re: #55 lawhawk

This should get more play, but the basic facts have long been known. Trump essentially keeps two sets of books.

One set inflates his value to banks to secure more credit and loans.

Another minimizes his value to reduce his tax burdens.

In both cases, he’s engaging in fraud. He’s defrauding banks and he’s engaging in tax fraud with state and federal agencies.

We saw this play out when we learned how Trump would market his newly acquired golf resort in Westchester County NY. He claimed he pumped millions into sprucing the place up, but then sought a massive reduction in the property taxes, claiming that the property was decrepit.

Westchester said bulkshit, and noted the other statements Trump made about the value and property improvements, so the tax stood.

He does this over and over, and he’s been doing this for decades.

Two sets of books?
Only two?
