But are his ethics different from a politician is the question ?
From a deposition under oath in 2007: The lawyer asks him, have you ever lied in public statements about your properties? Trump says he tries to be truthful, but then he adds this, “I’m no different from a politician running for office. You don’t want to say negative things.”
Then the lawyer asks him, have you ever exaggerated in statements about your properties? His response, “I think everyone does.” All billionaires lie about their wealth, he just does it more than most.
Good question erlayman. Thanks for your post. I’m just now on FR after a long day at work and hanging out with the family for dinner.
