    That’s too bad. Otherwise we could get the IRS to investigate him for tax fraud.

      No - it’s good. He’s inflated his net worth, so we get him for all the loans he’s gotten using that false valuation.

          Say what you will about Donald Trump’s net worth being fake, those teats of his are very real.

              teats get kinda sticky after they’re sucked on for a while… usually dab them in iodine to keep sanitized…

    So, how many years is $3.6 Billion in fraudulent reporting worth on the sentencing guidelines?

      Civil courts have a lower standard of proof than criminal. That’s why when a civil court found that Trump had raped Carroll, he didn’t automatically go to prison. Same deal here: the relevant tax fraud would still need to be proved in criminal court.

    Which do you suppose Trump fears more: penury or prison?
