Trumps secret Chinese bank account...

[BlueTex]

This is going to be awkward for Trump...




Hmmm..... Earned $17.5 million in 2017.... Say wasn't he president in 2017?

Ya know, I seriously think the impact of political scandal has faded in these past few years. I don't know whether we've just become accustomed to hearing that candidates do shitty and immoral things, or we've become so partisan that we refuse to acknowledge when someone we like could have done something wrong, but I feel like stories like these just have no impact anymore.

I tend to agree... They come so fast these days that they just pop up on the radar and then disappear....

From the NYT piece:

“No deals, transactions or other business activities ever materialized and, since 2015, the office has remained inactive,” Mr. Garten said. “Though the bank account remains open, it has never been used for any other purpose.”

If that is the case, how do they explain the $17.5M in revenue and $15.1M withdrawal?

Looks like

If you do business in China you will have a bank account there.

It is not a scandal to have a bank account in China for a business man who does lots of business around the world. It would be exceptional not to have some sort of such account just for procurement purposes today for a large set of companies such as Trump has.

Yet another miss from the left.

Despiration has set in.

How many past presidents have had undisclosed foreign banking accounts?

Probably all of them since 1980.

But since I expect this was a business account it is not an undisclosed personal account.

Weird... None have shown up on the tax returns each president has provided since Nixon.... hmmmm.... Call me doubtful...

Go find something real. Surely your handlers will have far better than this.

I don't agree with this.

The problem is Trump supporters care about absolutely nothing.

The problem is Trump supporters are terrible human beings who have no discernable ethics or morality and whose sole reason for participating in politics consists of sticking it to the libs and trolling the media because Don Lemon made them feel bad for being racists, oh and they still can't get over the fact Obama, a black man, was their President.

If there was some real Biden scandal it would hurt him because Biden supporters care about morals and character and integrity. The problem with the recent laptop stuff is that it's such an obviously invented and desperate move by the Trump campaign to try and win the election that no on believes it.

Spoken like someone who didn't read the article and merely responded to the headline.

We have no idea what holdings Trump has, we haven't seen his tax returns

As usual, the publication of a Mexican billionaire - one of the top 3 wealthiest people on earth who wants all the criminals and impoverished people in Mexico to come to the USA - has absolutely NOTHING to back up their claim, under than a no-evidence claim that the Mexican billionaire joined in the criminal effort to illegally obtain tax records.

So this "SECRET!!" was on his tax returns?????????????????????

i posted over and over that once his tax returns are public that it would spin off dozens if not hundreds of investigations in countless directions.

that all will come true. hell, it's already started.

nah. Trump republicans aren't unhinged or anything.

He needs to release his Chinese tax returns. If he did nothing wrong, he should have no problem doing it.

I assume that was sarcasm.

Very good if it was.

If it was on his tax returns then it is above board.

Nobody put's their secret tax evaision accounts on their tax returns.

 

[Noodlegawd]

Then don't vote for him.

 

[BlueTex]

I didn't..

 

[CaughtInThe]

which is why he released his tax returns to the American people to review.

or, back here on Earth, he knew they would spin off dozens if not hundreds of investigations. no con man/crook wants people checking up on him.
