Wow just wow. Anyone watch CNN doc on Trump?

Great effort...so much about sleezy practices on RE deals than I had ever heard before.

Bravo CNN.

He put his name on projects and actively deceived people. He was not the developer (who never built or went bankrupt) yet he and family like Ivanka made it seem like they were, and banked millions in this scam.

Meanwhile, innocent people invested based on his name and fame and lost. Ivanka even implied she would be a neighbor and said " if you need some sugar.."

Trump is really so much more disgusting a human being than I ever thought.

Seems he's caused many sleepless nights for many of his customers, both in real estate as well as his other enterprises such as tRump U. What a sleazeball (but really, we already knew that).

Erin Burnett did a good job in her reporting and presented her findings in fine manner. In fact, think I'll watch it again on the re-run.

Erin Burnett did a good job of turning real investigative journalism into something people can watch. Because people watch. They clearly don't read, or Trump would never have been elected in the first place.

I cannot believe what they are getting away with and that nobody is coming down on them for such blatant corruption. The sheer boldness and arrogance is just sickening. I live for the day when they are all behind bars or six feet under.

Sat May 18, 2019, 10:50 PM
May 2019

is not limited to the India projects they talked about in the report.

All those built but then went into bankruptcy projects he did had "partners" of a crooked background..in Toronto, in Vancouver BC, etc.
The pattern was he would "develop" and sell the condos, using his name to fleece buyers, to get rich off the use of his name, and at some point, the building would fail to attract enough business to succeed, and go under.
This is a PATTERN....it's how he made money.
same with resorts and golf clubs, no way near the traffic they need to pay off, most of them.

I am so sickened by their corruption and wanton grifting. They have never seen this presidency as anything but another way to line their own pockets. They all belong in prison. I really hope the NY AG is preparing to bring down the hammer.

But I can’t stand to hear his voice or look at him. The fact the he is president is disgusting. He is a con artist/criminal and he should be in jail. That he is still president (given all we know) and is daily raking in money off the office he is obviously unfit for and using that office as a shield to protect him and his family from accountability sickens me. Equally disgusting is the cover the gop is giving him, the party has been throughly corrupted and it’s continued existence should be called into question. This nightmare needs to end. I hope that Speaker Pelosi’s caution on impeachment proves to be a wisdom that I simply do not understand yet but hope to at some point.

I cannot stand the sight of any of them, especially Trump Sr. They repulse me beyond belief. How is this family of degenerates getting away with fleecing this nation and going unchecked? Why are so many people willing to protect and cover for them? I will never, ever understand it.

I can see why he has any supporters at all is because their hate for progressive / Democratic Party is greater than the patriotism they claim and their sense of right and wrong. They have to see what he is doing in broad daylight, they accused President Obama of many of the same things. They simply do not care that he is acting like a dictator or using the office for profit. He is “owning the libs” which justifies his action in their mind.

When trump is gone we are still going to have to deal with that and I don’t know how that will work. As far as I can tell the last this country was this divided and so filled with hate we had a civil war which we are still dealing with the leftover residue some 150yrs later.

apartments in a "Trump" development, telling those potential buyers that she'd be living there and might drop by to borrow a cup of sugar?

Think I read that in one of David Cay Johnston's books, but it might have been another...
