Donald J. Trump tells us he has “nothing to hide.” He brags about his wealth. He tells us he has the “best mind” that has resulted in unparalleled business acumen.<\/p>\n

He once promised to release his tax returns. He said they were under a “routine audit” which prevented him from releasing them for public review.\u00a0Now he is digging in. He is fighting the release of those returns. Oh, but wait! He has “nothing to hide.”<\/p>\n

A federal appeals court<\/a> has ruled that Trump must release his returns to the Manhattan (N.Y.) district attorney’s office, which is examining Trump’s hush money payment to porn queen Stormy Daniels, who alleges she got 130 grand from Trump to keep quiet about a fling she says she had with the future president \u2026 who said the event never occurred. Go figure, you know.<\/p>\n

The president is going to fight it. He’s going to take it to the U.S. Supreme Court, which is populated by a slim conservative majority among its nine members. Will they side with him? Will they even hear the case?<\/p>\n

I just keep wondering why someone with “nothing to hide” is working so damn hard to keep these returns away from public view.<\/p>\n

I know I am just one American. However, I don’t think I’m alone in believing that Donald Trump should reveal those returns in the interest of full transparency. I mean, didn’t he promise that, too, when he got elected president of the United States?<\/p>\n

If you’ve got “nothing to hide,” then turn the returns over to the DA who is well within his legal authority to demand them.<\/p>\n\n
