Everything the man does is a crime, a fraud, or a grift. And yet, he continues to walk between the raindrops and not get wet. He deserves to be in prison, but he continues to sit on his golden throne and send out inane texts. So tired of him…
“Worthless” should be trump’s motto.
He sure throws a lotta money around and it seems to disappear as if by magic. Someone should look for off shore bins of cash he may have stashed over the years.
And even before the land in Chicago was purchased Alan Weisselburg had not taken a CPA test.
More fraud committed.
Hopefully this time they’ll also focus set their sights on Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization who oversees all aspects of management and operation of the global real estate empire, including new project acquisition, development and construction.
None of this is surprising. He brags about not paying taxes. DJT makes it difficult for the IRS and its auditors to untangle the mess that was created to benefit him and screw the taxpayers. He’s a liar, cheat, and a fraud.
Capitalism produces people like him via inheritance. If you couldn’t pass on power to the wholly unqualified like that the human race would evolve more in the next 20 years than it has in the last hundred.
We need to sheer ourselves of the vestiges of the animal. Money is the blood of the country, and we cannot afford leeches, or vampires either.
Unfortunately, this is the kind of tax case (novel scheme, high stakes, litigious taxpayer, DJT as test case) that will be litigated into oblivion.

Well, we know that Putin & MBS will pay it off for him, heck even the oil industry here in States will as he’s so corrupt
Indeed. We could take down Capone on tax fraud yet DJT can’t be caught & convicted? He has utterly dismantled 200 plus years of democracy, NATO is laughing at us.
How soon will tweet about how unfair the IRS is being to Donnie will be sent? Followed up of course with an beg for money to keep “your favorite President out of jail”.
There goes another $100 million from the RNC.
All those national secrets Fat Boy kept at Mar-a-Shithole have to be worth something.
And his minions applaud him for sticking it to the government in ways they can only dream of.
The whole saga, not just this one but all of 'em, simply don’t point to the US as being a true law and order country. This should’ve shut the guy up a decade or more ago.
And a hero to the downtrodden. Seriously.
If you are in Vermont, try going out tonight between 11:00pm and midnight to observe the Northern LIghts. According to the Aurora forecast tonight and tomorrow night will produce.
Got the same message from my app, Aurora. General consensus is 10p - 2a, but we’re under cloud cover here until sometime Monday. I’ll still try to see them.
I’ve seen pictures from last night that had cloudy skies. Hope you can see them.
Now we know why Trump is so freaked out by the NY criminal case: he’s going to be left without any money to pay for diet Cokes and hamburgers at the prison commissary.
About $2 billion to Jared, is my guess.
