Honestly, when seeking a public office position, there is an expectation of lack of privacy, especially for president. While releasing tax returns isn’t a law, it is a long held precedent that trump broke. He really should have released them as they do contain information that the public has a right to. Releasing them would have been the “ethical” thing to do in the first place. If he valued the privacy of that information so much, then he shouldn’t have run for president.
