Talk about a "nothing burger"...

Trump International Hotels Management had "opened an account with a Chinese bank having offices in the United States in order to pay the local taxes".

"No deals, transactions or other business activities ever materialised and, since 2015, the office has remained inactive," Mr Garten said.

"Though the bank account remains open, it has never been used for any other purpose," he told the NY Times.

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-54625422
I hope that's true. And it looks like he has paid more in local Chinese taxes than he has in US federal income taxes. What are those "local taxes" for? Maybe sales tax on the tons of Chinese made products he has bought for his hotels?
Which isn't surprising.

With depreciation expenses, and maybe some section 179 expense deductions, i doubt trump has positive income on his K1s from many of his entities.

So the next question is why didn't he disclose it?

Hard to say....but i sort of doubt he is aware of every single individual corporate bank account for every single entity he has ownership stake in.

Now, when you decide to run for president you probably should have someone inform you of things like that....so i am not acting like it was acceptable not to disclose something like that.

It's not acceptable to leave shit out on a job application for working at a restaurant let alone on your financial disclosure form when running for President. I doubt he was required to fill out the disclosure form from memory alone. He was allowed to contact every lawyer and every accountant he has to provide him this info. If you think it's just a memory miss then you're gullible or choosing to see it that way.

Best case scenario is that he is sloppy, uninformed and incompetent at performing even a basic task.

There is no distance between Trump and his family business. He cashed out $17M for services and actions unknown. It appears to be a large bribe.

The Hunter Biden thing is a big deal if you think the president colluding with Russia to spread disinformation is a big deal. It is to me.

It's in the hands of the FBI now. I'll trust them to tell me if it is a big deal or not. It's sketchy enough at first glance to not be something to take seriously at this time. If I learn more about it that is official and trustworthy then I may feel differently. I already voted so it isn't affecting that. We'll see.

How so? If everything being alleged is true, it means Biden may have been wrong in saying he "never" discusses business with Hunter. That's it.

That doesn't bother me. It doesn't sound like it bothers you. So what are we talking about here?

I havent dismissed it yet but it's currently not something that bothers me enough to think that it's a disqualifying thing for Biden. Who knows what the FBI will find when it's investigation concludes. I'd be surprised if this is more than "Hunter Biden did drugs and other people wanted to get access and favors from his Dad". No shit they would want that.

The Hunter Biden stuff was a Russian disinformation op in real time. Trump was already impeached for it. The clumsy follow-up was an attempt to recreate the Comey mistake of four years ago.

We definitely know he is incompetent at completion of basic tasks.

Whether he is required to disclose every single business/corporate bank account is unknown to me. I would assume so? Even if there are thousands....but this isn't a personal checking account, so i don't see it as some sketchy thing for china to funnel him money, especially since china fucking hates him. To me it seems like them having satellite offices in the US makes it sort of unlikely this was used for nefarious reasons.

Will it be trustworthy enough if it comes from anonymous sources and leaks allegedly from people with inside knowledge?

Just ask the actual question that you're trying to dance me into.

If you are a republican, dt can do no wrong. If you are a Democrat, dt does everything wrong.

If you are a Democrat, jb can do no wrong. If you are a republican, jb does everything wrong.

See how that works.

If dt does it, the democrats scream impeach impeach impeach. If dt does it, the republicans say “nothing to see here.”

If we know he is likely going to lose, then i am sure they know it too. They probably have access to better info than us.

I am afraid of what will happen if he somehow pulls off the upset again though, can't lie about that.
