Trump Was …….

 

Trump was a real estate developer and businessman who owned, managed, or licensed his name to – hotels, casinos, golf courses, resorts, and residential properties in the New York City area and around the world.

 

From the 1980s Trump also lent his name/brand  to scores of retail  adventures including branded lines of clothing, cologne, food, and furniture – and to Trump University, which offered seminars in real estate education from 2005 to 2010.

 

In the early 21st century his private  operation –  the Trump Organization, comprised some 500 companies involved in a wide range of businesses, including hotels and resorts, residential properties, merchandise, and entertainment and television.

 

There are various estimates of his net worth – widely seen as best guesses – because:

He declares only the minimum possible –

and that is questionable because he has a record of underestimating revenue and assets –  where convenient,

and – just to make it more difficult –

he and his two adult sons are already facing multiple counts in criminal charges for ‘grossly overestimating assets for fraudulent purposes’!

I should explain – it was to get better interest rates for loans guaranteed by Trump Org. and lower premiums on insurance policies.

Net worth estimates;

range from $4.4 – 4.5 billion

but –the leading rating agency -Forbes – states it as $2.9 billion.

So he might not have been – self made – but he is still pretty well off!

Plus  – of course – he was – 45th President of the USA!

 

N.B.   is  not- certain,  even now –  that Trump cannot stand for and even serve as President – from a prison cell – there is nothing in the Constitution to prevent it.

There is also the argument that – ‘as a first offender (debatable?) and non-violent crimes  – he would not go to prison anyway.

Not forgetting, that if  he was elected as the as the new President – he could pardon himself of any  federal law offences!  (but not any State  verdicts.

The press/buzz word / cliché at the moment is – ‘Unprecedented’!

Or should that be – ‘Unpresidented’?

It’s not finished yet.

He might still do a runner!
