Trump has also faced questions about his charitable giving.
Trump has blamed the US news media for taking many of his comments out of context, and on Thursday night, some of his supporters heckled and cursed reporters who covered the rally in a large arena in Kissimmee.
Trump has yet to release his tax returns.
Ms Clinton frequently mentions his returns as a way of underscoring how his economic plans would benefit his personal interests and questioning whether he is as wealthy as he claims.
Bucking decades of tradition, however, Trump has refused to release his tax returns.
“He wants America to work for him and his friends, at the expense of everyone else”, she said, summarizing her campaign’s strategy to portray Trump as a greedy billionaire who only cares about himself.
The Republican and Democratic candidates in the last nine presidential elections – since Ronald Reagan in 1980 – have released tax returns at least for the previous year, according to Politifact.
It’s comments like those that Clinton has seized to try to contrast her “serious, steady leadership” with the more volatile approach she says Trump would take to running the country. Although the claim is unsubstantiated, Clinton is ramping up the pressure on her Republican rival to release, at the very least, prior years of his tax filings that aren’t now being audited. Mr Trump and his campaign had quickly sought to douse the flames, insisting the Republican flagbearer was merely urging gun rights supporters to reject her candidacy at the ballot box.
What’s in Donald Trump’s tax returns?

Trump has said he is worth more than $10 billion, but no one has been able to confirm this independently.

Both candidates chose tightly contested MI – specifically, the Detroit area – to make their updated economic pitches. The former manufacturing powerhouse has been hard hit by the decline of the automobile industry and the real estate market.

After trouncing 16 challengers in the Republican primary, Trump is encountering worrying signs as his campaign moves into the general election. “Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know”.
