But in recent years, all presidents have released tax returns and set a standard now as the world has changed. Now potential presidents have much more financial involvement in business, I doubt anyone cared about Honest Abe's tax returns. This is now the 21st Century and the world has changed.
Especially with him being a "businessman", it is even more important.
Jimmy Carter gave up his peanut farm when he was elected, and instead Trump advertises Mar A Lardo on a government website with membership at $200,000 a pop - classy.
And Trump of course passed all his business interests to his kids, not exactly a "blind trust".
The guy is a joke, but a dangerous one at that.
