Something fishy re: Trump tax returns?

Donald J. Trump said Friday that he doesn’t believe voters have a right to see his tax returns, and insisted it’s “none of your business.”

Trump made the comments in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” as he continued to try to answer questions about his change in explanations over the last year about why he won’t release the taxes.

I remember the big deal about Kerry's taxes when he was running, something about Teresa Heinz's fortune mingled with his, was it illegal, blah blah blah. Cons loved seeing tax returns then.
 
Releasing one’s tax returns was, until this year at least, an established practice for presidential candidates.

Trump essentially admitted that in 2014, when he told an Irish television show, “If I decide to run for office, I’ll produce my tax returns, absolutely.”

The issue also came up when Trump started his infamous “birther” campaign against President Barack Obama, alleging falsely that Obama was born in Kenya and demanding that he release a birth certificate.

“Maybe I’m going to do the tax returns when Obama does his birth certificate,” Trump told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos in 2011.

And when the GOP’s last presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, hesitated to release his returns in 2012, Trump pressured him to disclose — and then praised him for doing so.
