Trump is broke broke broke. What a phony. What a loser.

The debts coming due in the next few years, which he personally guaranteed, would ruin him...although he's already ruined.

This looks mobby to me: "That equation is a key element of the alchemy of Mr. Trump’s finances: using the proceeds of his celebrity to purchase and prop up risky businesses, then wielding their losses to avoid taxes."

Also mobster stuff: "Mr. Trump has an established track record of stiffing his lenders. But the tax returns reveal that he has failed to pay back far more money than previously known: a total of $287 million since 2010."

What a piece of shit.

Seize it all.
"If the auditors ultimately disallow Mr. Trump’s $72.9 million federal refund, he will be forced to return that money with interest...a total that could exceed $100 million. He could also be ordered to return the state & local refunds based on the same claims."

Vanky in trouble.

"Another, more legally perilous possibility is that the fees were a way to transfer assets to his children without incurring a gift tax."
