I just finished watching the president’s news conference and am amazed at how, to Donald Trump, everything is about Donald Trump.

Watching him continuously stroke his own ego instead of answering the questions asked left me nauseated. When comparing the dignity of President Barack Obama’s farewell address to Donald Trump’s childish arguing with reporters, I have to ask myself how the American people could have elected such a narcissist.

And in response to his comment that “nobody cares” that he didn’t release his taxes, I reply: WRONG!

The American people DO care, and he owes it to the people to prove (as all his predecessors, as well as Hillary Clinton, have proven) that he has no conflicts of interest between his elected position and his personal financial holdings.

Why won’t he release his taxes? What will they reveal that he does not want the American people to know? His excuse that his returns are under audit is a sham. The IRS has already said that a return under audit can be released.

So what is he hiding?
