  Because a large part of politics is showmanship.
context: He's probably got all his Russian Mafia loans tied up in Beanie Babies >
  
  Closets full of goya beans behind the boxes of classified documents. >
  
  He’s going to defect and defecate when they finally charge him with crimes >
  
  Trump has shit his pants a non-zero number of times >
  
  Putin has taken to shitting his pants lately too so they could be diaper buddies. >
  
  Well now I wanna see that political cartoon >
  
  Don't wanna kink shame but... ew >
  
  It’s not usually my thing, but seeing it would be satisfying, regardless >
  
  Epic rant incoming from Mr Clairvoyant. >

  So basically we will learn trump has paid little to no federal income tax and it will make zero difference to those that plan on voting for him again. >
  
  We knew that already from last week.  This will have more detail hopefully >
  
  Tax fraud, the fact that he's not a billionaire, hundreds of millions in debt to China/Russia/Saudi Arabia. The fact that he doesn't pay taxes is probably going to be the least interesting thing in there >
  
  He's very likely a billionaire - Forbes did a deep dive on all the properties he owns and reported their combined value at $3.2B. So while he may not have that in cash, his real estate valuation (from independent sources, not reported by him) would qualify. >
  
  Trump has claimed his a billionaire.  There is no hard evidence that he is a billionaire. >
  
  And there's no hard evidence he isn't. But the information publicly available indicates that he is. >
  
  Yes there is.  Please see the writing of Richard Kay Johnston. >
  
  Yeah, no. I looked him up, there's nothing of value available, and you don't know what the phrase "hard evidence" means. >
  
  So you’ve read Johnston’s books and listened to all of his interviews?  Johnston said that Donald Trump has NEVER presented ANY evidence that he’s a billionaire.  
  Trump lied over 30,000 times while he was POTUS.  Why would you believe anything out of his mouth? >
  
  I've never read his stuff and I've never listened to his interviews. Why do you put so much stock into one person's opinion? He doesn't know for certain. And I DON'T believe Trump at all. I clearly showed that an independent study shows his assets are around $3.2B. >
  
  I want to see what tax professionals have to say about the details of his filings.  He's about to get audited simultaneously by a great many professionals, many of whom are legitimate experts.
  We can all look at the top line numbers and say he's a tax cheat, because we know those numbers are unacceptable and wrong for society.  But I what I want to hear is whether our corrupt tax code really does permit the wealthy to do this, or whether there's been impropriety.
  If he broke the law, there will be tremendous pressure on the IRS and law enforcement to act.  If he didn't break the law, then the law itself is fucked and needs to be changed. >
  
  I'm a former auditor.  That won't happen.  If the objective is to show that the tax return reporting was improper, we'd need to see not only the tax returns, but we'd need to see the company ledgers and bank statements.  
  If someone is underreporting income, we can't simply look at the tax return because we have nothing to compare them with.  Obviously, the people who put together the Trump Org. tax case where the business was convicted saw ledgers and bank statements, which is why they were able to put together a case that led to the convictions. >
  
  Which is why I never understood why he fought this so hard
  It's so easy for them to spin this
  Made a bunch of money: he's a smart businessman
  Claimed to lose a bunch of money on his taxes: he's a smart businessman
  I never saw a negative to him releasing his returns. Which makes me wonder, there must be something damning in them. >
  
  There is a mentality that some have: never give your enemy an inch. Alway fight for anything taken from you, no matter how minuscule. Because if there is really nothing for him to lose by these tax docs revealed, then he’s able to say, “See? I said there wasn’t anything more than me being a smart business man! It’s all a witch-hunt and I’ve been right about everything so far.”
  He has that to gain by fighting it, and then it being revealed that there’s nothing shady going on. >
  
  And in this case, the "enemy" being the American people. Think about that one. >
  
  Why wait?
