By law, Donald J. Trump is not required to declare his tax returns to the public. As a presidential candidate, he has the option to do so, but it's not required.

He isn't required to do so, but then he merely tells us that he has lots to hide.
I don't think that this guy is going to last to the election. Even baseman is running away from him.
When running for Public Office the people needs transparency, what does he have to hide?? one, did not pay any tax, two, paid very little tax, three, the different sources of his income, four,did not make any charitable donation has he so claimed, and most of all it may reveal he is not as rich as he wants his FOLLOWERS to believe. Trump is modern day snake oil Salesman, he is a 5-star fraud.

Indeed.
It would be nice to see how it compares to Clinton. Clinton made around 10M and gave about a mil in charity. But what is more noticeable is that her effective tax rate was 34+%. That is normal which does not indicate any shenanigans with her returns.
So the Fixed New Network and their stupid enablers, Rush and Hannity chose to bastardize a tax return that does not really has any reason for bastardization. They started preaching to their listening and viewing audiences that Hillary only give donations to her own foundation as if that would not be the best place since it is their own foundation. Charity begins at home and if they can contribute to their own charity then that is one hole they don't need to fill with other donations. But that was not enough of an attack by the three evil heads above. They also went on to tell their audiences that onlt 10% of the foundation's expenditures go to real causes and the rest went to things like travel expenses for the Clintons. That would be a lot of travel by the Clintons and one that the IRS would be quick to ask how those aren't reportable income to the Clintons.
But it is the uninformed Fox New, Rush and Hannity audiences so no hard sweat to Fox News, Rush and Hannity.

Right now, Trump is essentially thinking that he isn't going to last to the elections also.
Whether or not it is required by law, it is the practice to always provide tax information when competing for the position of President of the US_of_A.

Quite possible, Ksazma.
However, Republican officials are keeping their option open for another, should things go sideways with Trump.

As much as Trump may feel that he is sinking fast, I don't think Trump will allow anyone to remove him from the top of the ticket. He will burn the Republican party before he does especially since he is not really a Republican. Yesterday when he begin to feel more heat, he invoked the Lewinsky blue dress as if he was running against Bill instead of Hillary Clinton. However, he conveniently forgot that he was cheating with Marla Maples while he was still married to Ivana Trump.
Ksazma, Trump is in his own world, doing as he wishes rather than being focused on the real political issues in the US_of_A.
While it is possible that he could be removed by the Republican officials, a he could compete independently of any new nominee of the Republicans.
Trump supporters doan even worry about his character. All they know, he has a future for them. The rest of the white people in hilary camp needs 2 c Trump's vision.
