(10,123 posts)He'll lie about how smart he was to avoid taxes, etc.
But it will hurt him in the polls some as more people learn that he was a fraud claiming to be worth 10 billion $. Or realizing they paid more in taxes than he has. Or being unable to relate to his $70,000 hair expenses when they made a fuss over John Edwards $500 haircut.
It feeds the NY fraud case - which is his biggest fear. It affirms his desperation to retain the Presidency - the only way for him to continue this charade out of jail.
It should be brought up as to why a person like this should be disqualified from picking a Supreme Court Justice when not only does he intend to contest the election in front of this court but he's obviously been using the courts to cover his fraudulent ways.

He is tanking his business on purpose for the express purpose of lowering his tax liability while he lives lavishly on the millions of dollars that pass through. He claims to be wealthier than he is in any event. In reality he cannot even claim that he is a normal millionaire who smartly reduces his taxes, he goes far and beyond the typical loophole finding rich person.

(13,036 posts)This is why he wants to stay in office - prevent having to pay creditors, get away with tax fraud, avoid being prosecuted by NY AG, and continuing his grift. He's a fraud & a loser.

(4,552 posts)Recently trying claim he is.
He was doing an analysis of his assets, etc and was trying to make himself sound very authoritative. He said (paraphrasing), As much as people want to claim he isnt, in fact he is.
Well, unless you look at his assets versus his liabilities, and the assets valuation specifically, I cant believe he is worth Billions.
And by the way, even if he is worth Billions, so what??
I care much more about his overall debt load. And to whom he is indebted.
Thats the issue. Who has him by the short hairs??
