Trump should reveal tax information

Trump should reveal tax information

To the Editor:

Donald Trump can bellow out from the tallest building in New York that he is an innocent man who is being maliciously badgered by a spiteful media. He can tweet hourly that he has no business ties to Russia. But, he will only be making more noise than the noise is making. The noise is S.A.Y.I.T., which has been repeated thousands of times since his campaign and questionable election as president. S.A.Y.I.T. is, of course, an acronym for Show America Your Income Taxes.

By revealing that information Trump might dispel the notion that he is being manipulated by Vladimir Putin. On the other hand, it might simply prove that Trump is, indeed, beholden to Putin because of money. Have you ever wondered why Trump has refused to reveal that relevant tax information as his presidential predecessors have?

Come clean, Mr. Trump. S.A.Y.I.T.!!!!
