If the charges are not true, then I hope he sues NYT for defamation.

He won't because he'd have to produce his own tax returns and financial records. All of them.

I don’t think any Trump supporters believe it either - At the very least people understood he inherited exponentially more than $1M. Everyone knows he’s full of shit. Folks were just fed up and wanted a disruptor and to get politicians attention after being ignored for decades.

+1. You didn't have to be a genius to see: Dad was rich, didn't waste it on gold plated airplane lavatories; didn't give it all away.... So, it went to the kids.


Statutes have all tolled on this stuff, and good luck doing twenty and thirty year old forensic analysis of valuations. I wonder how John Kerry's family would do with an analysis of the Heinz wealth and how it was transferred.

Glad to see this article, but where was it in 2015/2016? Our collective media has done a major disservice, between the Apprentice and the personality worship, the lack of analysis and actual hard news has been a major detriment to our society.

He hired Weisselberg. Trump had Weisselberg onhis payroll up till this year. Weisselberg may have flipped.

I hope he does sue them. He could clear his name, or not, with all the information and tax filings he could provide. More than likely, they will be the one entity Trump doesn't sue.

No, not everyone knows this... his supporters don't know this. They think he's a great business man and that's why they voted for him. Some might believe this, but then they are just greedy aholes who have no integrity. So.. either Trumpsters are dumb to fall for this con artist, or know he's a con artist and still voted for him because they were greedy.

I actually think that his supporters probably don't care if it's true. My impression is that the people who really support him - his base, not the rich guys who thought he'd help them get richer - think that everyone is a liar and a fraud. They think that Trump is smart enough to get away with it. They like sticking it to the system. They think taxation is theft anyway. This probably makes them like him more, to the extent it changes their feelings at all - which I doubt it will.

I know -- all this economic growth is just killing me.

Please, stop all this winning! I cannot take any more.

Do you think wealthy families like Kerry-Heinz do this stuff above board?

Okay. You find GOP lawbreaking acceptable, no matter what, so long as you are getting richer.

Please examine the DeVos and McCain estates. Both patriarchs just died and I guarantee neither family is writing big checks to the treasury.

Please examine EVERY 9 and 10 figure estate.

It's coming because our political system has broken down, cannot respond to needs and desires of the people, and so pressure is built and not relieved.

I am a conservative but I think perhaps my liberal friends will agree with this.

I'm a moderate and I agree with this as well.
