How Trump Got Rich: The Real Story

With her recent bombshell New York Times front-page story, investigative reporter Susanne Craig helped debunk President Trump’s claim of being a self-made billionaire. For more than a year, Craig and two colleagues followed an unwieldy paper trail, documenting deliberate tax manoeuvres that increased the wealth Trump received from his parents, including acts of outright fraud. Craig discusses the complexities of reporting on Trump, money and politics in this conversation with investigative journalist Julian Sher.

AND refused to pay many, many contractors for work that was completed on his casinos and other projects. When he did pay, it was often 10-20% of what he actually owed and he would tell them that if they didn't accept that as payment in full, they could try suing him; knowing that these small companies couldn't hire lawyers to go against his big lawyers. He would claim that the work wasn't done on time or was shoddy even when that wasn't the case. .. Basically looking for an excuse not to pay.

That disgusted me to no end, knowing many were Section 8 housing and those people NEEDED a home and his racist ass refused to rent to them. Then add on his lies (just in general), the hate and division he brought this nation to, the Putin Helsinki closed door talk, then he tells an international press corp that he believes Putin instead of our intelligence community about bounties on the heads of our soldiers, the deal he made with the Taliban, his blatant disregard for the people of this country during a pandemic and making a deadly virus along with the vaccines to keep people from dying, political fodder. Then when we add in his BIG LIE, his phone call to Raffenspurger, all of the fraudits and recounts he pushed all while gathering the donations for his "election integrity" PAC, and didn't pay for ANY OF IT. He pocketed all of that money, or his family and friends did. Which allowed us taxpayers to pay for the audits and recounts, plus the replacement voting machines they messed up. Then Jan 6, which he topped off with stealing our NATIONAL SECURITY SECRETS. He is a TRE45ONOUS BASTARD and he needs to rot in prison.

At no time in this interview did I hear mention of FT Jr. or who sent the manila envelope with the tax info that got the ball rolling on the investigation.

The real story is that he isn't. He has ratcheted money out of corporations with serial bankruptcies, paying himself the wealth his companies then can't pay back.

Great journalism !!!

[@coreyham3753]

Yes, it was. Kudos to the NYT and their staffers for this top notch work.

[@thernandez2]

I love Susanne Craig!

@Lisa S I suppose Oz will lose..and Oprah Winfrey...has something to do with it. I believe, she cares about her dogs, and seeing that Dr. Oz, killed many for Research...she cut him a loose!

[@ronniedelahoussayechauvin6717]

So Much Deception Behind The Crimes😢

[@b.h.2819]

[@woodysdrums8083]

Q: How do you spell "Trump"? A: Crook.

[@ase2060]

You need a book to explain how a person inherit millions to explain how he made his millions?

[@MikeCarrick]

Yes, when the subject is a Presidential candidate who claims to be a financial genius it is worth exposing those lies.

[@reedbetweenthelines1385]

A link to the story in the description would be great.

[@jacqulynnbrookins354]

Excellent , Thank you

Rich-ish. He owns a lot of real estate (bought mostly with OP money) but has very little cash.

[@calebsellers4335]

@Janitor Queen lol

[@ofthedifference]

@Janitor Queen Ha, ha, ha, ha! That's ludicrous - who's your source for that ridiculous claim?

[@mlucera2000]

He doesn't need cash. Everything is paid through his businesses. Yet he doesn't report any of it as income. That's the fraud.

[@jimosborne2]

lol. You clearly don’t understand how the extremely rich stay rich. They’re not in cash. BTW, Do you fly in your own 757?

[@C02045]

Doesn’t he scrounge from impaired republicans saying he needed money to cover the legal fees he has no intention to pay. It’s easy to get rich if no bills are paid.

[@The_Cali_Dude_88]

I find her brilliant 🎉

[@user-vx6mi3oy7g]

Thank You..

[@c.a.mcneil7599]

What’s funny is when debt was mentioned. Unlike his son. Being debt free is the best way to be however using others people’s money to make you a multi millionaire that’s good also. Trump was seen so differently before he ran for presidency. Why did that change?

[@recoveryrocks1]

He effed up the US.

[@AlvaSudden]

The files they show at 5:20 were given to them by Mary Trump, the President's niece.

[@curtisgregory517]

thanks for that info. ,,, she really needs the best security.

[@TheCandiceWang]

@@curtisgregory517 Even now. Mary L. Trump is the most sincere person to come out of that family in a long time, barring perhaps her aunt, who just doesn't want to be out in the light which is wise.

[@halisidrysdale]

Fantastic article and video covering the article

[@lindadeal3344]

Now that is much better!!
