Leave TFG Alone!

Isn't it obvious that after four-plus years of doing everything imaginable to keep his tax returns from seeing the light of day, the man has absolutely nothing to hide?

I don't understand why people insist on scrutinizing the man's personal finances, when it's apparent that there's no there there. It's just another witch-hunt that has nothing to do with anything, the only purpose being to hound a scrupulously honest man whose business dealings have been aboveboard his entire life.

There are all kinds of reasons why he is reluctant to have his personal tax information revealed - like being far wealthier than he's ever let on, or having his millions in charitable donations being exposed - what with being so humble and all about his unwavering commitment to sharing his wealth with those unfortunates who didn't inherit their daddy's money - or perhaps blew it all due to business incompetence or out-and-out greed.

So let's get off TFG's back. Hasn't he suffered enough? Just because he's a proven liar and an immoral thief doesn't mean he cheated on his taxes.

There's nothing to see here, folks - and we have TFG's word on that. And given what his word is worth, isn't that enough?





I'll just add the thingy here for those who need it.

I will say what I said back in 2015. If he had nothing to hide, then release it. Otherwise, I will assume there is something there. The more he tries to hide it, the more suspicious it becomes.

I'm not Chuck Norris, but I got bored once and counted halfway to infinity. Took me longer to count back than it did to count up!
