How Trump Got Rich: The Real Story 

Wayne Barrett did an excellent job covering Donald Trump's shenanigans long before 2016.

Front running the regulators - so to speak. 💯💥💫Agree, Joseph. TY

Lol.....yes...she used a whole interview to say that..😂

He goes through money like water. Needs followers to send him money?!!

@cuthbertbargepole I would but I also would not go for president trump is part of thr problem

@@shannonlohr1565 Yes he always needs a new stream of income, new investors, always needing someone elses money.

The usual way

@@deadmanswife3625 Nothing usual about it.

People felt that he was a tough guy from his so called business dealings, so-called wealth and so-called reality show The Apprentice.

@@bradanderson9751 you're right

@@janicefredericks7505 he's fired

There was at least 2 DAs that had a blind spot for trump. Merganthauler and drunken Rudy.

Rudy was probably on the “take”.

@@DJT4Prison they worded it Rudy and merganthauler had a blind spot for trump. Yeah right 😏👎🏾

F trump and his cult members. They are domestic enemies of We The People.

​@@DJT4PrisonYOU THINK??

NYC is an embarrassment the State of New York. Fact.

He is America's embarrassment!

About as qualified as an actor.

​@@brian7android985Regan was an actor. Zelensky was an actor. Trump is just a criminal

Bingo!

That doesn't make any of this credible and now the big reveal...he a grifter, conartist and most of all the biggest liar America has ever produced!

Sounds like Reagan

lol courage

😁🤔😬

So, was his high school and college transcripts

do you understand the word "private"?

they ARE classified documents. Nunyadambizness

@@robertwilber1909 Overrated. Trump is a liar, and I don't believe anyone's taxes should be "private". Transparency makes crime harder. Employees should know how much their employers make. :)

Ok that was a very uneducated childish statement you made.

Listen to Mary Trump - for her side of that story. She said something about how DJT cheated her and her family out of MILLIONS. I don't remember the details. But het was brutal.

Wish dump's mama had a migraine the night he was conceived.

AND refused to pay many, many contractors for work that was completed on his casinos and other projects. When he did pay, it was often 10-20% of what he actually owed and he would tell them that if they didn't accept that as payment in full, they could try suing him; knowing that these small companies couldn't hire lawyers to go against his big lawyers. He would claim that the work wasn't done on time or was shoddy even when that wasn't the case. .. Basically looking for an excuse not to pay.

@@rachaelodell4906 Even in the White House he felt that taxpayers money was his. He didn't want to pay the full sum to Ukraine. He hated supporting NATO or the World Health Council. It was as is it his money, because he charged outrageous sums to cover all his Security Detail, when he visited his properties, which was often. The US already had a lovely property at Camp David, which had all the security necessary to protect him. If he couldn't gain from something, he wrote it off. Don the con is a lesson to the US, DONT VOTE FOR CELEBRITIES.

@@rachaelodell4906 All of the above☑️ He is such a fucking con man, lying racist, bigoted, xenophobic, misogynistic, homophobic, piece of shit. I have hated him since the '90's when I found out about him and his father being sued by everybody and their brother over their "marking" of rental applications, to make sure they didn't rent to anyone except whites. That disgusted me to no end, knowing many were Section 8 housing and those people NEEDED a home and his racist ass refused to rent to them. Then add on his lies (just in general), the hate and division he brought this nation to, the Putin Helsinki closed door talk, then he tells an international press corp that he believes Putin instead of our intelligence community about bounties on the heads of our soldiers, the deal he made with the Taliban, his blatant disregard for the people of this country during a pandemic and making a deadly virus along with the vaccines to keep people from dying, political fodder. Then when we add in his BIG LIE, his phone call to Raffenspurger, all of the fraudits and recounts he pushed all while gathering the donations for his "election integrity" PAC, and didn't pay for ANY OF IT. He pocketed all of that money, or his family and friends did. Which allowed us taxpayers to pay for the audits and recounts, plus the replacement voting machines they messed up. Then Jan 6, which he topped off with stealing our NATIONAL SECURITY SECRETS. He is a TRE45ONOUS BASTARD and he needs to rot in prison. How any person in this country can still support him after ALL of that, is beyond me. Rant over! Lol!

Teflon don

@theresalafar96 - And he has been untouchable all his life !!! He's beaten the odds ...... White collar crime PAYS !!!!!!

He had at least 2 DAs in NY that had a blind spot for trump. Merganthauler and drunken Rudy.

Trump became wealthy being a deadbeat and cheat. He said he considered court and trials just part of doing business. People lost because Trump had lawyers and fixers that people did not want to deal with, So many went bankrupt because they could not wait for payment or afford lawyers.

Yes, it does all across the board not just one targeted family.

@@ShirleySchmidt1 are you serious?

​Forget her. She chooses to be a MAGAt.

And Justice Matters.

Unfortunately unless this story can be distilled into a 3 minute tweet none of Trump's true believers have the intelligence or attention span to hear or understand what was being said.

Yes, the uninformed, and also the right-wing aligned bible-thumpers, who will vote Republican to get their wacky agenda through, no matter the cost to the country.

You if you have not Too much money and a small job you have a big problem to get a money to the bank

Oh yes he is supported by the"deplorables"and the grift continues even to this day and that brings up the 2 billion dollars Jared pocketed from the Saudis?

Mucking around in other’s misery since the 1800’s. Now there’s a brand. There’s a legacy.

@@edasner8959 The GREAT WHITE history lesson. not surprised. WHAT A JOKE!

@@edasner8959 I am sure like all other Trumps he let them work there for FREE, ha ha ha.

Granddad was a pimp and had a whole house.💯

Why not just say it… his grandfather was a pimp.

The fact that she still practices journalism is refreshing indeed.

OOOOhhhh I KKKKKkkkknnoooooowwww !!!

Pro democracy a cnn bus word can’t make up how one becomes brainwashed lemming

Yeah, there is a reason it has been norm for half a century if not longer. But it absolutely should have been law, to protect against someone like Trump who is not interested in playing fair.

Tax returns are private just like medical records.

Before during and after a term(s)

The lesson is also that there has to be tax reform and enforcement so these villains can't game the system to enrich themselves. Besides, there hadn't been a criminal mob associate and Russian asset as a candidate before. Usually presidential candidates have a legitimate life before they run. It is a result of "conservative" political parties abandoning all principles including belief in democracy and that it's good to not be a traitor.

Well just this once😢

All the Democrats are very very rich. ru-vid.comByF3xP5kNlo

"Steal a little and they put you in jail, steal a lot and they make you king," --Bob Dylan Four years later and he is still getting away with it.

Don’t pay attention to the polls. We are 13 months away from the election and many things can happen between now and then.

Yes, unfortunately the Party who promised to help the little guy just gave us lip service for the last 30 years and here we are. Clearly more of the same is not working, i’m not advocating for Trump at all clearly he’s a threat. Well, they say political leaders are products of their societies America is do whatever you want just don’t get caught….and if you do…… have enough to buy your way out of i…. doesn’t matter what party you align with. They are just “your” criminal. Trump criminality is on a whole Nother level however, the ones trying to hold him accountable are far from innocent and they’re outrage is hypocritical and when we need the justice system to really punish a guy like that, he’ll be able to slip and slide his way out

Kind of like Hunter's laptop.... these politicians and their families need held accountable. It'll never happen.

Nothing there as all their witnesses just wait you’ll see , his partner, it’ll all be revealed ….nothing. Congrats dick pics from a troubled man… not an elected official , didn’t work in White House as Ivanka and Jared who profited 186 million while there. Not counting 2billion he got from Soudis..the lap top..because they have nothing on JB who has devoted his life to public service and who’s tax returns public for last 40 years unlike Trump..everything he touches turns to shit including US (hey Donald “discovered” that abbreviation spells us..) A clown

@anasazirose The lattee turned out to be a fabrication. We have evidence stright from Moscow who made the case. If it was true, all of the fascists would be flaunting the evidence, instead we found out it was a disinformation campaign lie. And hushed up, because it came stright from Russia. Pull another one.

One of his appointed judges held that up for at least three years.

No chance of getting it done. Too many vested interests…

Representing years of taxes is already there! But the Donald kept saying he was being Audited by the IRS. There should be no exceptions. Normal every day people couldn't make any excuses.

This is a job for the VOTERS of America to decide. We dropped the ball, 1 million Americans died needlessly, the people are under immediate threat of losing basic rights, facist take over and “civil war”!

@@zeebest1004 Who dropped the ''BALL?" 🏈 I...and every one I know, never 'TOUCHed'...that BALL! Our Leaders...are in charge of all of that. They should have made Trump...UP..his Taxes...they didn't. I thought that was One of the, ''must do'' for all presidents. Is that not a 'Law'...to Occupy the,.."Oval Office''...before sitting behind the 'Desk?' SO...the 'Republican'...Party...All of them, are Afraid of🥵 Donald Trump'.... It's Obvious, they still fear him...and are giving him 'AMAZING GRACE'..😵‍💫... I thought 'Only GOD'...had/has, ''AMAZING GRACE''...😇📖😴...''WOW''... Donald J. Trump....is their 'GOD'?...JESUS? *we shall see!*

Even if it was passed by congress dump would still not put out his taxes. He thinks he's above the law.

Just smears from a joke media organization. Have you watching the Russia hoax falling apart?

Adam you are an ignorant disgrace to the hole of love.

Thanks for your reporting!

Adam Jaramillo, I am Begging You And so many DECENT People, to PLEASE STOP referring to this Beyond CONTEMPTIBLE Very EVIL, "Dump" as the "Messiah" or the "Orange J___s or the Orange 'C____t". Have MERCY ‼️✝. IT IS the MOST painful ASSAULT ON OUR Beloved America ‼️ When I think of OUR Beloved MEN and WOMEN, who sacrificed their LIVES to Save And Protect OUR Country and LAWS and CONSTITUTION; "Dump's" UTTER Contempt for America and Americans BREAKS My HEART; DO NOT add to this awful Agony by giving "Dump" the TITLE Reserved for "OUR BLESSED SAVIOR". ‼️❤️🙏✝

@@ttmarty82 No, you don't support truth and facts because if you did you'd denounce your Great Orange Doofus, right here, right now.

Smart boy. LedHed Steven 🎸 🎸 🎸

And you're proud that the child repeats what the parents say? That a 4 yo child is capable of hatred? Wow, shame on you.

Are you from Canada? your pompous enough to be. Eat snow buddy eat snow.

Big mouths and the threats behind them will always be a problem in any government that is greedy enough to accept graft as we have and will see until until the time of great change.

Well said 👍

I agree with you. Donald "TRAITOR" Trump is a "Clear and Present Danger and threat to the health and safety of this Nation. He must be held to account for decades of Scamming people, LYING on his tax returns, amongst other countless atrocities he's committed. He doesn't deserve to go anywhere near the White House. As a matter of fact, "TRAITOR TRUMP," needs to be breathing recirculated air in a JAIL OR PRISON Cell Right now! Last time I checked, "TRAITOR TRUMP," Is still breathing fresh air, and GOLFING ⛳ IN FLORIDA. WHERE'S THE JUSTICE? ⚖️

I remember he bragged decades ago about molesting and abusing teenage girls that was signed to his modeling agency and beauty pageants on a nationally syndicated show.😏

The sound is dreadful. The man turns to one side and you can't hear him. Her sound crackles,,and dips down. What a shame. what a let down.😊😊 please sort this out.

true... there is no talent in Canada

Many talented Canadians, many brought their gift to the US and are part of our culture. Joni Mitchell, Jim Carrey, K.D. Lang, Shania Twain, Mike Myers, Celine Dion, Keanu Reeves, Dwayne Johnson, Sandra Oh, Seth Rogan, Anna Pacquin, Avril Lavigne, Ryan Gosling, Michael Buble, Michael J. Fox, Rachel McAdams, Matthew Perry, Alannis Morrisette, David Foster, Will Arnett, Kim Cattrall, William Shatner, Dan Akroyd, Phil Hartman, Abram Hoffer, Pierre Berton, Wayne Gretzky, Oscar Peterson..

@@lolodee3528 Absolutely! Don’t forget Dr. Frederick Banting, one half of the duo Banting and Best who first developed synthetic insulin and won the Nobel Prize in medicine. Neil Young of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Sandra Oh of Grey’s Anatomy. Actors Ryan Reynolds, Michael Cera, Pamela Anderson (Baywatch). Lorne Michaels of SNL fame who featured comedic actors Martin Short, and Dan Akroyd…. Comedians Samatha Bee and Russel Peters. Drake and how can we forget JUSTIN BEIBER? 😊 This is a fun game. How many more world famous Canadians can we name? 🇨🇦

Yup. tfg wanted to suck his dad dry BEFORE he died.

Dad drained them with trumolester. Old dad got duked also. Dementia kicked in so trumolester changed the game. He gave them what he wanted to give them. Fred died so he didn't get a cut. 🤦🏾‍♀️💯

Dr. Mary L. Trump's first book answers all your questions, Karen. "Too much, and never enough." You will not be disappointed.

He just didn't rob Mary and her brother. Also he's sister and little brother. 💯

Too bad it's the "Religious Right" that comprises 25% of the "Right-Wing's" voting block. How do you reconcile that?

Yes it is true what you are saying but for the safety of the GOOD person in Trump crime family, better to not get into it.🧝🏻‍♀️

How wood she know?

@@dalegehrking2862 Would not Wood.

Lou Dobbs? 🤷

@@LuckyBoyNelson Not Matt Gaetz, he just came to that conclusion this month.

Himself. Confidence tricksters as daft as he is never recognize or admit who they really are to themselves.

I would say the justice department

His cell mate ?

@Lisa S I suppose Oz will lose..and Oprah Winfrey...has something to do with it. I believe, she cares about her dogs, and seeing that Dr. Oz, killed many for Research...she cut him a loose!

Yes, when the subject is a Presidential candidate who claims to be a financial genius it is worth exposing those lies.

Yes, it was. Kudos to the NYT and their staffers for this top notch work.

How fitting that he would become the leader of the system. Most that he was king of did not do not pay taxes also.

If it's legal, then so be it. How do you feel about the Pelosi's insider trading?

@@anasazirose how come a trump supporter changes the subject and comes up with other buisness, I'm not a fan of the USA in general, but your politics is comical, no matter who's in charge ,in my eyes they should pay more attention to the homeless, the starving, the people on the bread line, instead of slinging mud ,they should stand up and produce a better country.

And by the way Mr trump said b4 he was elected that he would produce his tax returns, and after many court cases committee meetings etc etc ,it took another 5 years for him to produce

@Janitor Queen lol

@Janitor Queen Ha, ha, ha, ha! That's ludicrous - who's your source for that ridiculous claim?

He doesn't need cash. Everything is paid through his businesses. Yet he doesn't report any of it as income. That's the fraud.

lol. You clearly don’t understand how the extremely rich stay rich. They’re not in cash. BTW, Do you fly in your own 757?

Doesn’t he scrounge from impaired republicans saying he needed money to cover the legal fees he has no intention to pay. It’s easy to get rich if no bills are paid.
