Audit all the senators and congress and house. Anyone who has stocks, or shares, or anything financial tied to their donor pool. They all have insider trading info and it's bullshit. Both parties do it. Audit them all. The tax payers are the only ones that have to play by the rules. Holding a public office should not make you rich. That's a problem and a clear conflict of interest. The people that hold a seat for 30 years and consistently back the same agendas that clearly benefit their donors are defeating the purpose of being a public servant.

He’s describing almost every politician you fool. Pretending that only one political party does it makes you a stooge. As dumb as the people who believe that there was no corruption before Trump got in office.

Donald Trump
: Donald Trump has frequently complained about being targeted by the IRS, stating for years that he was under continuous, unfair audits. While he argued that these ongoing audits prevented him from voluntarily releasing his tax returns, congressional investigations later revealed that the IRS actually failed to initiate its mandatory presidential audits during his first two years in office. Later, following a lawsuit against the IRS over the unauthorized disclosure of his tax data by a contractor, the Trump administration and the Department of Justice finalized a settlement that permanently barred the IRS from auditing or prosecuting past tax claims against Trump, his family, or his businesses.

Contrary to the meme's premise, a 2022 House Ways and Means Committee investigation revealed that the IRS failed to perform the required annual audits during Trump’s first two years in office (2017 and 2018). The IRS only initiated an audit on April 3, 2019 the exact same day House leadership formally requested his tax records.

Idk, I think we should give him another chance to steal more from us just to make sure.
Christ how dumb his supporters are. The hundreds of billions he stole from us then is going to be chump change to the amount he steals this time.

Releasing your tax returns used to be seen as the normal thing for a president to do before trump. He was and is quite literally the only president since the 70s that could've even had it "leaked".

I’d be more concerned about the next 2 years. I wouldn’t be surprised if his handlers have him do more serious things, then blame it all on him when he’s out of office. And considering how quickly his health seems to be declining, either way he wins and heritage wins.

The longstanding practice has been to audit every sitting president and VP annually under IRS policy. It was generally followed for recent presidents other than Trump. The notable failure documented by the congressional committee was the lack of timely mandatory audits of Trump while he was in office, not that he uniquely objected to a process others cheerfully accepted. The meme reverses the actual sequence and outcome.
