Will he keep his latest promise about releasing his tax forms? Anybody want to bet?

2011
During his "birther" campaign of falsely claiming President Obama was not born in the United States, Trump offered a public deal: If Obama released his birth certificate, he'd release his tax returns.
"Maybe I'm going to do the tax returns when Obama does his birth certificate," he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos.

"I may tie my tax returns, I'd love to give my tax returns, I may tie my tax returns into Obama's birth certificate."

He also hinted he might release them "if I decide to run" for office. But he didn't for either occasion.

2012
With Mitt Romney running on the Republican p**********l ticket, Trump again and again offered a bit of advice from one businessman to another: The candidate must release his tax returns, ASAP.

Trump started saying this in January, telling Fox News that releasing the returns is a "great thing" because it lets a person prove "you've been successful, and that you've made a lot of money."

"I actually think it's a positive," he said.

In the final weeks of the campaign, Trump even fell back on his birther deal, telling CNN he urged Romney to release his returns if Obama showed his birth certificate. Trump said it could be "a swap."

2014
The Obama birth certificate had by now emerged, proving that Trump's claim had zero merit.
So Trump devised a new deal: He'll release the tax returns if he runs for office.
"If I decide to run for office, I'll produce my tax returns, absolutely. And I would love to do that," he said in an interview with Ireland's TV3.

2015
Months before announcing his p**********l candidacy, Trump assured that he'd release the returns as part of his proof that he "would make money for our country."

"I would certainly show tax returns if it was necessary," he said in a February radio interview with Hugh Hewitt.

As the year neared its ends, and Trump surged in the GOP primary polls, he said he was "thinking about" letting the returns out.

Presidents are under no legal obligation to release their tax returns. But every president since Richard Nixon has done so while in office as part of a tradition of financial t***sparency, according to tax historian Joe Thorndike.

During the campaign, Trump refused to reveal his tax returns -- upending a 40-year tradition observed by p**********l nominees from both parties. His oft-stated reason: His returns were under audit, and he'd release them when the audit is complete. But if nominated, he promised to make public his tax returns. He did not.

But critics pointed out that an audit does not legally prevent anyone from sharing their tax returns publicly, and Trump could have if he wanted. Despite growing calls to release them, and even leaked pages of his 1995 tax return, Trump still chose to keep them private.

May 20, 2014
Trump: "If I decide to run for office, I'll produce my tax returns, absolutely," he said. "And I would love to do that." No "may" or "might."

FEBRUARY 25, 2015:

Trump told radio host Hugh Hewitt that he would "certainly show tax returns if it was necessary." 40 years of full disclosure and blind trust by both parties is a fine precedent for necessary.

Then lies again about a Tax audit stopping him.

FEBRUARY 27, 2016:

Trump revisits the audit argument on Twitter.

"Tax experts throughout the media agree that no sane person would give their tax returns during an audit," he said. "After the audit, no problem!"

And lies again

MAY 11, 2016:

Trump tells the Associated Press that his taxes are under "routine audit" and he will release them when the audit is done.

"I would release my tax returns when audit is complete, not after e******n!" he tweeted about the interview.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2016:

Trump says during the first p**********l debate that his taxes will be released once an audit is finished.

"I don't mind releasing. I'm under a routine audit, and it will be released. As soon as the audit's finished, it will be released," he said. Stalling...but the audit was complete.

KelleyAnne Conway supports the lie: JANUARY 23, 2017:

Conway clarifies her comments with a tweet: "On taxes, answers (& repeated questions) are same from campaign: POTUS is under audit and will not release until that is completed."

Spicer backs the lie: APRIL 17, 2017:

Spicer, the White House press secretary, says Trump's tax returns are still under audit.

"It's the same thing that was discussed during the campaign trail, the president is under audit. It's a routine one that continues," he said.

Asked in a later exchange if we can assume Trump will never release his returns, Spicer said he would "get back to you on that."

So-called Bone Spurs for the draft-dodger. GOP supports this cowardly and unpatriotic piece of crap? What happened to the party of values?

Clinton used his education deferment... probably until the draft was eliminated ( I would not be surprised), 5 deferment Dick Cheney used it also as well as 5 deferment Don Trump. I was surprised when John Kerry, who did serve, was "swiftboated" and denigrated for his service by my party, and John McCain, a real live hero who makes Trump look like the milquetoast that he is, lost his e******n after the Iraqi debacle. Does that make you feel better?

Big difference when there isn't a draft. Trump got five deferments to avoid serving for our country. I am pretty sure that you remember back in that day, Conservatives consider it anti-American. They had a genuine hatred for people who pulled that un-patriotic crap. Now he is deity of Republicans? In the Don's word: "Sad!"

I wouldn’t say he is a deity. He is attacked on a continual basis, IMHO, which causes his personality issues to exhibit what he considers his “strengths” and counter even the most minute detail. He doesn’t have the temperament to resist or step back and think, considering other responses. I won’t make excuses. Just saying he is the one we elected and we have who we have as long as we have him. My brother avoided the draft. I enlisted. We had problems after my return from overseas, but I didn’t h**e him. But then he didn’t make excuses either. We had to work those things out.

I don’t get the blue/red thing, the lib/con thing. And I grew up in a political family. I always noticed that we mostly worked together for the good of the community. I still do that but I have my opinions which I give when asked. Usually I keep my mouth shut a lot and listen. I don’t fight at the drop of a hat but I can stand up for myself. Tolerance of others goes a long way toward a serene life. I prefer that and try to pick my battles wisely.

There is nothing that requires him to provide his tax returns. Nothing in the Constitution or laws. He met and still meets all Constitutional requirements and complied with law requiring a Financial Disclosure. I suppose he will provide his taxes when or if he decides to do so, or a law is written with a grandfather clause that says he must.

He could have volunteered but did not. That does not evoke unpatriotic behavior. He didn’t evade. He simply didn’t volunteer. Did you?
