Since Mitt Romney on Wednesday urged Donald Trump to release his tax returns, the real estate mogul has been poo-pooing the former Republican presidential nominee and arguing that his tax returns aren’t all that important.
In his latest string of tweets late Thursday morning, Trump reminded Americans how large and complicated his tax returns on.

In an interview on CNN on Wednesday, Trump said that his “returns are extremely complex.” He said that Romney only brought up tax returns because “he lost in the last election, and lost very, very badly.”
Trump also suggested in a Thursday tweet that his tax returns would not accurately reflect his wealth.
Just for your info, tax returns have 0 to do w/ someone’s net worth. I have already filed my financial statements w/ FEC. They are great!

We already know that Trump is nearly completely ignorant about the Constitution and how our system of government actually works. Now we learn that he is equally ignorant about economics and our tax system. And we want this man to be President of the United States because??? The mind truly boggles. However, as Mencken noted, no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people; Trump has made a lot of money using that knowledge.
“My tax returns are the biggest and classiest tax returns ever! They’re YUUUUGE!”
Very big, very classy.
Signed with gold Sharpie and embossed with a faux-crest “T”.
His biggest deduction was his and Melania’s wardrobe. Nothing but the finest imported polyesters.
And before he’s through with the IRS, he’ll make them pay for it.
The only thing yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuger than his tax returns is his ego.
