One tweet I saw speculated just that; that he did it in order to launder money from a dirty source(s) into his pockets. If that were the case, though, why limit it to 45,000 and $4.45M?
Seriously, this is some penny ante bs for a supposed multi-billionaire.
Exactly. Far better to channel investment $$ to Jared. He can put the $2 billion in T-bills and call that "investing." Then he can harvest at least 2% management fees every year basically forever. Of course, they may have given him a sweetheart agreement where he can charge a lot more.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 12:55 pmSeriously, this is some penny ante bs for a supposed multi-billionaire.
There is a difference between his purported "billions" and his liquidity. The vast majority of his alleged wealth is locked up in very illiquid assets like property, much highly leveraged as well as intangibles such as him lending his name for branding which are held by various holding companies, not personally.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 12:55 pmSeriously, this is some penny ante bs for a supposed multi-billionaire.
I have always been skeptical of his status as a billionaire. As you point out, while he may control billions of dollars in assets, rumor has it that most are mortgaged to the hilt. Couple that with the fact that, if appraised honestly, rather than using his self-serving valuations, many might be underwater.Mr brolin wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 1:52 pm There is a difference between his purported "billions" and his liquidity.

I am willing to bet he expenses most of the spending he does or does forgivable loans that get written off. Having actual cash money, with all the investigations on his financial shenanigans would probably be very attractive right now....

Consumer Reports found dangerous heavy metals in chocolate from Hershey's, Theo, Trader Joe's and other popular brands. Here are the ones that had the most, and some that are safer.

Obviously, he only looks at the bar charts that show how he is leading right now. Somebody actually interested in how well he is doing would look at trends.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 10:22 pm I have the best polls!

WASHINGTON — A House committee is expected to vote on Tuesday on whether to make public six years of former President Donald J. Trump’s tax records, in what would be a significant act of transparency in the waning days of Democratic control of the House.
The Ways and Means Committee gave notice on Friday that it would meet behind closed doors at 3 p.m. on Tuesday for what is expected to be a vote on whether to release some data from Mr. Trump’s tax returns from 2015 to 2020, including the possibility of sharing the filings. The panel obtained the information from the Treasury Department last month.
Such a vote, which Republicans are likely to oppose, would be the culmination of a nearly four-year battle stemming from Mr. Trump’s decision to break with modern precedent and refuse to disclose his personal financial information as a presidential candidate and then as a sitting president.
For now, lawmakers remain constrained by law about what they can say about the matter. Representative Richard E. Neal, Democrat of Massachusetts, who as the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee requested Mr. Trump’s tax returns from the Treasury Department, said it concerned “documents protected under Internal Revenue Code Section 6103.”
While I agree in principle, I do think that there will be selected information released leaked to the public. Perhaps total income and tax liability.
But that is why we have journalists on Twitter to get the experts to help us drill down to understand what what we are looking at.humblescribe wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 6:33 pmWhile I agree in principle, I do think that there will be selected information released leaked to the public.

I assume that his returns are quite complicated. They are beyond the understanding of most folks. Most people can relate to wages and other routine types of income. But when the supplemental income schedule (Schedule E, pages 1 and 2), plus the dreaded line 21 (or 22 -- it changes) with "other income" has a bunch of weird stuff, people are going to tune out.

Is this a nothing burger, or is this something that he (or his issue) will have to remedy?
This is not my interpretation. It's more likely a standard service fee for the platform to account for running it.bill_g wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 4:41 am It appears Trump will reap royalties from the resale of these cards in perpetuity.
