Online Public Relations Thoughts

The Supreme Court has allowed the release of former President Trump's tax returns.  This is an imminent danger to Trump's already maligned reputation.  Every shading of facts to allow deductions and tax avoidance will now become public, and if there are outright fabrications, criminal charges will follow.  Trump's hold on millions of voters might well weaken if his tax returns show him to be a liar and a cheat.  A conviction of any kind for false reporting will only turn the public more deeply against him.  He might have many Republicans on his side but they are a minority and are unlikely to elect him again to high office.  If Trump, as is his usual, tries to bully and sue his way through any legal action, he will come against a determined prosecutor and a likely nonpartisan jury.  There is little he can do to protect himself.
