Trump’s Empire: A Maze of Debts and Opaque Ties

He’d not only spend much time in civil court during his would be presidency with his back logged cases but he’d not be working for you as he claims, he’d be working for himself to get out of debt.

http://gawker.com/report-trumps-real-estate-holdings-are-at-least-650-m-1785539977
“On the campaign trail, Donald J. Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has sold himself as a businessman who has made billions of dollars and is beholden to no one.

But an investigation by The New York Times into the financial maze of Mr. Trump’s real estate holdings in the United States reveals that companies he owns have at least $650 million in debt — twice the amount than can be gleaned from public filings he has made as part of his bid for the White House. The Times’s inquiry also found that Mr. Trump’s fortunes depend deeply on a wide array of financial backers, including one he has cited in attacks during his campaign.

For example, an office building on Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan, of which Mr. Trump is part owner, carries a $950 million loan. Among the lenders: the Bank of China, one of the largest banks in a country that Mr. Trump has railed against as an economic foe of the United States, and Goldman Sachs, a financial institution he has said controls Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, after it paid her $675,000 in speaking fees.

Real estate projects often involve complex ownership and mortgage structures. And given Mr. Trump’s long real estate career in the United States and abroad, as well as his claim that his personal wealth exceeds $10 billion, it is safe to say that no previous major party presidential nominee has had finances nearly as complicated.

As president, Mr. Trump would have substantial sway over monetary and tax policy, as well as the power to make appointments that would directly affect his own financial empire. He would also wield influence over legislative issues that could have a significant impact on his net worth, and would have official dealings with countries in which he has business interests…”

Wishful speculations about Trump’s possible future financial actions are not related to the reality of Hillary’s factual past financial actions.

…but unlike Hillary’s case, the media will no doubt be very attentive to the situation to insure Trump’s ethics.

Another shocking case of racist white police killing an unarmed black man.

https://youtu.be/Bugp5uiYRPA

What was most disturbing about this video was how the policeman hesitated shooting until he was already being beaten with the stick.

He should have fired as soon as the attacker came at him…

…but that would be racist… or something.

Stupid Drumpf is so stupid when he asks a question he pretends as though he’s able to answer it himself i.e. “Where is Hillary?” She’s sleeping! Drumpf’s comprehension of English is so bad I don’t know whether his or Bush #2’s is worse? He can’t say…”I’m not a politician” to escape the English stupidity club. For you poorly educated that love Drumpf let me give you an English lesson…If you ask a “where” question it should contain a place in the answer but Drumpf is so stupid that he thinks answering his own stupid question by telling us what he only thinks Hillary is doing doesn’t suffice. And ya’ll want this dummy as your president 😕

Spending more on merchandise, stickers/hats than employees

Cancelling engagements, polls show Hillary leading in Colorado, 12 year old boy runs Drumpf campaign in county of swing state(CO). In rally spearheaded, Drumpf Fantasizes about “people getting shot walking down streets,” and why are Drumpf staffers social media accounts loaded with racist comments/images? Now, the GOP party is running Drumpf’s campaign as it flip-flops on immigration or not???

Brierbart/racist now controlling Drumpf :mrgreen:

And for our first round of provocations, what do we have?
A series of mines planted in Panmunjom!
http://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/un-north-korea-plants-mines-near-korean-border-village/
Oh, those whacky North Koreans! What will they think of next?!

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The American-led U.N. Command in South Korea on Tuesday accused North Korea of planting land mines near a truce village inside the Demilitarized Zone that divides the two Koreas.

Much of the border, one of the world’s most dangerous flashpoints, is strewn with land mines and laced with barbed wire. But South Korean media said no land mines had been planted in the area of the truce village of Panmunjom until North Korea placed an unspecified number there last week.

Any why would they do such a thing? Do they think American and ROK forces are going to stream in through the village on their way to capture or kill Fatty Kim? Maybe not…

The U.N. Command said in a statement that it “strongly condemns” any North Korean action that jeopardizes the safety of personnel in the DMZ.

It said it wouldn’t speculate on why North Korea placed the mines there. Yonhap news agency, citing an unidentified South Korean government official, said the North apparently planted the mines to prevent front-line North Korean soldiers from defecting to South Korea via Panmunjom.

Really? Mines to keep your own theoretically second most loyal soldiers from running away? If they had to maneuver to capture the JSA, wouldn’t mines on your own side be a bit of a hindrance?

I wonder if we’re going to get a couple of near starved North Korean soldiers slipping across the border and knocking on the barracks door, hoping for food like we did back in 2010…

Manbang and Chill!
(Settle down CH. That’s not what it means 😉 )
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/north-korea-netflix-163024580.html
North Korea is trying something to give at least a few people something to do with their evenings. Problem is, it looks pretty boring to me.

According to NKnews.org, the set-top box has two primary features: replaying documentary films about Kim Jong Un and his leadership and providing language-learning resources — for Russian and English.

Yay! Watching Fatty praise himself while others look on. That’ll totally get you laid, no doubt! And of course Conjugating Verbs is a major turn on. Somewhere. To someone. Not Judging.

The technical requirements is something out of the early 80s though, except for the HDMI bit.

Users will have to connect a phone line to a modem, plug a cable box into the national network, and connect a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) port to the TV.

Also not true. You lie just like Drumpf but it’s so normal to you it will spread among your hated ones and throughout. Keep promoting bullshyte, it’s becoming of you ❗

Polls say Drumpf’s loosing, Hillary could win S.Carolina while Hillary is already ahead in N. Carolina. Not to mention swing states that Hillary dominates. 😆

Donald Downfall Drumpf is over and yes he’s worse than a racist as history will show ya’ll support as much…
Furthermore…
Not one modern times past GOPer presidential advisor is keen on/will assist ya’lls LoverBoy Don Drumpf.
But Hillary is up by 12 points in new poll, she’ll flip past red states to blue and demolish Drumpf. YES!!!
I figure the next 12 – 16 years at least the USA will have a democrat as your President of the United States.
A black Pres., and now a female Pres., OMG. Let the HATE continue among you white boys.

‘This Neighborhood Does Not Need Any Blacks In It’

You are right, Tbone. History has shown that to be correct for every neighborhood.

Even black neighborhoods don’t do well with blacks in them… unless there is some social advantage to having empty convenience stores with shattered windows and piles of glowing embers where nail salons used to be.

We knew you would come around eventually, Tbone.

Has another rat fled a sinking shop? Hmm…
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/north-korean-diplomat-reportedly-defects-russia-another-high-profile-case-1578097

The article is thin on details, just that a “diplomat” has fled from his duties on Vladivostok.

So if all of Fatty Kim’s meth dealers diplomats skip out on him, how will he make any headway in the world at large?

CH, have you ever wondered whether the drugs (marijuana, crack, meth, spray paint, etc.) used by urban blacks was a Democrat plot to keep them pliable, like the government-supplied drugs in Lucas’ THX 1138? I mean, there are a lot that seem content to wallow in bureaucrat-supplied feculence and beg for more of the same…

The whole alt-right association is weak sauce.

Hillary keeps trying to deflect attention away from her established record of decades of corruption, failure, and shady associations with speculation about Trumps imaginary future.

In the end, the Democrats have had over 50 years to do something for poor blacks… and, apart from hooking up the corrupt black ruling elite with Affirmative Action jobs with inflated pay and the power to destroy cities and communities through graft and (frequently race-based) mismanagement, the Democrats have done little to nothing for average blacks… and harmed poor blacks.

Sooo… Democrat screams of Trump being a racist, despite no evidence of racism, is laughable… and speculation he will somehow be more harmful is also laughable.

Tbone is laughable.

His tiny pen1s is laughable.

Ha!

Trump Knew About Undocumented Workers at His Signature Tower

And he knows his current wife knowingly broke USA immigration laws yet he still married hear
http://time.com/4465744/donald-trump-undocumented-workers/
“In the summer of 1980, Donald Trump faced a big problem. For six months, undocumented Polish laborers had been clearing the future site of Trump Tower, his signature real estate project on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue, where he now lives, maintains his private offices and hosts his presidential campaign…”

Is Trump so pure the media has to scrounge around 30+ years ago to find some minor thing he might have done wrong?

Is Hillary so dirty the media has to ignore serious crimes and ethical breaches she is currently trying to cover up?

No matter how one feels about Trump or his policies, a quick look at all the criminals, scumbags, traitors, anti-Americans, control freaks, and takers who have aligned against him should be a clue that he is the right choice.

Tbone’s hate for Trump alone signals a vote for Trump is correct.

If he weren’t running against Hillary, this might matter just an itty bitty modicum.
But running against a Hillary this decades old complaint is sheer parody.
