"SNIP....

“President Trump has filed financial disclosure statements that appear to misstate the value and profitability of his Scotland golf courses by $165 million, possibly violating federal laws that are punishable by jail time,” the HuffPost reports.

“Trump claimed in his 2018 U.S. filing that his Turnberry and Aberdeen resorts were each worth more than $50 million. For that same time period, he filed balance sheets with the United Kingdom government showing that their combined debt exceeded their assets by 47.9 million British pounds ― the equivalent of $64.8 million at the exchange rate on Dec. 31, 2017, the date of the last U.K. filing available.”

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes

Doubt it,but,having to inflate the Real Estate Value by some 100+ million tells you a story that I have thought was happening all along. The Guy is Under Water my Friends and it is getting worse each passing day. Appears Donnie Boy is in Violation of some Loan Covenants,and he needs to inflate values in order to try and Reify his Losing Real Estate Assets to avoid Default and eventual Bankruptcy.

All you Real Estate speculator's know of what I speak.
