I do think there's enough evidence to warrant some investigating, if only to prove that Trump isn't hiding something. What other possible reason could Trump have to not release his taxes?

I was hit in a crosswalk by a drunk driver, luckily had a guitar with me and held up the case in front of me. I woke up surrounded by people peering down at me. Miraculously, nothing was broken, but I could barely move the next day. My guitar was not so lucky!
I was 18, broke, and living on my own, so when the driver's insurance company offered to pay for my guitar, the ambulance, and the emergency room, I jumped at the offer.
Later I found out it was the editor of a women's magazine, with prior DUI offenses. I've often joked that I could have made a pile of money.

I'm in a congregation with only home schooled kids that are a lost cause, definitely members of the janitor/window washer class.
My oldest son (degree in computer science) is a ministerial servant in a congregation where the majority of those his age have degrees. It's the "hot" congregation in our district.
One congregation is depressing, the other a delight. One concentrates on Armageddon to end their misery, the other is enjoying life.
My hope is that the contrast will wake up many (my son included) to the bad advice the Organization is giving on how to lead a "happy" life.

So how do you screen out the extremists that want to establish Shariah law in the US? Have a question on the vetting forms?
So we should include countries where Shariah is the law of the land in the immigration ban.

As far as I'm concerned, if none of the news media can be trusted on both the right and the left, all that's left are the raw facts that can be proved. Donald Trump lies more blatantly than any President in my lifetime. I don't care if other Presidents have lied, he is undoubtedly the Champion, spouting the most lies in the least amount of time.
So, based solely on his character, I choose not to support him, any more than I would any other liar.
So far, his ill-conceived immigration ban was a bust, due to bad planning. He obviously had absolutely no plan whatsoever for healthcare. His secret plan for defeating Isis was non-existent, and his wall is still in limbo.
This is obvious to anyone not in denial, and I won't bother arguing with you, because absolutely nothing is going to change your mind.
So, we'll just have to wait. At some point, one side is going to be gloating, while the other eats crow. It's still too early to claim a winner.
I happen to believe that supporting someone based upon his character is as good a way as any, so I'll choose not to support Trump.

The most anxiety free families in my congregation are those with money, family business dynasties, and large support groups of JW relatives. The rest of us are waiting on Jehovah.

The most disturbing thing about this whole Swedish statement, is that Trump uses Fox news for his security briefings.
Unless you think Fox is the standard for unbiased reporting.

Unless there is some huge conspiracy of the Iluminati controlling the world media, I'm going to go with whoever has the preponderance of provable rhetoric and actions. When Breitbart, Fox and Infowars begin to portray a reality that jibes with what I see and hear coming from Trump's mouth, I'll consider weighing all the news equally. I can't help but side with organizations that present a reality I see with my own eyes. My bad.
Meanwhile, I'll say a prayer for all those poor people in Sweden.

No matter how slanted the MSM may be, a lot of their reporting is simply pointing out obvious lies from Trump and his administration. If I watch an unedited video of Trump I don't need anyone to tell me that he's an inveterate liar.
Some people on this site obviously get all their information from Fox, Breitbart, Infowars, and various social media, with no attempt to verify any of the information before reposting it and disseminating it to others just like themselves.
I don't care if Obama and Hillary did things in the past that people don't like. I've researched enough to satisfy myself about their innocence or guilt on the various charges against them. But that's in the past. Get over it.
Trump is undoubtedly the most unabashed public liar we have ever seen in the White House. The size of the crowds at his inauguration, the millions of illegal voters, biggest Electoral College win since Reagan, I could fill pages with his fantasies.
If all the media did was post his speeches and Tweets verbatim, then fact check them, many on this site would call that bias. I'm not even going to bother arguing with you.
If you want to defend Trump using his actual words and actions, I'll be glad to discuss them with you. If you bring up Obama, Clinton, Benghazi, emails, Clinton Foundation, or anything not pertaining to Trump, then you're not worth my time.
Trump has promised more things, and signed more EO's in a shorter period of time than any President in our history. He's also sent no legislation to Congress. The only real action was a poorly thought out ban on immigration that created chaos.
So, if you want to debate, then debate on the merits of his words and actions. I don't care if someone else was worse.
I don't hate Trump, I just believe that he is the most incompetent man ever elected to the office of President, and I think totally unbiased reporting will prove it.
