NY Times Exposes The Trump Family Empire
 

'The president has long sold himself as a self-made billionaire, but a Times investigation found that he received at least $413 million in today’s dollars from his father’s real estate empire, much of it through tax dodges in the 1990s.' NYT

A deep dive into the Trump family's nefarious dealings. I doubt it'll move the Trump-Ade drinkers much but the NY Times exposes Trump.

He has exposure to civil litigation from NY State and the IRS, and criminal if he did that shit with his own kids within the statute of limitations. I bet his business model is just like his father's. He's not smart enough to figure out his own complicated tax scam.

Looks like the skidmarks have been found.

IIRC Trump's accountant has already been granted immunity. Tax evasion and money laundering are what brought down Al Capone and this chump is no Al Capone.

Heh! :D

We can from now on speak of the failing Trump administration.

Too bad the resident Trumpkins have gone underground. Would love to hear them 'splain this one. :D. I'm not about to listen to Limblow for the wingnut view.

Thing is my guess, his Corrupblican supporters see nothing wrong with failing to pay taxes! Applaud this fact, relish someone able to get over on the Government, never seeing it, in the end they are the ones being cheated.

The creation myth of the billionaire businessman Donald Trump just imploded

I can tell you what Limbaugh is saying without having to check.

~Remember, my friends, the liberal view is that your money is not your money. It is their money, and anything you do to try to keep your money is ROBBERY!~

This thread sent me down the rabbit hole of whatever is the appeal of this unlikely potus, in spite of everything. Two related to links:

The above were quite fascinating, but this one nails the appeal: 'The cruelty is the point'

Thanks, quite a revealing article on Trumpism.

This is the most disturbing parallel to the Third Reich I've yet encountered, an appalling aspect of human nature harnessed for evil purposes.

Two years ago the US was Germany circa 1933. It's now 1935 in NaziAmerica.
