Finally, this is about taking Mr. Trump at his own word. He has certainly dodged and hedged on the subject recently, but many other times he has been remarkably clear that he would make his tax returns public. He consistently chided Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, for not releasing his returns sooner in his campaign. In May 2014, as Mr. Trump entertained the idea of running for president, he said, on television: If I decide to run for office, Ill produce my tax returns, absolutely, and I would love to do that. Nothing has changed that should justify Mr. Trumps changing his mind.
A maxim often attributed to Thomas Jefferson holds that an educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people. Equipping voters with more, not less, information as they pick those who run for the highest offices in our land seems, to me, a reasonable requirement for anyone aspiring to those positions.
