‘[Trump’s] properties have become bazaars for collecting money directly from lobbyists, foreign officials and others seeking face time, access or favor; the records for the first time put precise dollar figures on those transactions.‘ nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Trump made $73 million from foreign sources in his first two years in the White House, including millions in licensing deals in the Philippines, India, and Turkey: 
‘In Azerbaijan, Mr. Trump collected $5 million on a hotel deal and reported $1.1 million in consulting fees’
.@IvankaTrump, who oversaw the crooked dealings at Trump’s Azerbaijan property, appears to have been part of one of the efforts to con the IRS:
Trump ‘is personally responsible for loans and other debts totaling $421 million, with most of it coming due within four years.’
Will always be remarkable that the U.S. president is tangled up directly with some of the most corrupt, kleptocratic families in Azerbaijan.
Good day to revisit this thread from one of the best books I’ve read this year:

Has any previous American president ever been convicted of any crimes, let alone seen any jail time, post-presidency?
