Sohn: Trump has used America as his mark

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has said that he doesn’t believe voters have a right to see his tax returns, and insisted it’s “none of your business” when pressed on what tax rate he himself pays — a question that tripped up Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential race.

The questions about Donald Trump’s taxes are too numerous to count.

How can a self-claimed successful businessman lose $916 million in one year?

How can a guy who wants to “make America great again” have the consummate gall not to pay taxes for 18 years?

How can this man look at voters every day and and tell them he’s for them when he’s made them pay for his manipulation and incompetence?

Sure, he’d say we’ve paid for his genius because not paying taxes “makes me smart,” as he boasted when Hillary Clinton prodded him about not releasing his tax returns.
