No matter what the issue or controversy may be–for example the allegations of sexual assault against Donald Trump–the candidate always says he will release information which proves he’s right and everyone else is wrong. Only problem is, he never does.
It started with the long-promised tax returns, but has now grown to include a plethora of other matters. Here’s a partial list, starting with the taxes:
The Trump Tax Returns:
As far back as 2011, Trump promised that if President Obama released his birth certificate, he would return the favor by showing the world his tax returns. The President kept his end of the bargain, but we are still waiting for Trump to hand over his tax documents.
Proof of an Audit:
Trump says he cannot release his tax returns because he’s under audit by the IRS. So why not show us the letter from the IRS which states this to be so? Sounds like bullshit to me.
Full List of Creditors:
At the first debate, moderator Lester Holt about his tax returns. Trump replied he could put us all at ease about any foreign countries he might owe large sums of money to, declaring:
“I would—if that would help you, I would give you a list of banks. These are very fine institutions, very fine banks. I could do that very quickly.”
Just like the tax documents, we are still waiting on that list of creditors and “fine” banks.
His Wife Melania’s Immigration Documents:
Following reports that Melania Trump had (illegally) worked in the United States under a tourist visa in the 1990s, Trump said he would hold a press conference in the near future to prove she had not worked illegally. That press conference has never materialized.
His Medical Records:
This issue came up as Trump and his surrogates tried to assert that Hillary Clinton was hiding a serious health problem. Trump was asked why he didn’t also release his full medical records, and he told ABC News:
“I might do that, I might do that. In fact, now that you ask, I think I will do that. I’d love to give full report.”
Instead, Trump released a letter from his gastroenterologist. Then he went on Dr. Oz’s television show and shared other details from the same gastroenterologist which were in no way backed up by fact. That full medical report he said he’d just love to give? No one has seen it.
As has been proven time and time again, Donald Trump is a pathological liar and con man. He is totally unfit to serve in any government position and is not even good at running his own business, which has fallen into a slump since he began his quest for the Oval Office.
