“Last week, Trump reiterated his refusal to release the tax returns, insisting that journalists were the only ones interested in the documents. Yet polling data has consistently shown that ‘a majority of Americans want to know what’s in Trump’s tax records,’ notes PolitiFact.”
“Former President Barack Obama created the webpage for citizen petitions on the White House web site in 2011 as part of a promise to make government more open to the people. If a petition garnered 100,000 signatures within 30 days, it would elicit an official White House response within 60 days.”

“The Constitution is often majestically vague, but here it is stingingly clear: With his foreign cash flows continuing unabated, Trump is on the verge of violating America’s fundamental law.”

say what you want against the orange faced guy but when you have this many people eating 3 times a day directly because of you I couldn’t care less if you pay 0$ in taxes. Those journalists most likely have 0 people on their payroll and have never hired another person in their lifetime.
Polls show how respondents answered the questions they were asked. The results of polls are empirical facts, even if they contain non-sampling errors as well as sampling errors. I wonder if you are not able to figure out statistics because you seem not to “believe in” polls.
"While the topic of the inauguration attendance was trivial, that Trump’s team was immediately willing to deny reality from the world’s most powerful office alarmed figures across the political spectrum. Reince Priebus, Trump’s chief of staff, also echoed Trump’s false claims in interviews on Sunday."

Does this logic make sense? I don’t think so. It goes without saying that jouonalsts are not real estate businessmen. Your comments are simply nonsense. You have to improve your skills in argumentum ad hominem.
The follwing is from the first article in this thread:
“‘The unprecedented economic conflicts of this administration need to be visible to the American people, including any pertinent documentation which can reveal the foreign influences and financial interests which may put Donald Trump in conflict with the emoluments clause of the Constitution,’ reads the brief description of the petition."
The writer of this article did what he is supposed to do. Your comment is absurdly beside the point.
You’ll have to forgive me for my technological ineptitude but I don’t see how that a photo from the podium area contradicts the aerial photo provided by reuters posted in the Guardian. Are you saying it’s fabricated? I’d be interested to see real evidence of that if you have any.
Trump’s press secretary said, “This was the largest audience ever to witness an inauguration, period,”
a claim that all reputable sources I’ve seen dispute. Do you seriously believe that? Again, I would say such an outrageously false claim by someone of such high standing is deserving of scrutiny.
I don’t think the press have much moral high ground to moan about lies right now?
I did find this nonsense about crowd sizes weird. But I think I’ve figured out what it was about. Trump’s people wanted THAT to be the story, rather than have the media focusing on the massive protest march of the angry puss-in-boots mob.
