  • Susanne Craig has spent the past 6 years doggedly investigating Donald Trump’s financial matters, and she’s received a Pulitzer for her work. Following New York Attorney General Letitia James’ civil suit against Trump and his three eldest children alleging that they engaged in business fraud by inflating assets and misrepresenting their worth to financial institutions, she doesn’t mince her words: “He deceived them, he lied to them, and he certified it year after year for personal gain.” This isn’t the only legal trouble for the Trump family, but it could be devastating if they lose the lawsuit and are made to pay hundreds of millions of dollars. “You can see it’s very hard in that information to find any one of his businesses that makes money,” Craig tells Ali Velshi. “This isn’t somebody who’s walking around with a huge amount of cash just to be able to settle a case.”

      @Zepparella Dakunish The Democrats are communists and they plan to completely destroy America and rebuild it as a communist state. The day is coming when you will own nothing and you will be happy or else. Democrats don't want a prosperous country or constitutional rights and they don't want freedom of speech. Democrats want Americans to pay three times more for gasoline, food, and rent. Democrats want our children to be taught racism in school so that our country will be forever divided. Democrats want millions of illegal immigrants pouring into our country to further burden American taxpayers and break down the economy. Democrats and Biden are hiring 87,000 additional IRS agents to impoverish a population already devastated by planned inflation. To usher in their new communist state Biden and his democrat supporters are doing everything they can to cripple the economy and destroy the values and morality of the American people. Americans are continuously propagandized and lied to by the globalist media. If the American people and American families attempt to assemble with the American flag in defiance of the communist Democrats they are labeled by the globalist media as Nazis, white supremacists, terrorists, and MAGA and mobbed by gangs of George Soros paid black lives matter, antifa, and corrupt police. If the Democrats rig the midterms and the 2024 presidential election, freedom of speech and constitutional rights will be a distant memory and America will be a communist state.

AND his valuations were done by the largest firm in the US, so it's quite difficult to say he defrauded the banks. The AG didn't start a prosecution against him - most of the people screaming for him to go to jail failed to notice that it was a civil case taken up on behalf of alleged victims (the IRS and the Banks) but the alleged victims have NOT made any complaints, so this is all BS.

      I'll never forget the daily chaos caused by Trump's whirlwind of incompetence and corruption. The guy could not endure to be out of the spotlight for half a second and could not stop lying in order to keep in it. He damaged so many American institutions, damaged relationships with American allies to the point that the whole world is wary of this country ever being trustworthy again even though they are relieved to have a "normal" government right now under Biden. He did nothing to try to accomplish any of the "promises" he made such as lowering prescription drug prices, other than ensuring his own taxes got lowered, and making some half-assed attempts at putting up bits of "wall" on the border which was a stupid and destructive idea in the first place. He wrecked international trade and nuclear control agreements, basing all his actions on his personal prejudices, petty revenge to undo good actions by Obama (who he is insanely jealous of), and short-sighted advice from the idiots he surrounded himself with. He put unqualified and antagonistic people in charge of agencies specifically to destroy them, like the post office and the department of education. He spewed fake news constantly while calling any truthful documentation of his misbehavior "fake news." He mishandled Covid to the point that the United States had one of the worst per capita death rates on the planet, and there is still chaos in the public health field thanks to his lies and distortion. He and his family did grift plenty of money on the side though! That such a charlatan ever was allowed to run for president, never mind got elected, does not speak well for the intelligence and awareness of a large part of the American population.
