F’ing grifters, the entire Trump clan.

Here is a reader's comment from the linked article that is spot on.

benign tripwire

Once again, this provides insight into Trump's desire to criminalize anything for his own personal benefit. It's small, compared to the Special Counsel activities, yet it is revealing.

At this point, it is impossible to believe that Special Counsel has nothing on Trump: They've got it all - from illegal campaign activities, organized crime pursuits, conspiracy with Russians and other foreign entities to financial fraud, obstruction and treason.

Trump is so clueless.

The business world that Trump and other developers operate, it does not matter, as long as there are people to invest money. In Trump's case though, there is an additional benefit, it will be an edifice to him.

How else can a person have five bankruptcies to his credit and yet is a billionaire? It's all about OPM and now he will have a much easier time raising money, especially in Asia. He is probably already a hero to people in China and N. Korea.

Four bankruptcies and none were personal. https://www.thesimpledollar.com/dona...personal-debt/

Trump's just keeping one of his campaign promise to make money while President.

Both of us are wrong then and may I invoke my avatar again? You OTOH are answerable to the modman.

Fact Check: Has Trump declared bankruptcy four or six times?

“You’ve taken business bankruptcies six times.”
–Hillary Clinton

“On occasion – four times – we used certain laws that are there.”

–Donald Trump

THE FACT CHECKER | Clinton is correct.

Trump’s companies have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which means a company can remain in business while wiping away many of its debts. The bankruptcy court ultimately approves a corporate budget and a plan to repay remaining debts; often shareholders lose much of their equity.

Trump’s Taj Mahal opened in April 1990 in Atlantic City, but six months later, “defaulted on interest payments to bondholders as his finances went into a tailspin,” The Washington Post’s Robert O’Harrow found. In July 1991, Trump’s Taj Mahal filed for bankruptcy. He could not keep up with debts on two other Atlantic City casinos, and those two properties declared bankruptcy in 1992. A fourth property, the Plaza Hotel in New York, declared bankruptcy in 1992 after amassing debt.

PolitiFact uncovered two more bankruptcies filed after 1992, totaling six. Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts filed for bankruptcy again in 2004, after accruing about $1.8 billion in debt. Trump Entertainment Resorts also declared bankruptcy in 2009, after being hit hard during the 2008 recession.

Why the discrepancy? Perhaps this will give us an idea: Trump told Washington Post reporters that he counted the first three bankruptcies as just one.

Bonus points for Hillary too.

And to be politically correct, I credited Trump with those bankruptcies without claiming they were personal. Because if they were......never mind.

Can anyone imagine the hue and cry from the right if Pres. Obama had been photographed saluting a North Korean general?

Squirrel!

edit - I heard that Kellyanne Conjob was comparing the Orange Shartcannon's poll numbers to a real president's numbers at the same time in Obama's presidency. Guess what happened in the 2010 midterms? (grin)

"The New York State attorney general’s office filed a scathingly worded lawsuit on Thursday taking aim at the Donald J. Trump Foundation, accusing the charity and the Trump family of sweeping violations of campaign finance laws, self-dealing and illegal coordination with the presidential campaign.
The lawsuit, which seeks to dissolve the foundation and bar President Trump and three of his children from serving on nonprofit organizations, was an extraordinary rebuke of a sitting president. The attorney general also sent referral letters to the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Election Commission for possible further action, adding to Mr. Trump’s extensive legal challenges.
The lawsuit, filed in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, culminated a nearly two-year investigation of Mr. Trump’s charity, which became a subject of scrutiny during and after the 2016 presidential campaign. While such foundations are supposed to be devoted to charitable activities, the petition asserts that Mr. Trump’s was often improperly used to settle legal claims against his various businesses, even spending $10,000 on a portrait of Mr. Trump that was hung at one of his golf clubs.
The foundation was also used to curry political favor, the lawsuit asserts. During the 2016 race, the foundation became a virtual arm of Mr. Trump’s campaign, email traffic showed, with his campaign manager Corey Lewandowski directing its expenditures, even though such foundations are explicitly prohibited from political activities."

Poor Trumplethinskin and his idiot progeny thought they were going to be able to spin gold out thin air forever. Sad & feckless parasites...

They're are going to have a tough time wriggling out of this one, i.e. his federal power of the pardon won't work against state charges.

Remember this guy? The man who started the ball rolling on Trump's Slush Fund charity. They oughta pin a medal on this guy.
