Trump did not reveal his taxes, after so many bankruptcies, he could only get money from Deutsche Bank, and they were indicted for laundering money from the Russian mob. Trump Tower has 100s of Russian mob who bought apartments there, and Trump has always done business with them Trump and Russia have been linked for decades. His own son admitted that's where they get there money. The truth is the truth, deal with it. Besides he sucked at everything he has ever tried

Why We Lie to Ourselves

Technology only makes willful ignorance and self-deception easier.

But we actually do understand some things — namely, that what drives self-deception and willful ignorance is the common denominator of selfishness that drives much of human behavior. Studies have demonstrated that leaders who make bad decisions with harmful outcomes — but are willfully ignorant about those decisions — are usually punished less .. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0014292114001032 .. than straight-up dictators. Other researchers have pegged deliberate ignorance .. http://pps.sagepub.com/content/11/3/359.full.pdf+html .. as an emotion regulation and regret avoidance device, a way to avoid liability while also driving performance. We can think of it like Melodonium .. https://www.inverse.com/article/12514-what-is-meldonium-and-why-did-it-cause-maria-sharapova-to-fail-a-drug-test , only instead of swallowing a pill you tell yourself that your housemates really would want you to eat the rest of cake you originally said you would save. Yeah, sure.
