Trump has spent his whole life protecting himself from exposure through non-disclosure agreements. Personally, I want to see what he's hiding. I know we'll never see his college transcript, but I sure would love to see it. But I would be content to see his tax returns. As a former tax accountant, I would have fun going through them! Maybe you should run for Congress because Sarah Huckabee Sanders stated the other day Congress is too stupid to understand the complexities of trump's tax returns. Which, if true, should concern us all since they are the one's writing the damn laws surrounding them. Maybe it's time to simplify the code so any ole idiot can understand who owes what and why.

Actually, there is not a chance that Trump understands his own tax returns. I bet all he understands is the bottom line tax liability. He has an entire army of CPA, and Tax Attorneys,, Why would he need to know anything about it, Many years ago, Old Henry Ford of the Ford motor Co, intelligence was being questioned,,
He basically said he didn't need to know anything except the names of the Smartest Professors in the World,,, who would give him the answers he needed.

As a general rule, that is a bad question to ask. Many people who receive a lot of money in a hurry (such as athletes and lottery winners) who do not have a history of having money end up losing much or all of it. Even the general public can be at risk. They put themselves there by having just that attitude. They turn over control to someone else and figure that they don't need to know for themselves. The problem though is that unless you know enough to tell when someone is cheating you, they may be able to cheat you. The best thing most people can do is educate themselves, for self-protection if nothing else. Donald Trump does not really have that problem. He may not be the smartest person in the room, but he will be the most corrupt person in the room. It doesn't matter that much if people beat or cheat him because he will just cheat other people more to make up for it.

Too bad he doesn’t listen to them. that's precisely it. he might pay for help, but he doesn't listen to it unless it agrees with his own preconceptions. so, what exactly is he paying for?
