[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He tried to get his father's will rewritten to benefit himself!!!!!

Geezus, you Trumpsters. I want one of you to come here and defend this. Tell us why you still admire him.

If this doesn't convince the majority of people he's a crook then I fear we've already started well along the path to America's downfall.

[quote]All told, The Times documented 295 streams of revenue that Fred Trump created over five decades to enrich his son. In most cases his four other children benefited equally. But over time, as Donald Trump careened from one financial disaster to the next, his father found ways to give him substantially more money, records show. Even so, in 1990, according to previously secret depositions, Mr. Trump tried to have his father’s will rewritten in a way that Fred Trump, alarmed and angered, feared could result in his empire’s being used to bail out his son’s failing businesses.[/quote][/quote]

To be fair, this happens a lot, in families far less wealthy. When an elder parent starts getting ill, you'll see either the nearest relative (sibling, child or niece or nephew) hanging out a lot at the house or the daughter who lives in California is suddenly soooooo worried about dad and driving him to doctor's appointments for the last year of his life. People get soooooooooo sketchy when inheritance is on the line. Why? Because aggressiveness works! Donald was very close to controlling it all. Very few dying senile seniors have a federal judge for a daughter who can save the day.[/quote]

+1. I'm a lawyer with a bit of an estate practice. Families often get terrible when there is an inheritance involved. Barely noticed fault lines suddenly come into sharp relief. It becomes a proxy war for past grievances. And, of course, a lot of folks are just greedy. [/quote]
