1) my expectations are for the POTUS to be square with me, a tax paying citizen, and release his tax returns like he promised months ago
2) no earthly idea
Oh 57, you know exactly what you are trying to get at by asking the question do you really know.
Do you think the middle class Americans that are struggling for work care about his tax returns?
Do you think that poor single mother in Baltimore cares whats on his tax return?
In reality, the only peopple that care about Trumps tax returns are those on the left that are still shell shocked that they lost an election they thought they would win by 10 points.

I'm just saying that I don't really think it's that hard to figure out who Trump is and where he stands on the issues.
I mean, maybe some people would rather have a politician that has admitted to a room full of rich bankers that she has a public stance and a private stance on particular issues. Whatever works for you!

It's not that difficult for someone to create a politically correct tax year for themselves.

Exactly, which makes Trump's refusal all the more troubling. But like you say, we know who he is: he's an arrogant, self-promoting con man with no conscious and no limits. He believes that he can get whatever he wants with ballsy guile alone and so far, he seems to be right.
Now that he's on top of the world, gonna be interesting to watch.
Especially the inevitable crash and burn.
Americans love to take down their leaders. I'm quite confident that the country as a whole is going to tire of him quickly. In fact, it already is. His snowman is melting already and to survive he's gonna have to pull off a miracle.

Not true. A broken clock is right twice a day. No one knows what percentage of actual truth a politician speaks.
If/when DT does tell the truth, it doesn't count because he'll quickly change his position or has already contradicted himself. When true words come from his mouth they are just a coincidence and should be given no more weight than when he spouts obvious lies.

Let me re-phrase. It's my guess that the gap between his liquidity and his paper wealth is wider than would be assumed from his rhetoric.

I don't think it's lefty politics or sour grapes that make his tax returns an issue. He's a guy wth substantial international business and a track record of heavy leaverage. Is the matter of whom he owes money to not just simple due dilligence? Could it not be in the national interest, if not the interest of national security, to know if the president owes nine-figure debts to Russian and Chinese banks, as has been reported?
I don't think the average American that is struggling to put food on the table care about that. What they are seeing is this sudden influx of investment capital coming into this country an the poise of new jobs. Whether or not that comes to fruition is an interesting debate but that is what really matters to people.
If Trump helps create an environment where more Americans can provide for their family he will be seen a's a resounding success and his broken promise of not releasing his returns will go down as a forgotten footnote in presidential history.

If the economy booms Trump will become a political God wether he caused it or not. I think there is a real chance of that happening.
Agreed. He won't be the sole reason but a business friendly environment is what we need right now. Taxing people out of poverty doesn't work. Never has.
