It is a good point; and the truth is we've never seen any financials on any of it. There are a hundred ways of financing business expansion, and we don't have any idea what routes were taken. ProPublica has exposed all this information on Trump's financial dealings, NONE OF WHICH has the ring of truth. NYT, same thing.

For example, it is commonly mentioned that Trump's organization was "flagged" multiple times for money laundering. Sounds terrible. Of course, no one ever produced evidence of a CTR or evidence of any government entity acting on these deposits. CTRs are not a taxable event, EVER. Neither are proof of any crime or even evidence of a crime.

These are media attacks. CTRs are issued all the time, and almost 100% of them are false positives.

It is definitely enough to occupy CJ for month after month, as he develops new conspiracy theories to be broadcast as though they were fact.

The pool of suckers willing to put money into Trump projects has pretty much dried up. Not that there aren't any, but his track record for screwing such people over is pretty expansive and well known.
