If he releases his returns and people start attacking his wealth, that would be worse than them saying he's a crook to a narcissist. Keep in mind, the economy and taxes are not really my thing. My wife does our taxes, and I've never really bothered to learn the ins and outs of the system. I am completely dependent on others to tell me what's true or not true in this regard. I am speaking strictly hypothetically with regards to his psychology.

That's ok. 99% of us are too. That is why we hire accountants or other qualified people (your wife) who know what they are doing.

Nobody will argue he isn't a narcissist, but that doesn't make him a criminal. 

The trend I see is that the left always tends to shoot for the stars to drag someone through the mud, and when they land on the moon, it doesn't seem that bad. It's like an AG emotionally charging cops with 1st degree murder then when they get off for manslaughter, people are disappointed.

Does anyone doubt the MSM and political enemies (same thing) would cherry pick his returns for information to present without context or full disclosure in attempts to smear him?

I've always been ambivalent about the release of tax returns from any candidate. It just doesn't really matter to me. As weaponized as the democrats left every other bureaucracy, I'm sure the IRS is loaded with leftist stoolies, a la Lois Lerner. If something in his returns screamed scandal and corruption, Schiff for Brains would have gotten his 'whistleblower' by now.

Exactly. The media has not shown themselves to be worthy of receiving his tax returns because they will not factually report the overall picture and instead produce shock headlines your everyday layman reads.

When Trump wins in November, I hope he never speaks to the MSM again.
