21 Questions For Donald Trump
National Memo ^ | 1/7/2016 | David Cay Johnston

Posted on 01/07/2016 2:55:03 PM PST by St_Thomas_Aquinas

1. You call yourself an "ardent philanthropist," but have not donated a dollar to The Donald J. Trump Foundation since 2006. You're not even the biggest donor to the foundation, having given about $3.7 million in the previous two decades while businesses associated with Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Entertainment gave the Trump Foundation $5 million. All the money since 2006 has come from those doing business with you.

5. The biggest gift you have talked about appears to be an easement at the Palos Verdes, California, golf course bearing your name on land you wanted to build houses on, but that land is subject to landslides and is now the golf course driving range.

Did you or one of your businesses take a tax deduction for this land that you could not build on and do you think anyone should get a $25 million tax deduction for a similar self-serving gift?

6. Trump Tower is not a steel girder high rise, but 58 stories of concrete.

Why did you use concrete instead of traditional steel girders?

7. Trump Tower was built by S&A Concrete, whose owners were "Fat" Tony Salerno, head of the Genovese crime family, and Paul "Big Paul" Castellano, head of the Gambinos, another well-known crime family.

If you did not know of their ownership, what does that tell voters about your management skills?

I can express my opinion that she's [Hillary] committed crimes but it is nothing more than an opinion until she is prosecuted.

And O.J. is still looking for the real killer.

Hillary is a crook. I'm not going to wait until she is convicted in a court to base my opinion of her on anything else.

Trump is either a habitual grifter or he isn't. Based on the evidence before me, I have to base my opinion on the former.

I’ll be waiting for these things to hit the news and derail Trump. Won’t be holding my breath, but I’ll be waitng.

I guess if you're willing to accept the weak foundation of the 21 questions as evidence, do what what you have to do.

The Hillary and OJ situations are not even comparable to the Trump situation given the huge difference in the quantity and quality of the evidence available.

“The concrete (not steel girder) skyscraper is important because Trump used a mafia controlled concrete company, and it would be a very unusual construction method for a building of that height.”

No steel holding up that building. I would not go in it. Perhaps this is why he says he builds under budget and faster. I would not trust him to build my Yorkie a dog house.
