I’m waiting for the invective tirade against, “Brett ‘Rapey’ Kavanaugh who is ungrateful after all I’ve done for him!” ---

They keep on using that word. I don’t think it means what they think it means. ---

Full-on meltdown going on. I find it funny that he complains that nobody is doing anything about ObamaGate. Because by “nobody” he means his own administration is doing nothing. ---

He’s acting as though some government body seeing his tax returns will automatically result in a prosecution. Does he even realize the hole he’s digging for himself? ---

He’s pissed at his own Republican Senate, his own hand-packed Supreme Court, and that his Obamagate story just doesn’t seem to be gaining traction, for some strange reason. He’s pissed “his” Supreme Court picks didn’t hand him what he wanted on a silver platter. Guess that shows an instance where an irrevocable appointment for life works for the better - the Supremes don’t have to worry about Trump firing them because he can’t. He’s also pissed because he is not _actually_ a dictator and can’t just get what he wants by asking for it. You know, tantrums are pretty ugly in a toddler. They’re even more ugly in an alleged adult in his 70’s. ---

I think the more likely explanation is that to people like Trump, “knowledge is power” and giving up any amount of power is an affront to him. His returns could be squeeky clean, but unless making them public gave him some advantage that he doesn’t already have he’s gonna pitch a fit. ---

His returns could be squeeky clean, but unless making them public gave him some advantage that he doesn’t already have he’s gonna pitch a fit. It’s probably one of 4 things, from least to most damaging: 1. His returns show that he’s not an actual billionaire, just a loser multimillionaire 2. They show he’s been involved with something maybe not quite illegal but very fishy, like creative tax sheltering 3. They show he’s involved with something that is illegal, like tax evasion 4. They show large influxes of cash from Russia ---
