📌After Trump purchased 40 Wall St. he re-named it the Trump Building.

📌To this day, Trump maintains that he paid only $1 million for the property, but conflicting reports indicate that he actually paid $10 million for it.

40 Wall Street, one of the properties bought in the early 80's by J. J. & R.E. Bernstein, found later to be acting on behalf of Ferdinand E. MARCOS, the late President of the Philippines & later placed in limbo when the Marcos assets were frozen in the US

Hmmmm...

“What if Paul Manafort is the one who helped escort Marcos' billions out of Philippines, & then handed it to Jeffrey Epstein to "manage"?”

📌Paul Manafort’s Wild and Lucrative Philippine Adventure

📌As Ferdinand Marcos used his fortune to cling to power, he found an ally in Trump’s campaign chairman.

Forgive me, I digressed #Connection...back to 40 Wall Street...
📌On 9/11, Trump remarked he now had the tallest building (40 Wall St) in Lower Manhattan. He didn’t.

📌Trump's habit of exaggerating or misrepresenting the effects of NYC’s worst terrorist attack on him personally began the afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001

📌Trump still owns 40 Wall St., and he maintains that it has a value of approximately $400 million (2014). While the building is still officially on the market, there have been no offers that have met Trump's estimated value.

While there are plenty of legitimate businesses at 40 Wall St, Bloomberg found that shady companies or businesspeople could, & did, snatch up offices at the Trump Building to get themselves a Wall Street address and the cachet that comes along with it.
