Donald Trumps worst deal ever could now land him in Prison. (Fingers crossed!)

Donald Trump?s Worst Deal - The New Yorker

This is heavy.

Nice try but not going to happen yet again.

Nice cash job LOLOLOL

^^

The economy is for the 1% and fuck the rest, wars have decimated dozens of countries, the American infrastructure is crumbling, and the pols are having $60,000 worth of hot dogs flown in from Chicago. And you think everything is all a-ok?

I was watching that lunatic Rachel Maddow talk about it earlier for like 20 minutes straight. She tried to lay out the case that it must be a scam based on two key pieces of evidence;

exhibit a: The hotel is a one hour walk from the nice section of town.

exhibit b: A taxi driver couldn't figure out how to access the hotel.

Thus it must be a scam. Maybe an illegal one.

That's it. The entire segment relied on those two things. That woman is as nuts on MSNBC these days as Glen Beck was on Fox News several years ago. She is lunatic level like he was. Then she said Trump's Yemen travel ban caused spies to turn against the US and warn terrorists of the raid.

I tried to read it and find out what Trump has done that's illegal. Gave up half way through.

Paul when that kind of cash money changes hands on a construction job in the USA there is tax evasion -- bet on it. Maybe they do business differently in Azerbaijan. Never done business there.

But why anyone would want to build an outrageous luxury hotel in a shit-hole like Azerbaijan?

We need SENATE HEARINGS NOW!

That's absolutely wrong. There was much more than that so don't misrepresent it.

You're starting to look like a troll

lol total FAKE NEWS

Anyone in construction knows all about 'cash jobs' LMAO

It was a long winded article but basically the Trump group licensed their name but more importantly had direct control of every aspect of the building construction once they came on board.

Any money laundering going on at that point happens as the Trump family was over seeing the project and they would be profiting from it even if they were not directly involved.

His daughter was on the site every month, every thing that went on had to be ok'ed by the Trump family..

Either they knew there was corruption going on , or they didn't but either way they profited from it and that is illegal.

Basically the Trump family had full control over the project and they can not claim ignorance of wrong doing because they were in charge.

Added bonus the guy they were in business with was well known as a bad guy and money launder for the Iranians. This means they went into business with a guy known to launder money on a project that was used to launder money and they ran the project..

Not much to deny about it but I'm sure it won't stop the dumb dumbs here.

Oh he is such a snake

Don't they call that RICO? :1orglaugh:upsidedow

More...FAKE NEWS

I wouldn't get hopes up TBH.. this kinda stuff is what rich guys do.. Scum like Trump breaks the law, they put up a legal defense force to slow down process to a crawl then negotiate out a "fine" payment with no omission of wrong doing and go back to do it again...

He will pay a couple million in fines the money will go somewhere into the federal budget and he will do it again. The feds can announce they did their job and "fined" someone, Trump still makes money on the deal most likely or comes out ahead on other shit like this he didn't get caught at.. everyone is happy everyone wins..

Meanwhile some kids steals a six pack from store and ends up with 3 years in jail, while all these white collar scum bags like Trump buy their way out of their crimes after stealing millions from their investors.

This is serious stuff....using cash as payment in a middle eastern country. Who would do such a thing???

US sent plane with $400 million in cash to Iran - CNNPolitics.com

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

weak attempt

Do you realize that you refuse to ever see when Trump fucks up? This is not healthy for your mind.

Responding by reflecting is not acknowledging the subject at hand: Trump corruption.

:thumbsup

The question would be...who cares if he was part of building a hotel and paid with cash because that's the only thing the locals in that Arab country would take?

Does that story of what a businessman did (which most people do when you try to negotiate a better price...you pay in cash) have ANYTHING to do with the U.S. economy, jobs, trade, etc.?

Nope.

Didn't see the media doing ANY backstories on Pres. Obama did we? Only "inspirational" ones because he was baby-Jesus.

But Bush? Oh yeah. He liked to snort cocaine as a young man. OMG!!!
He is a reformed alcoholic! No way!
He owned a baseball team. Fuck...that makes him "Hitler"!

All I'm saying is that the media breathlessly reports "news" that isn't news and does so selectively.

For Pres. Obama...they brushed aside anything that he did in his younger days. And I think that is correct. It doesn't matter if Obama smoked pot or did coke as a young man. That's natural for people to sew their wild oats and had nothing to do with him being President as a mature adult.

BUT...Rachel Maddow didn't ever investigate some of the things that Obama did as a politician in Chicago and his ties to political radical extremists.
ANd personally I never cared about that anyway.

It was a non-story. And had nothing to do with anything. Who President Obama hung around with and what he believes IS relevant...but not a "news story".

And neither is Trump dealing with Arab countries and using cash to get things done on a business project.

Now IF he takes cash from the U.S. govt. and uses it to pay off a hostile country...as Pres. Obama did...then THAT is a news story

It affects all of us.

You didn't read the article.

It's not about being paid in cash that's normal there.

It's about going into business with someone known to be corrupt and participating in what amounts to high end money laundering to line your pockets.

Like getting $25 million from saudi arabia for the Clinton Foundation? Or every senator and congressman becoming multi millionaires on a $150,000 salary?

What money laundering? Paying in cash vs receiving cash is two different things ROFL

Come on, cucks, you need to try harder than this...seriously

You are right. Who cares. The President of the United States can bribe anyone he wants to make a buck.

He wasn't President of the United States then and he wasn't bribing anyone

Do you live on fucking planet earth?

all of these fails by the fucking president of the USA, why can the voters not see beyond the BS :2 cents:

Wow that was a long read, lots of padding to flush out some simple facts. But never the less as the old saying goes.

You can shit in one hand and wish in the other, what do you have?

A fucking mess to clean up :1orglaugh

THat's not at all what she said. She said the Hotel was far from what would be called a tourist or business area, and that getting to it was hard. She called it weird but didn't that that was a scam. It was a small piece of the entire story. And don't forget that this story came from Adam Davidson of the New Yorker, not from Rachel Maddow.

More FAKE NEWS

Please report FACTS, not opinions

This isn't Maddow's story.

It might be huge. Even if you put aside that Trump is now the prez', doing this deal might still be illegal.

The question is then: Are there other deals like this? And more importantly, can Prez T end up being influenced because of those deals to perhaps go easy on a bad-ass country? Could he be in a position to be blackmailed? I think these are the bigger questions.

It's a total non story

You guys keep throwing shit at Trump but nothing sticks

That wasn't the two pieces of evidence she or the new yorker made point of, that's what YOU got out of it by watching the first 3 mins of her video..

but, no i don't think much will come out of it as it is probably hands off from both him and any elected officials enough to avoid any real charges.

WHat did Trump do wrong?

I'm guessing that over the course of time since the 1970's you can find PLENTY of times that Trump paid cash both overseas and in the U.S.

Just like every business does on specific occasions. Is it illegal? No.
Not reporting it on your taxes? Yes that is illegal...just like running a stop sign and just as common.

There are very FEW times that anybody receiving cash reports it. But that isn't what Trump did.
He paid OUT cash. And I'd bet you dollars to donuts that any time that Trump has paid anyone in cash he got a receipt and filed taxes on it to write it off.

Don't you do that when you pay cash for something?

Anyway...waitresses, waiters, cab drivers, doormen, etc. across the country definitely understand what it means to get cash instead of credit or a check.

If Rachel Maddow thought her reporting on this on MSNBC's HUGE audience was going to anger real working people...she is greatly mistaken, and as always: out of touch with the people.

Look It's Robbie the great Republican apologist to blame Obama & Hillary like a broken record.. Robbie is your other nick JoushaG because for fucks sake you are as brain dead as he is..
