'I did what was an nearly an impossible thing to do for a Republican-easily won the Electoral College!
During the campaign trail, President Trump promised to release his tax returns but after 86 days in office, he has yet to do so. Trump releasing his taxes was important to about 50 percent of respondants to a Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll released last week, and 53 percent said he should be required to release his federal tax returns.
Mr Trump has previously claimed protesters at his rallies, and at Republican town hall meetings, were paid.
Protest organizers are demanding that Donald Trump release his tax returns and urging lawmakers to pass laws requiring presidential candidates to release them. With this year's tax deadline approaching Tuesday, Trump is expected to maintain his refusal as president, breaking a four-decade precedent followed by presidents of both parties. He says it is because he was under audit and that voters don't care.
Seventy-one-year-old Ilene Singh said he's wrong. Yesterday, in Washington, New York and dozens of other cities, protesters loudly said that's not the case.
Questions about Ivanka Trump's business and politics not going away
Ivanka Trump resigned from management at her clothing and accessories company to take a job in her father's administration. It is not clear how Trump, now a federal employee, will navigate continuing ties to far-flung foreign business interests.
"We can not have a president who is loyal to his money", Libeling said to the crowd.
In Berkeley, California, police arrested at least 20 people after fist fighting erupted at separate unrelated rallies in a park where about 200 people for or against Trump had gathered. "And you know full well that President Trump and his family are complying with all the ethical rules, everything they need to do to step away from his businesses and be a full-time president", she added. "It's a routine one that continues", White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Monday. Numerous protests featured an inflatable chicken, a mascot of sorts for the march, in a bid to mock Trump's unwillingness to share his returns. But over a year ago, the IRS said, "Nothing prevents individuals from sharing their own tax information". "Now Tax Returns are brought up again?" the President wrote. If there are potential conflicts of interest between his political decisions and business interests, they should be disclosed.
Kinzinger is among few Republicans joining Democrats on the issue.
Every time Trump makes a move as president, from altering trade policy to easing Wall Street regulations, the American public will wonder what's in it for him.
