It only helps me, people like him. The guy was dying. By the way they were going to take him off television, then he started attacking me and he started doing better. But his show was dying. I’ve done his show. … But when I did his show, which by the way was very highly rated. It was high highest rating. The highest rating he’s ever had.

Is English Trump's second language?
There are gorillas that can speak in sign language better than Trump can speak in words....

A light bulb just went off in my head:
One likely reason Trump is so adamant about not releasing his federal tax returns is that they would (or, should) contain various tax forms relating to properties and accounts held outside of the US. I wouldn't be surprised if he (whether personally or through his company) has numerous foreign bank accounts---all of which must be reported every year on the FBAR (now known as the FinCEN 114) form. Although that form is not part of one's tax return, it correlates to it, and failure to file it (or file it accurately) can result in stiff penalties. Same with the various "where are your foreign assets" federal tax forms.
If Ryan and McConnell were involved in GOP fundraising (which is a reasonable assumption to make), and some of the monies got funneled into Trump's personal and/or campaign accounts (again, a likely occurrence, at least as to the latter) from outside-US accounts (wild speculation) in which Ryan and/or McConnell had an interest (as defined under the FinCEN rules), could Ryan and McConnell be implicated in a FBAR, tax-fraud, or failure-to-file tax fiasco?
I can only imagine what a special or independent prosecutor might end up finding, which is likely why neither believe that one is necessary. After all, Clinton wasn't impeached over a failed land deal.....
