Mainecat Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 What a nice guy..... Trump attempted to exploit his elderly father in order to save himself from financial ruin Donald Trump, facing financial ruin, sought control of his elderly father’s estate. The family fight was epic. “It was basically taking the whole estate and giving it to Donald,” Trump’s sister said in secretly recorded audio By Michael Kranish Sept. 27, 2020 Donald Trump was facing financial disaster in 1990 when he came up with an audacious plan to exert control of his father’s estate. His creditors threatened to force him into personal bankruptcy, and his first wife, Ivana, wanted “a billion dollars” in a divorce settlement, Donald Trump said in a deposition. So he sent an accountant and a lawyer to see his father, Fred Trump Sr., who was told he needed to immediately sign a document changing the will according to his son’s wishes, according to depositions from family members. It was a fragile moment for the senior Trump, who was 85 years old and had built a real estate empire worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He would soon be diagnosed with cognitive problems, such as being unable to recall things he was told 30 minutes earlier or remember his birth date, according to his medical records, which were included in a related court case. Now, those records and other sources of information about the episode obtained by The Washington Post reveal the extent of Fred Trump Sr.’s cognitive impairment and how Donald’s effort to change his father’s will tore apart the Trump family, which continues to reverberate today.

Snake Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Hunter Biden LITERALLY took his father's position, and continued to play on it. He flew on the taxpayer's dime to Ukraine and China to make these deals. But Trump! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several from the audit world who were involved in the proceedings in the early 90's have stated that the only thing that saved him from personal bankruptcy in the 90's was his name, nothing more.

Taking trump down diminished the value of their security, his name had value in resi/commercial RE. His ego made him think that the name could be paired with anything but Trump Air, Trump Vodka, Trump U, Trump mortgage etc all proved that was not the case.

Anler Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 5 minutes ago, ArcticCrusher said: Is Bezos self made? Just checking. He is definitely more successful than Trump. Jeff Bezos, now the richest man in modern history, began with a $US100,000 “investment” in 1995 from his parents after leaving “a cushy gig on Wall Street”, where he served as vice-president of D. E. Shaw & Co, to pursue Amazon – what was then a fledgling online bookstore, and is presently a domineering retailer powerhouse. A grainy photograph of Jeff Bezos’ Amazon office in 1999 has been shared countless times, with some compact inspiration message attached: “Everyone starts somewhere,” one tweet reads. “Just keep going.” The still image, taken from Bob Simon's interview with Bezos for 60 Minutes, is now used to invigorate and uplift the downtrodden, as though to say that Bezos toiled for his earnings, and they have the opportunity to do the same should they want it bad enough.
