Am I missing something? I thought his tax returns were already released. Or was that just a summary?
"Years long battle"? Wait, I remember him saying he was going to release the returns as soon as the IRS finished auditing then. That doesn't make sense. Are you saying he was lying before? >

I'm also confused, as it would be very out of character for Donald Trump, a paragon of honesty rivalling George Washington and Jesus Christ, to ever tell or have told a lie. >

Better than Washington, he said so himself! >

Better than Lincoln too! >

Wait I’m confused werent they released a week or two ago? Feel like I remember people talking about how he was claiming negative income >

They released a summary / report. Today they're releasing the returns themselves. >

Ohhh okay gotcha thank you so much! >

Confirming what we already know - he’s a broke ass liar and cheater. Too bad it won’t change the minds of his brainwashed followers. >

It's pretty unlikely that the tax forms by themselves would show his wealth or that he's a tax cheat. You would need other documents to confirm either possibility. The only thing it's going to say is that he doesn't pay much in taxes and probably lied about some of the money he gave to charity. 
What will be interesting is all the state and federal investigators who will now have a copy that's also likely admissible in court. >

I mean, his older tax returns showed he was the single biggest loser in America, based on money lost. That was pretty damn satisfying to have made public. >

No, they only showed that he "claimed" to be the biggest loser. >

Bingo. We don't know what he actually lost, because he's using the tax loss carryforward to reduce the amount he has to pay the next year(s). >

Glorious Leader *BRAGGED* that he paid less income tax than I did, and said that made him smart. >

I guess that’s the only true thing he ever said. >

"I love the poorly educated" >

What’s the difference between last week’s tax release and this week’s? >

Last well was a sneak peek this is the feature presentation. >

I am guessing that the real story, or at least part of it, will be that Trump lied on his returns and the IRS did nothing about it. >

Anyone know where this POS is today? Has he left the US by any chance? >

What a loser. >

I’m headed straight to drop the returns into ol ChattyGPT. I want to know what it has to say.
No spin. No tilt, no angles. Just brutal AI.
Siri & Chatty are my consiglieres now. (oh, I would just like to know to my auto correct does not like the plural of  consigliere) >

Did it work? Don't leave us hanging. >

I guess they never checked to see if he actually made huge tax donations to charities. Also, even though his taxes were very complicated, they did not put any specialists on the case during the investigation.  Think the IRS is in some trouble too, now. Darn. >

Boy I can't wait to see how much he's donated to charity!*
*in hindsight I'm shocked he never had the yuge idea to name one of his kids charity to scam an extra buck. >

The last charity they had didn't go so well. It would be surprising if he wasn't doing this already. Many rich people including Bill Gates, the Clintons, and the owner of Patagonia party use this tactic and it's perfectly legal, assuming the charity is using the funds appropriately, unlike the Trump foundation. >

I wonder if the IRS has an AI to crawl all of the deductions to see if they have actual merit. >

That was the longest 2 weeks of my life. >

Tax codes are based on income if there was any issues the IRS would have gone after him years ago. We don’t know all of the mega rich loopholes . So his tax returns will look like a Calculus textbook with no instructions. >

Who cares. He never faces consequences and can do whatever he wants >

Dumb question : how is it ok to expose someone's personnal tax record to the public without his consent?
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it happens and hate this mofo will all my gut but still... I don't understand the legality of it.  Was he required to do so by himself ? I don't think so. >

Because congress has oversight over the executive branch and can enter whatever they want into the congressional record. 
Checks and balances in action. >

So that's the key part I was missing. Congressional records.
Thanks for the shaming reddit!  But thanks to you bothering to help me understand :D >

I'm just wondering what that will accomplish? He's old news now, but we keep talking about him. >

The Trump 2024 signs in my neighborhood argue otherwise >
