Interesting! Will the Donald respond?

OMAHA, Neb. — Warren Buffett eviscerated Donald Trump before introducing Hillary Clinton at a rally here Monday afternoon, challenging him to release his tax returns and invoking McCarthyism over the Republican nominee's feud with the Khan family.....

The billionaire businessman also had an offer for Trump: meet anywhere, any time to show him his tax returns, which Trump has said he won't release because he's under audit......

He is the third business leader to speak in support of Clinton in less than a week.

edited to keep the topic on tax returns...

"How in the world can you stand up to a couple of parents who've lost a son and talked about sacrificing because you were building a bunch of buildings?" Buffett said before channeling Joseph Welch's question during the 1954 McCarthy hearings.

"I ask Donald Trump: have you no sense of decency, sir?"​

Buffett? I don't mean no harm, but who does he think he is?

And regarding Khizr M. Khan, there is information surfacing about him that is interesting, to say the least. It should become more and more interesting as time progresses. Perhaps he should not have put himself in the limelight the way he did. It may have backfired on not only Hillary Clinton, but on himself as well.

In the meantime, who is Warren Buffett to ask that last question you posted?

How many will be asking him re: his support for Hillary Clinton:

"have you no sense of decency, sir?"

Another billionaire who is also being audited. Trump's excuse for not releasing them is that he is being audited - but the IRS is not stopping it.

Is Donald Trump breaking any laws?

brinny,

Candidates for President in recent decades release their tax returns so the public can be informed. Trump is hiding his. The question is why?
And it is an important question considering his history of 4 bankruptcies to say the least.

Is bankruptcy illegal?

Thank you.

Nevertheless, does this dis-qualify him?

 

[FreeinChrist]

I never said "disqualify him" or anything about legality.

As someone one said:

"What difference does it make?"

 

[FreeinChrist]

If you don't care then you do not need to worry about it.

Just curious.

The mention of Warren Buffett caught my eye, and then the mention of Khizr M. Khan.

NY Times

OMAHA — The investor and philanthropist Warren Buffett unleashed a withering attack on Donald J. Trump on Monday for refusing to release his tax returns, asserting he had something to hide, and for misleading voters about his success as a businessman and ability to improve the American economy.​

Mr. Buffett, known to investors as the Sage of Omaha, said a monkey throwing darts at the stock pages in 1995, when Mr. Trump first offered stock in his Atlantic City hotels, would have come out far ahead of anyone who listened to Mr. Trump’s “siren song” and invested in his company that lost money year over year.​

The attack from perhaps the nation’s most revered investor undercut a core argument of Mr. Trump’s presidential candidacy: that his success as a businessman qualified him to run the country despite his lack of political experience.

“Nothing prevents individuals from sharing their own tax information,” the IRS said in a statement.

I want to know about his investments in Russia

Yep...

Trump is hiding something alright.

I wish every reporter would ask him why he has not released his taxes, and we would see a Trump core meltdown
