Lawrence O'Donnell, host of "The Last Word" on MSNBC publically stated long before Donald Trump announced he would run for President, that Trump would never make his tax returns public. O'Donnell knew Trump was the type of person who had something to hide from the public. O'Donnell also pointed out many of Trump's lies and "fake news" before he became a Presidential candidate.
Trump's excuse for not releasing his tax returns has run in circles. First it was because he was under audit, but then said he would release them after the audit was complete and then he said he would not release them at all. Well, this past week end people showed up in protest and demanded Trump release his tax returns and the President answered by saying the "election was over."
Hillary Clinton has released over 40 years of tax returns and has been the most transparent Presidential nominee in all the history of Presidential elections. This is the same woman Trump called crooked Hillary. But it has become obvious who the crooked one really is and the question of what Trump has to hide needs to be answered. Now he is hiding behind his statement "the election is over." But that is not good enough for a President who continues to make lying a major factor in his administration.
The Presidency is much larger than Donald Trump and the people have a right to know what he is trying to hide. And yes, every day Trump's actions confirm that Hillary Clinton is a better woman than Trump is a man.
