Most people never bought into the “only reporters care about my tax returns” fallacy that Donald Trump loves to espouse. It is and always has been a flimsy excuse, but for the small subset of America that thinks he could be right…they were proven dead wrong today!
In our nation’s capital, 25,000 people alone marched for the cause of getting Trump to show his taxes. Tax March Chicago was one of over 200 marches and rallies held in cities today across not just the United States of America, but the entire world.
Yes, the world, not just the U.S.! #TaxMarch shot up to the #1 trending term on Twitter nationally this morning, and it’s remained in the top slot all day.
Thousands of protestors and demonstrators showed up for Tax March Chicago, reminding us all why the call of Trump to release his tax returns is the most popular petition on White House.Gov, with over one million signatures! There was also a major demonstration at Trump Tower Chicago, the same site which witnessed hundreds of people “mooning” the edifice in February (video here).
The main aim of that demonstration a couple months ago was actually the same as this one- to get Trump to finally show his tax returns.
