I thought we already knew that. The interest is in a) does he really ha a successful business (as he claims) and/or has he been fiddling?
Purplebricks, the embattled online estate agent, is making more than 10 per cent of its workforce redundant as part of a programme due to end two days before Christmas. Elland beating the competition.
You don't think the recently successful lawsuit, by the Manhattan DA, for $250 million, is relevant ? How about the jail sentence for his CFO ? Trump has continually demonstrated a reckless contempt for the law. The question is: Will the DOJ have the courage to indict him ?
Why would you want to see them ? She's not run for president, so has no obligation to release them, unlike Trump who did But Trump thinks he shouldn't have to, and fought tooth and nail for years to avoid releasing his tax returns.
I don't know enough about the case but a company doing some dodgy stuff is usually different from an individual doing something illegal, I don't know why that should be but is how it seems to work. I agree that it does all tend to reinforce the view that his only regard for rules is when they benefit him otherwise they are simply guidelines. As for him being indicted, his announcement that he is running for president in 2024 was well timed and has potentially thrown a spanner in the works. The law enforcement departments in the US appear to have rules that prevent them from influencing politics, so I suspect he's hoping to have bought some time. Even though it didn't stop Comey in the 2016 elections releasing and commenting on the Clintons emails right up to the weekend before voting.
Yes, it is different. But if the Trump Organization flaunted tax law so grossly and on so many occasions, you have to think that those running the company don't hold tax law in high regard. Indeed the CFO of the Trump Organization was recently convicted of tax fraud and given a jail sentence. There's no smoke without fire, and coupled with Trump's outrageous tax returns, and his years long fight to keep them from public scrutiny, only the supremely naive would think him innocent of tax fraud/evasion on a grand scale. Rules in the USA demand that the president's taxes are audited, yesterday we find that the IRS had not done that. Imagine the outrage from Trump, Fox News and the right in general, had that been president Obama. They'd scream "deep state" as loud as he could. I'd go further and say Trump exhibits an utter contempt for the law. He thinks himself untouchable. I don't think wants to be president again. When he announced his candidacy in 2015, for the 2016 presidential election, he held a major rally less than 24 hours later. Since announcing a presidential run last month, he's barely left his home, and when we got his stand by for a "special announcement" last week, all it turned out to be was him announcing he was selling NFT's with cheap photo shopped pictures of himself - to much hilarity and derision. No, Trump just wants to stay out of jail and thinks that running for president will shield him until 2025.
