Trump Boasts about Victory in Response to Tax Returns Pressure
Mon Apr 17, 2017 09:42:32

US President Donald Trump is boasting about his 2016 victory in the presidential election in response to increasing pressure on him to release his tax returns.

Ever since he started running, the real estate tycoon has refused to voluntarily release his tax returns like his predecessors.

On Sunday, he appeared on Twitter to respond to nationwide protests a day earlier, calling on him to release his tax returns.

The Republican president questioned the idea that he should release them, asserting that what matters is that he “easily” won the presidential race.

“I did what was an almost an impossible thing to do for a Republican-easily won the Electoral College! Now Tax Returns are brought up again?”

Trump suggested that rallies in Florida, New York and Washington, among other US cities, were an extension of the battle for an election that is “over.”
