He refuses to disclose his tax returns because hes a humble guy, and doesnt want to be seen as bragging about how fabulously wealthy he really is.
He meets with Putin in secret, because hes been trying for years to get Vlads grandmothers closely-guarded borscht recipe.
He wont release documents authored by staffers because some of them contain spelling/grammar mistakes, and hes extremely touchy about that kind of incompetence.
He wont release the unredacted version of the Mueller Report because it totally exonerates him, and hes just not an I-told-you-so kind of guy.
He locked migrant kids in cages because he worries about them crossing the street in a strange country, where they could get hit by a car.
He lies all the time as a test for journalists if they fail to point out his lies, he knows theyre not doing their jobs.
He wont allow those with firsthand knowledge to testify because theyll just go on and on about how hes the best pResident ever and he gets embarrassed by that kind of unfettered adulation.
He wont release audiotapes of his phone calls with Zelensky because they would be useless, given their discussions were in Ukrainian only one of the twenty-two languages Trump is fluent in.
He cancelled Pences trip to Zelenskys inauguration because it might include one-on-one interactions with women, and he didnt want to cause a rift between his VP and Mother Pence.
He uses unsecured cell phones because he doesnt want our intelligence agencies to leak his sweeping future plans for combating climate change.
He spends hours tweeting demeaning remarks about the people who oppose him to demonstrate that, contrary to popular belief, he actually does do things between golf games.
He appoints inept, inexperienced people to positions of power in an effort to be fair and balanced, because these posts have been held far too long by competent, experienced people who actually know what theyre doing.
He stated that the Nazis and white supremacists in Charlottesville were very fine people because hes a uniter, not a divider, who wants to promote a more inclusive America that embraces differing ideologies.
