MD,
Directing this your way based on the posts you have made in many threads. This too shall pass and is another day in the Trump drama - someone should keep a drama tally that others have created for how many lies he tells. I expect at least 1 drama a week from here to election day. The average voter already knew this and this like the Atlantic story will move on. You should go back and look at the deplorables who voted for BREXIT - they tossed the salad for the elites and "righteous" and that is what is happening here. Trump got caught with his pants down and instead of owning the fact that he does not pay taxes he lied about it and called it fake news so here we are again and yes the average voter already knows he lies. Wonder how many polls will now show what affect this one has on the voters - get ready. So everyone now has to worry about abortion, healthcare, who owns his debt, whether a sitting President can go to jail ad nauseum and that is just this week. I will admit I did not read the Times article but just reading the commentary out here is funny.
Quick question, you and your wife own a company. This is not to tag on you guys as I know your wife is very smart, capable and a Dartmouth grad (more on that at the end) BUT there are many companies that I know of and have invested in whereby the wife is the 50.1% shareholder yet the spouse or friend is the brains behind the operations. My walking partners wife had a very successful engineering company. It was started because her then employer was being passed over for government bids as they could not find quality minority owned businesses, welcome to government contracts. Her former employer set her up including her LLC and both did well. Do you consider that cheating? When my wife retired after 34 years with the NY State DOT she was fending off offers for the same. Perfectly legal.
Taxes. I do not know of any business or high net worth person that does not take full advantage of the tax laws and pays no taxes. I know private companies, family owned where thoroughbred horses, jockeys and trainers have been on the books and how about those Friday night dinners, drinks and good times with the spouse where business is mentioned once and there is the right off or how about those groceries for the family that used to wind up as T&E, cars, that is a field day same with mileage. Need a motorhome and football tickets (that was just changed) for business, no worries. You would have a field day with probably 90% of the privately held companies out there and I bet you could find some of the same with many public companies. The prison system is not big enough to hold all the riff raff.
Russia. Follow the money - please do. My guess is he burned so many bridges in the States that a commercial bank would not touch him or if they did, it was on rates and terms that were too expensive so he went overseas or to pension or hedge funds, or private debt finance companies. That drumbeat keeps getting old. The Hillary Clinton emails and Benghazi got old. There seem to be allot of hooks in the Constitution and in how the government works not to have found something already and yes the comparison to Hitler is over the top. The screeching comes from both sides but again, I have faith that the average voter already knows this and is probably getting tired of it. IMHO.
Finally, my wife made me do a 23 and me. I guess I have an adopted something as part of my family. No one has a clue about him but he reached out to me looking for some history, someone did something naughty . This is my wife's doing and she responded to him but ironically he is a Dartmouth grad
