Have we ever had any candidate with so many business interests and income? I think of Rockefeller but he did’t make it — Roosevelt? Kennedy? but I think those 3 all just lived on family-provided income. Just thinking here at 8:30 in the morn.
That would be a taxable event. A series of taxable events that could have ramifications effecting partners.
He has numerous real-estate partnerships, interest in gaming operations, etc. Very hard to foresee what kind of blind-trust organization would be appropriate for such a diverse set of enterprises.
How exactly you could put something like "Trump Tower" in a blind trust, I dunno.
Most presidents I can think of come from family money. I can’t think of a president that earned as much and has been as successful in business at Donald Trump. I think GWB was involved in business more than most. He co-owned the Texas Rangers for instance. But not anywhere near the scale of Trump.
According to this reporter’s twitter, Trump had people thrown out who were loudly yelling that he was “boring” and he needed to “tell some jokes!”

Please ping your list to this post. Thanks!

Thanks for the thread and the heads up.
All spooled up and ready to go!
I’m sure his lawyers are working on this for just-in-case he does win. Be interesting to have been the fly on the wall when his entire family met to weigh the pros and cons for his run. It truly does involve all of them (and all of us).
I agree, I think I will pass this speech today.
Will listen tomorrow.
One person already voted for Trump.
Oh wait I found a link posted which actually isn’t (too) bad.

Thank for who posted that. I’m watching now.
Trump said if he wins Obama your fired. priceless
Blind trust.
Check Obama tax records. He gets income from family trust
Nothing says his children cannot be administrators of trust and all continue to receive income
The administration officers decide what investments are bought sold etc DT would turn that all over to his older children (unless he chooses to keep one with him at the WH as chief of staff more than likely Eric )
Trump and Cruz tied in Iowa per the above link. This should add some excitement to the race/ threads. Pass the word and link.
Nothing boring about this election. LOL
Is his speech over?
It’s not playing on OAN...( they always play him)
You’re chopping wood now, like women used to do in Indiana?
The cost would be astronomical for that building.
Use the metro to get out to Northern VA and 100$ motels(?)
I have family to stay with. Travel into DC and parking was expensive then, 25$or more, now?...FR had a nice hotel and great plan about like all inclusive wedding pricing...we could do it again! Walk-up people paid 100$ per and were glad to pay it.
FR had another banquet in DC and it was a smaller room, but we filled every seat there. I remember a third party and it too was a sell-out( second Bush inaugural? ) Children’s room and some vendors with great FR merchandise. There is not a huge DC group anymore but I bet we could still do it!
