14. Trump Refuses To Release Tax Returns

It's a tradition that presidential candidates typically release their tax returns ahead of the election, though Trump refused to do so, claiming he was under an audit at the time, even though this does not prevent someone from releasing their tax returns.

The New York Times then suggested that Trump may have actually not paid tax for up to twenty years after claiming gigantic losses in the mid-1990s, and Trump near enough admitted to using a tax loophole such as this in the second presidential debate.

To his credit, he played it off well, and was adamant he committed no legal wrong-doing, but it still seems incredibly shady coming from someone so wealthy.

Will we ever see Trump's tax returns? Who knows?
