    jeez.

    If he had taken that money and parked it in T-bills, he would be vastly wealthier than he is now.

    He really is a ty businessman.


    The 15,000-word Times report contradicts Trump's portrayal of himself as a self-made billionaire who started with just a $1 million loan from his father.

    The Times says Trump and his father, Fred, avoided gift and inheritance taxes by setting up a sham corporation and undervaluing assets to tax authorities. The Times says its report is based on more than 100,000 pages of financial do ents, including confidential tax returns from the father and his companies.
    A lawyer for Trump, Charles J. Harder, told The Times that there was no "fraud or tax evasion" and that the facts cited in the report are "extremely inaccurate."

    The White House dismissed the report as a "misleading attack against the Trump family by the failing New York Times." It criticized the newspaper and other media outlets, saying their low credibility with the public is "because they are consumed with attacking the president and his family 24/7 instead of reporting the news."

    The New York state tax department told The Associated Press that it was reviewing the allegations in The Times and "is vigorously pursuing all appropriate avenues of investigation." The department typically refers findings to the state attorney general's office.

    The Times said the Trump family hid millions of dollars of transfers from the father to his children through a sham company owned by the children called All County Building Supply & Maintenance. It was set up in 1992 ostensibly as a purchasing agent to supply Fred Trump's buildings with boilers, cleaning supplies and other goods, and the father would pad invoices with markups of 20 percent or even 50 percent, thereby avoiding gift taxes, the newspaper reported.

    yep, I read a couple years ago that if Trash had taken the $40M he admitted his slum landlord gave and put in the stocks and bonds, he'd be worth 3 times as much.

    does not change a lot... you did not need to be a genius to figure out he is not the self made man he wants us to believe

    it won't change a thing for his supporters this just confirms he is a massive POS but we all already know that

    btw, all this tax fraud is a huge hoax on the american people. everyone looks for losses etc when doing taxes and that's more so common for business men/women alike. djt isn't frauding anyone or evading anything... yall just mad because he's used legal means to cut his taxes down like all other smart business people do. i try to write off whatever i can as long as it is within the means to do so when it comes to my taxes. to do otherwise would mean you're a ty business man/woman.

    Trump used his wealth to go bankrupt.

    His wealth was literally gone. zero.

    He rebuilt it by laundering money for Russian mafia figures, and the Iranian Republican guard (baku project)

    So many anonymous LLCs own his condos for that reason.

    Do you regularly hire contractors, not pay them, wait for them to file suit, then wait until all their money is gone and they are drowning in legal fees and they are willing to settle for pennies on the dollar?

    do you run a large business or have any clue as to run a large business? doubt it but you claim to know everything about it.

    all you s here are just like those who play arm chair gm. yall think yall know everything but yall know not a god damn thing. that's reality whether you want to accept it or not.

    Donald Trump's "origin story was a sham — a version of reality so elaborately embellished that it qualifies as fan fiction more than biography."

    The reality is that he has repeatedly and brazenly done these things with no consequences. Why you choose to ignore that I do not know. There are thousands of pages of court do ents backing it up. If you were to argue people/businesses shouldn't enter into contracts with such a person I could see your point, but instead you deflect.

    you claim this or that without knowing the scenarios you speak of intimately. they're all talking points from MSM and the like. you don't live in reality man.

    ever done business with contractors? they suck! my parents got ripped off building onto their house by a reputable contractor. they screwed them out of 15 sq ft, ed up the floor plans, blamed everyone but themselves, took 6 extra months to build, and still charged the initial est.

    contactors aren't saints even though that's what you're trying to paint them as.
