend to their tantrums.

It’ll work on a few dummies. Most are starting to see the stalkers for what they are.

If these aholes had any semblance of "fair play" or "what is right", they should pass legislation that requires ALL federal office seekers to open up their financial records. Include Congressmen and Senators. Do that and we'll see how eager people like Pelosi, Feinstein, etc., etc. are to force private financial records to be made public..........

We might get a glimpse at how Congress critters enter the offices without much net worth and in a short time are millionaires.........

Hypocritical Ba$tards......

They should add state officials as well since that is who is pushing this law. I predict that the discussion would quickly evaporate.

I think GOP states should require all candidates to show their Long-form birth certificate to be on the ballot.

Now the Democrats are trying to keep him off the ballots in as many states as they can. As is usually the case, the Democrats are dividing us again.

"If you can't beat him, find a way to keep him off the ballot. That's what legislators in 18 states are trying to do to President Trump in the 2020 presidential elections.

The Washington Post reports that several statehouses are looking to pass laws that will require presidential candidates to release their tax returns on if they want to see their name on voting ballots.

Some proponents of the numerous bills argue that they are geared toward increasing transparency and returning to the "norm" of candidates sharing their financial records with the public, which Trump has, to date, refused to do.

But, per the Post, other lawmakers are not even trying to be coy. They've admitted that the legislative push is "very much about Trump."

Most of the states that are considering this are controlled by Democrats, though the party has introduced legislation even in some Republican-controlled states." .......................

Since, in theory, you could have $0 file no tax returns and run for office and it's not a law you have to file a return if you have no income, I don't see how this would be constitutional. What about poor people that can even afford a voter ID card, wouldn't this intimidate them from running for office?

Trump has absolutely destroyed the Democrats. He's broken them

what happened to just not liking someone and dealing with it?

I don't like him. I think he's a detestable human being, but he shouldn't be kept off the ballot.

I'm assuming all candidates financial records are thoroughly vetted by federal authorities and that's good enough for me.

My top 3 things that I look for in a President are -

1- Policy (what they want to do for the country while in office).

2 - Policy (what they want to do for the country while in office).

3 - Policy (what they want to do for the country while in office).

I'm not looking for someone to be like a brother, father, grandfather, or best friend to me. I'm looking for someone that will look out for what is best for the people of this country - i.e. security (both financial and personal). If they can win the Mr. or Ms Congeniality Award on top of doing the important stuff then great. If not then that's OK too.

This is so stupid. Talk about outright discrimination. Just because you're a billionaire shouldn't keep you from running. Why didn't the Demons try to keep Romney from running? The answer is simple they knew he had no chance to win. Now, they want to bully their way into the WH.

Exactly. I don’t give a rats patootey about the person as someone I “could have a beer with. Or whether he/she is “cool”, dreamy, whatever else.

What’s he gonna do? Is what he’s gonna do, gonna work? If it’s working, why would I take another stab in the dark cause the guys a bit of a bull in the china shop?

Who cares? He’s effective. He actually has a plan. He’s the (maybe) the 2nd potus in my voting lifetime to say what he means, not focus group the ever living schit out of it, then forget about what he ran on as soon as he got through the door. He’s working as hard now as ever has on the things he said he would do.
And for the most part (all anyone can can actually ask for) I’m good with that.

What’s the alternative right now? Kamala? Bernie?

Are these people even serious?

Absolutely.

I don't particularly care for Donald Trump as a person. But when it's a choice between him and any of the democrats in the field, then the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Legislating that someone reveals personal information in order to run for public office is a violation of privacy laws. If the IRS won't do it, and they will do practically anything they like, then maybe you should think twice before trying to do it too, Demo state reps.

Orange Man Bad. Trump has rebuffed EVERYTHING the D's have thrown at him and they can't stand not getting their way. It's ridiculous, The D's know they are being ridiculous but have nothing else. At this point all the D's are doing is creating more Trump voters. The fact they can't see that shows just how blind they have become to actually creating policies and some kind of platform.

Well look at their platform they're offering:

Socialism
Higher Taxes
Bernie, Biden, Knee Pad Harris, Spartacus Booker, Chief Warren

What's failed so far:

Impeach Orange Man
Muh Russia
Mueller
Changing Electoral Votes

So now let's not let him be on the ballots and we'll have a chance.. The hardcore lefties are getting aroused by it.. The moderate ones are probably beginning to get red pilled.. Independents and Libertarians should be seeing the light.

But then again this is the ramblings of a man that's downed his cup of Freedom Fuel coffee this morning and still hears Lee Greenwood singing in his head.
