[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of this is surprising. Remember reporting about a deposition Trump had to do (don't recall what the litigation was about) where he said he had majority ownership in some enterprise even though he actually had 30% and how his view was totally based on how he personally looked at things. Remember the NYT investigation into Trump family finances where the same property had one value reported to the IRS (typically because it was transferred to kids) and another value--like 10x higher--when it was sold or otherwise valued after the transfer. Or Trump's snits any time Fortune didn't rate his net worth as high as he wanted.

The "two sets of books" is not really what it s about. Shady financial dealings is. [/quote]

Well, that's fine that we shine a light on Trump's shady dealings. But it does not help this process to make a big deal out of different tax filing vs lender submission figures, and certainly not a conclusion of fraud. This type of analysis makes it all too easy for Trump to dismiss the inquiry as a witch hunt.[/quote]

This, ironically, is exactly the type of behavior the “Trumpkins” are accused of round these parts.[/quote]
Personally, I believe that a Trumpkin is someone who will accept any rumor about Hillary as fact, but dismiss fact checks on Trump as politically-biased opinion.  [/quote]

Interesting, but this sort of thing is still very common in the reverse scenario. Politics is tribal...shrug[/quote]
