He looks awful.

percetion This conman is going to prison when he is vulnerable! Out of office, then the real fun begins! He will be charged, tried, convicted and broken! Prison life for this dirty bastard!

Crook!

Once again, somebody at CNBC has to politicize the site. I follow you for market news and investing insights, NOT your relentless attacks on our POTUS. FYI - he’s NOT required to provide his tax returns. Find something important to report on. smh

I wish I had the money he spends on lawyers.

Leave him along, he has nothing to hide

What’s he so afraid of ?

Those tax returns must be very damning!

When you’re desperately trying to hide something of value

When a normal person is a suspect in a crime they don’t get to choose to surrender evidence. This is why he continues his lawless activities and will never stop until someone with balls stops him

Davidlaz What’s Trump got to hide it must be pretty juicy

Such a criminal. Family of criminals. I am sure he’s trying hard to get re-elected to avoid criminal proceedings. What a con man

Funny thing is its inevitable they are going to see it

Is there ever a wall where all options have been exhausted? The neverending filing and appeals process needs to end. It's been four years for FS.

So what about the Supreme Court ruling did he fail to understand? This is our president folks....a conniving, lying con artist

What are you hiding, Donny?

Why is it necessary for him to make all these efforts to stop his tax records from becoming public? It's not like he's just saying 'no, I won't give them to you,' he's filing lawsuit after lawsuit to stop it. Is it so he can continue to play the victim?

need more time to hide the rubles?

What are you hiding realDonaldTrump ? Never mind, I already know. I read Mary Trump’s book.
