One example of how Dump cheats on taxes: Donald J Trump State Park an hour north of NYC

wilfred chan @wilfredchan (The Nation)

I went to Donald J Trump State Park an hour north of NYC. Nobody knows it's there because it isn't a real park. It's barren land Trump bought for $2.75 M hoping to build a golf course. When it failed, he donated it to NY State—claiming it was worth $100 M—for a huge tax writeoff.

It's unclear the exact amount Trump claimed on his tax return, though Trump's 2016 campaign said the land was worth $26.1 million. It's a joke. There is literally nothing on the property. This is the "parking lot." The rest is just overgrown bushes and a single empty field.

It's tricky to find Donald J. Trump State Park because there are few signs pointing to it—almost as if the state doesn't want to admit it exists. This also makes it strangely peaceful. A good place to go for a walk and think about how the US President committed massive tax fraud.
