President Trump has said he is now more than willing to release his tax returns, but can’t because of a terrible tragedy.

“Unfortunately the only copies of my tax returns were kept in a French Cathedral for safekeeping, and are now lost.”

Trump said he hide the tax returns in a ‘yuge place of worship’ when he was in Paris for Bastille Day.

“I figured keeping them overseas was best.”

He says he hide them high up near the roof of a tall old building on an island in the Seine.

“Such a shame. If only the flying water tankers had gotten there sooner!”
