By his own logic, Trump must show tax returns

Posted January 27, 2017 12:00 am

Do you remember when citizen Donald Trump questioned President Obama's citizenship and thus the legitimacy his presidency? I do. I will never forget and I do not want history to forget either. I've taken quotes from President Donald Trump regarding Former President Barack Obama's birth certificate. I have replaced the topic of birth certificate with taxes.

In each of the following Donald Trump quotes, replace the words "birth certificate" with "tax returns":

"I would like to have him show his birth certificate, and can I be honest with you, I hope he can. Because if he can't, if he can't ... then he has pulled one of the great cons in the history of politics." (April 7, 2011, on NBC's Today show)

"Why doesn't he show his birth certificate? There's something on that birth certificate that he doesn't like." (March 23, 2011, on The View)

"He doesn't have a birth certificate, or if he does, there's something on that certificate that is very bad for him." (March 30, 2011, on The Laura Ingraham Show)

So now it's President Trump's turn. President Trump claims no one but the media wants to see his taxes. He's wrong. I do. Do you?
