Breaking NYT Trump has a hidden unknown bank account in China


?s=21
Breaking: New NYT Trump taxes report.

Trump's tax records show that Trump maintains a previously unknown bank account in China. The foreign accounts do not show up on Trump's public financial disclosures because they are held under corporate names.

As much money that he has syphoned off the treasury, funneled to his properties, the RNC pours into his clubs for "fundraisers" and what not, and foreign countries paying over the market rates to rent hotel rooms, his ass is still broke as shit.

It doesn't make sense. It only makes sense if he is hiding income.

he hinted he might have to leave the country if he loses. He probably has enough stashed in foreign accounts to go retire in a country with no extradition treaty with the us.

while still being President. Could you get the GOP on board for impeachment? For example Wilson was in France and other European countries for six months after World War 1 with one return to the US of about two weeks during that time.

Once trump fully leaves them holding the bag, they'll have to do something to save their ass. Pence will step up and be president for 3 months.

IOW, don't buy anything that has #46 on it just yet.

He loses ( I hope) and then takes a 'trip' to somewhere he can't be extradited and submits his resignation.............. he won't be able to stand losing after all the bullshit he's pulled. Looking good is just about the most important thing he counts on in life. IMHO

The lack of an extradition treaty with another country does not mean the other country CAN'T extradite someone to the US, it means it's on a case-by-case basis. I believe Trump is reviled enough worldwide that any country he winds up in will tell us to come get him.

of grifters have made millions from the WH brand. There was talk of 8hundredmillion missing from campaign-inauguration funds a few weeks back. If this cabal manages to escape the clutches of the law when deposed, they will, with all those hidden funds live rich.

Otherwise, yeah it looks bad like everything else he does but he is sneaky enough to cover his tracks and leave doubt open.

This is something that shows up in his tax records, meaning that the IRS knows about it.

I'm interested in the accounts that the IRS DOESN'T know about.

And the Caymenes.

All American Oligarchs do.

Heard today that the IRS will not even audit someone who makes over 10M a year because it's too hard for the IRS to fight the lawyers. So they audit the middle class.

We citizens exist to be milked by the 1%.

But I do wonder why he attacks China so much if they have his money?

It only means he has hidden accounts where ever
he has his hotels in other countries.
The fix is in. Once Barr can switch State charges
to the Fed, He will quit in late Nov turn it over
to Pence and then get a pardon and his family
all of them. i just don't see this POS standing
there watching Biden take over in Jan.

Trump has offshore and numbered Swiss accounts in which he stashes all the money he's made bribing various corporate and foreign government interests.

...and, I'm not talking about accounts he has reported to the IRS, like this one.

Under the mattress, in a wall safe, in a floor safe.

And overseas bank accounts of course. Cayman islands, Switzerland, etc.

You no longer need to flee the country with a suitcase filled with money.

Not saying it's true, but it's happened before.
