Tax return revelations show that he has paid no income tax over the past couple of decades, and brags about it, and has repeatedly lied about being unable to release tax returns under audit even after the IRS and every economist and tax expert have come ​ out and said that this is not the case. He has not even provided evidence that he is under ​ audit. In fact, he could release the first two pages of his tax returns, which detail deductions, income, and charitable giving (among other things), since these aren’t affected by audit. He has refused to do so for unknown reasons. (http://www.newsweek.com/2016/09/16/donald-trump-tax-returns-495955.html) 2.

Outright lied to the US Securities and Exchange Commision (SEC) in 1999 by excluding a one time charge of 80 million dollars (while including a one time charge of 17 million), because if they didn’t the total earnings wouldn’t have met prior expectations. The SEC ordered a cease-and-desist. (http://money.cnn.com/2002/01/16/news/sec_trump/) (https://www.sec.gov/news/headlines/trumphotels.htm) 4.

(http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/28/news/trump-apartment-tenants/) 12. Trump asked the building manager to spy on the tenants, even detailing their habits and activities.

(http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/28/news/trump-apartment-tenants/) 13. Trump settled the above case for $500,000 for each attorney, with the agreement that Trump could monitor repairs for 5 years.

However, court and phone records show that they filed the request at 10AM and called him immediately after. 24.He then countersued for $100 million dollars, delaying the process further. 25.He ignored discovery demands - legal requirements to turn over documents - even challenging their necessity. After 6 months of ignoring deadlines and demands, the attorney called and was told they had no plans to answer any questions. 26.When granted a subpoena, Trump admitted that they had been destroying all corporate documents for six months and didn’t have any document retention program in order to “save space”. 27.When they announced a date to investigate the headquarters, Trump pretended they didn’t know it was supposed to be that day. He then claimed that they were harassed by the investigators, even employees who made sworn statements later refused to testify under oath. 28.After a year and a half, they finally reached a settlement where Trump’s organization agreed to no discrimination against minorities. The government sent in undercover minority applicants, and they were once ​ again discriminated against compared to the undercover white applicants. ​ Trump went to court again in 1978, where they once again reached a settlement. (http://www.newsweek.com/2016/11/11/donald-trump-companies-destroyed-emails- documents-515120.html) 29. Trump’s organization once failed to turn over emails and documents related to a lawsuit because “they didn’t have any servers with emails”. Sworn statements by tech employees in the organization later contradicted this, and technology service providers later produced statements and evidence that they did indeed have email servers at the time. Investigations showed that they didn’t have any email data before January 2001… the same month Trump learned about information regarding the lawsuit. (http://www.newsweek.com/2016/11/11/donald-trump-companies-destroyed-emails- documents-515120.html) 30. Trump once argued under oath that a “Donald Trump Development” is different from a “Development By Donald Trump” to escape liability by fraud. 31. Trump called for South Korea to launch their own defense system, including nuclear weapons program. Donald Trump’s business partner, Daewoo Engineering and 4 Construction, is the leading South Korean industry involved in nuclear energy and would benefit immensely.

A podium on a stage held a banner with the slogan “Make America Great Again!” All heads turned as sixty-nine-year-old Donald John Trump made a grand entrance, rid- ing down a multistory escalator with his wife, Melania. Trump biogra- pher Gwenda Blair describes the scene: “Gazing out, they seemed for a moment like a royal couple viewing subjects from the balcony of the palace.”1 Trump fl ashed two thumbs up and took his place on the stage to proclaim his intention to campaign for the Republican nomination for president. Unlike the other politicians hoping to be elected president in No- vember 2016, Trump was a billionaire and international celebrity who had been in the public eye for decades. Trump was known as a negotia- tor, salesman, television personality, and builder of glittering skyscrap- ers. He was involved in high-end real estate transactions, casinos, golf courses, beauty pageants, and the reality show Th e Apprentice. Trump’s name was spelled out in shiny gold letters on luxury skyscrapers, golf courses, resorts, and other properties throughout the world.

The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness. —Victor Hugo, Les Misérables Author’s Note Much of this book comes from my own memory. For events during which I was not present, I relied on conversations and interviews, many of which are recorded, with members of my family, family friends, neighbors, and associates. I’ve reconstructed some dialogue according to what I personally remember and what others have told me. Where dialogue appears, my intention was to re-create the essence of conversations rather than provide verbatim quotes. I have also relied on legal documents, bank statements, tax returns, private journals, family documents, correspondence, emails, texts, photographs, and other records. For general background, I relied on the New York Times, in particular the investigative article by David Barstow, Susanne Craig, and Russ Buettner that was published on October 2, 2018; the Washington Post; Vanity Fair; Politico; the TWA Museum website; and Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking. For background on Steeplechase Park, I thank the Coney Island History Project website, Brooklyn Paper, and a May 14, 2018, article on 6sqft.com by Dana Schulz.

  • Measuring the Assurances of Female Political Leaders: Hillary Clinton On
    “Measuring the Assurances of Female Political Leaders: Hillary Clinton on the Campaign Trail” Paper presented to panel B10: “Responsiveness and Representation” May 31, 201, 10:30-12 pm, CL 305 Annual meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Regina Saskatchewan, May 30-June 1, 2018 Abstract: A well-established maxim within the political leadership literature holds that most leaders, most of the time, seek to assure citizens in their public communications. The provision of such certainty is thought to be integral to the exercise of leadership: uncertain citizens seek advice and reassurance, and so they turn to political leaders who can provide such goods (Downs, 1957). This understanding has been studied empirically mainly with respect to male leaders (de Clercy, 2005). This study asks: do female political leader also communicate certainty and uncertainty to citizens and, if so, how may such messages compare with those of male leaders? The study focuses on Hillary Clinton, the first woman to campaign for the American presidency. Leader communications are evaluated by analysing the content of Clinton’s three televised 2016 presidential debate performances using Atlas.ti, a qualitative content analysis program. These findings are compared with the same speech sets for her opponent, Donald Trump. Then, these values are compared with similar data for a sample of two other male presidential candidates. The study finds Clinton fits the role of a classic transactional leader and given the small number of cases under study here, there seems to be no systematic difference in how she communicated assurances to citizens based on her gender. Copyright Cristine de Clercy, 2018.

    As its stock collapsed, Trump’s firm gave him huge bonuses and paid for his jet The Washington Post By Drew Harwell // June 12, 2016 https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/as-its-stock-collapsed-trumps-firm-gave- him-huge-bonuses-and-paid-for-his-jet/2016/06/12/58458918-2766-11e6-b989- 4e5479715b54_story.html It was promoted as the chance of a lifetime: Mom-and-pop investors could buy shares in celebrity businessman Donald Trump’s first public company, Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts. Their investments were quickly depleted. The company known by Trump’s initials, DJT, crumbled into a penny stock and filed for bankruptcy after less than a decade, costing shareholders millions of dollars, even as other casino companies soared. In its short life, Trump the company greatly enriched Trump the businessman, paying to have his personal jet piloted and buying heaps of Trump-brand merchandise. Despite losing money every year under Trump’s leadership, the company paid Trump handsomely, including a $5 million bonus in the year the company’s stock plummeted 70 percent. Many of those who lost money were Main Street shareholders who believed in the Trump brand, such as Sebastian Pignatello, a retired private investor in Queens. By the time of the 2004 bankruptcy, Pignatello’s 150,000 shares were worth pennies on the dollar. “He had been pillaging the company all along,” said Pignatello, who joined shareholders in a lawsuit against Trump that has since been settled. “Even his business allies, they were all fair game. He has no qualms about screwing anybody.

Max Bergmann: Trump fired the FBI director for investigating him. He admitted to obstruction of justice on national television. -BREAK- Max Bergmann: Episode 2: Bankrupt. The Trump Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City was supposed to be the eighth wonder of the world. When it opened in April 1990 it was the largest casino complex ever built, taking up 17 acres of prime real-estate on Atlantic City's famed boardwalk. It was also the most expensive casino ever built. Donald Trump shelled out $1.1 billion to get it operating. The Trump Taj Mahal was exactly what you'd expect from a Trump casino. It was bigger, more expensive, and it was tackier, decked out top to bottom in blinding neon lights and faux-Indian spires. It was an over-the-top effort to exude ostentatious wealth.
