'I don't think Congress, particularly not this group of congressmen and women, are smart enough to look through the thousands of pages that I would assume that president Trump’s taxes will be,” press secretary Sarah Sanders said.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders spent Sunday morning in full defense of President Trump on everything from his reluctance to release his taxes to his change of heart on WikiLeaks and tweeted attacks on a Muslim congresswoman.

Democrats, empowered after the 2018 elections gave them control of the House, requested six years of the president’s personal and business tax returns under a provision in the federal tax code that says the IRS “shall furnish” any filer’s tax return information to the chairs of three congressional committees “upon written request.”

And speaking of 2016, Sanders also on “Fox News Sunday” attempted to clarify Trump’s “deal” with WikiLeaks after its founder, Julian Assange, was arrested last week. In Wilmington, Ohio, five days later, Trump said that as he was “getting off the plane, they were just announcing new WikiLeaks, and I wanted to stay there, but I didn’t want to keep you waiting.”“Certainly, we take this serious,” said Sanders on Sunday as she credited Assange’s arrest to the Trump administration. “We’re the only ones that have taken this whole process seriously and actually did something to solve the problem.

Republicans zeroed in on the line “some people did something,” which they considered a flippant description of the terrorists and their actions, and on Saturday, Trump tweeted a video splicing together Omar’s comments and footage of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Not all of Congress just the Democrats...

And Sarah is correct!

It’s time to replace the aging AirForce1 with a newer sleeker Boeing 737 Max.

Smarter than her

Trump is not smart to do anything

Most members of Congress don't use 'hooker donations' as a tax deduction.

Even a long return is just reading English and doing straightforward arithmetic. It’s not quadratic equations or anything. I think they will do just fine. As for Sarah, 🤷🏻‍♀️

Most members of Congress keep their tax returns secret

Said the woman whose brain can only be detected with an electron microscope.
