    The 5th of NEVER HarryD!  Trump lies about his wealth and lies about his contributions so releasing income tax returns will show the world what a liar he is.  Some group tried to validate the millions he says he has given to charity and could find ONLY $10,000 over the last 7 years. He SAYS the $50 million he LOANED his campaign has been converted into DONATIONS so any contributions he receives won't be going to repay himself. Problem is the proper paperwork hasn't been filed yet. Something else he lies about.  The only dependable/truthful thing about him  is that he loves himself to death and can't get enough of himself and if he clones himself he would love it even more because he  would have that much more to love/worship/adore! YUCK! Thank you for your question Harry.  So don't hold your breath. The only way we will find out is if some insider spills the beans!
