Nächster Teil der Trump-Steuer-Recherche.
| | Behind the campaign’s fund-raising disarray lay a personal financial storm.
Mr. Trump’s tax records reveal that when he decided to leverage his brand in the political arena, its true bottom line bore little resemblance to the gold-plated success story he was hawking to the American people.
Most of his core businesses were losing money. The deep draughts of cash from “The Apprentice” and the resulting fame that had sustained him for a decade were steadily running dry.
It did not help when NBC, which aired Miss Universe and “The Apprentice,” cut ties with him after he announced his candidacy in 2015 with racist comments about immigrants. Nor did it help when Deutsche Bank turned down his request for a loan for work at Turnberry, the Scottish golf resort that he had bought for roughly $60 million in 2014 and that was on its way to gobbling up almost $80 million more by the end of 2016, according to tax-return information. By year’s end, he would agree to pay $25 million to settle a class-action lawsuit involving allegations that Trump University was a fraud.
Whether for his businesses, his campaign or both, Mr. Trump was furiously moving money, his tax records show. | |
Zwischenzeitlich ging fast gar nix mehr, aber dann tauchten plötzlich 21 Millionen Dollar aus so einer Businessgeschichte aus Las Vegas auf. Magic!
| | And there was another maneuver, the one that experts consulted by The Times described as highly unusual: the more than $21 million in one-time payments that the Trump-Ruffin joint venture paid out in 2016.
By analyzing the tax-return information and public records, The Times was able to trace the flow of money — first to companies that Mr. Trump alone controls, and from there to Mr. Trump himself. | |
| | Then, seven weeks before the election, something else unusual happened. The Trump-Ruffin partnership borrowed $30 million from City National Bank in Los Angeles. Mr. Trump signed the loan documents in New York City, but tax records show that Mr. Ruffin personally guaranteed nearly the entire amount, should the company ever be unable to pay.
The partnership was not required to disclose on its tax returns how the borrowed money would be spent. But the timing of the loan, combined with the partnership’s lack of available cash that year, strongly suggests that the loan funded the millions of dollars in payments to Mr. Trump. | |

Statement by the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD): October 15 Presidential Debate Will Not Proceed
| | Washington, D.C. (October 9, 2020) – On October 8, CPD announced that for the health and safety of all involved, the second presidential debate, scheduled for October 15 in Miami, would be conducted virtually. Subsequently, the campaigns of the two candidates who qualified for participation in the debate made a series of statements concerning their respective positions regarding their willingness to participate in a virtual debate on October 15, and each now has announced alternate plans for that date.
It is now apparent there will be no debate on October 15, and the CPD will turn its attention to preparations for the final presidential debate scheduled for October 22.
Subject to health security considerations, and in accordance with all required testing, masking, social distancing and other protocols, the debate will take place at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee.
As announced on June 23, the debate will be divided into six 15-minute segments. The topics for the six segments will be selected and announced by the moderator at least one week before the debate. Kristen Welker of NBC News will serve as moderator for the debate.
Both candidates have agreed to participate in the October 22 debate. | |

Meanwhile:
| | | President Donald Trump will emerge from his Covid-forced isolation Saturday for a speech from a White House balcony, according to a White House official, allowing the public its first independent glimpse in days of a leader recovering from coronavirus. Two thousand guests have been invited to the White House, according to a person familiar with the event, despite concerns about a late September ceremony in the Rose Garden that may have acted as the nexus for a viral outbreak that has ripped through Trump's staff. | |

Es gibt da in der Mitte des Artikels dieses Bild mit den Stahlhelmen. Ich frage mich bis heute, wie das überhaupt ansatzweise zusammenhalten konnte. Das sind alles Menschen mit einem Gehirn. Man hätte wissen müssen, dass das gesamte Vorhaben von Anfang an zum Scheitern verurteilt war. Und trotzdem hat (fast) jeder mitgemacht. Ja, auch dein Opa.
Vielleicht ist das Problem auch unsere eigene Vorstellungskraft. Was es mit einem macht, wenn 10 deiner 11 Freunde sagen: "Du musst da mitmachen!"
// Ich halte den Post in diesem Thread für angebracht, weil man in den derzeit stattfindenden "qualitativen" Wählerbefragungen die gleiche Blindheit wiederfindet. Nein, der Typ tut nichts "für euch". Dass es deinem Waffenladen jetzt gerade besser geht, ist nur unmittelbares Symptom.

Faszinierende Geschichte, wie Trump letztlich doch ins Krankenhaus gegangen ist. Oder gegangen wurde.
| | | Persuading him to leave the White House required an intervention from his doctors, members of the White House operations staff, the Secret Service, and his son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner. They had failed to stop the mass deaths of high-risk Americans, but they were going to save Trump, the most important high-risk American of them all. They told him, “This isn’t just your choice. This really isn’t about you. It’s about the presidency. Our job is to protect the presidency, and you occupy it.” They asked him to think about the military and everyone else whose life would be upended if the state of the country’s leadership was in doubt. | |
Und der Held war offenbar ziemlich kleinlaut.
| | “I could be one of the diers,” he said.
The person on the other end of the line couldn’t forget that unusual word the president used: dier. A seldom-said dictionary standard, it was a classic Trumpism, at once sinister and childlike. If being a loser was bad, being a dier was a lot worse. Losers can become winners again. Diers are losers forever. But aren’t we all diers in the end? Donald Trump, the least self-reflective man in America, was contemplating his own mortality.
He said it again: “I could be one of the diers.” | |
