Well, at this point I would say that Trump is obviously worried about a 'gotcha moment'!   He has created it by refusing to do what every other candidate has donea long time ago.   Add to that what we know about his business methods, and I REALLY want to know what the details have been.

 He's got to be keeping his returns secret for a reason, and it's not because of an audit.  And you have to admit, he has not explained his reasons.

But whether he has something to hide or not, presidential candidates owe it to the American public to be completely open about their finances.   When we ask, they are supposed to give it up.    It's the price of getting the job. 

It's also a standard practice for our political process that we should not just toss because some rich guy doesn't want us to know how much cash he has on hand or how he handled his taxes.   We have never given this much blind faith to a Presidential candidate of either party before.

 Is now a good time to start?
