显然这是误导，只计算了1990年遗产，90年川普已经50了，难道川普之前是个穷光蛋，躺着啥也不做的富二代？实际上他3岁时候就已经从祖父母父母那里获得财产。有人计算过这些财产如果到现在，川普啥都没赚Trump is the beneficiary of several trust funds set up by his father and paternal grandmother beginning in 1949 when he was three years old

this very young man would later bankrupt multiple businesses including Trump Taj Mahal (1991),Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (1992), Plaza Hotel (1992), Trump Castle Hotel and Casino (1992), Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts (2004), and Trump Entertainment Resorts (2009).

Talking about risk control, have you not heard of Trump Vodka, Trump Steak, Trump Airlines, Trump Magazine, Trump Mortgage, and Trump University? All failed.

taxes are from income, right? why does he need to pay taxes for failed investment? common sense.

You were asking me why Trump is rich. He certainly has quite some successful businesses, for which he needs to pay taxes but he didn’t or didn’t pay enough according to the conviction. That may be the reason he is rich. In the previous posts we were talking about his entire business legacy which was not short of bankruptcies to say the least. So was he a successful businessman? Your call may be different than mine

do you mean he wouldn't have been rich if he had paid enough taxes?

Read my post. I said tax fraud could be one of the reasons (of being rich ). I was very careful and did not say he wouldn’t have been rich if he had paid enuf tax.

it is exactly what I don't agree with. to pay taxes you need to make money first. no one should pay a lot of taxes before making a lot of money.

Based on the lawsuit,it certainly looks like that these alleged, and now convicted, tax frauds were committed by individual trump business entities, whose tax should be assessed and paid individually and chronologically. You cant lump sum tax in this case.

I am asking how much the taxes he 'owes' would affects his richness? when you said it is a reason that he became rich, you implied that he won't be rich if he eventually pays the taxes.

I am no tax lawyer or accountant.I am not able to quantify how his tax evading would affect his richness one way or another. And I do admit he is a very rich man and has some successful businesses. But he has a very long list of business failures , and his business has comitted tax frauds. In my opinion, I don’t think his business acumen would translate into national policy successes. And that’s what the original post in this thread is all about.
