Who thinks the Trump Organisation has always been a corrupt crime syndicate?

I don't know if corrupt is the correct word, but cavalier about obeying the law is something they've been famous for for 50 years.

Google this 1973 Federal case:
"United States v. Fred C. Trump, Donald Trump, and Trump Management, Inc."

Let me help:
https://www.clearinghouse.net/detail.php?id=15342

Case Name United States v. Fred C. Trump, Donald Trump, and Trump Management, Inc. FH-NY-0024
Docket / Court 73-1529 ( E. D. N. Y. )
State/Territory New York
Case Type (s) Fair Housing/Lending/Insurance
Attorney Organization U. S. Dept. of Justice Civil Rights Division

Case Summary

This case was brought against Fred and Donald Trump, and their real estate company, in 1973 in the U. S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. We are working to obtain the relevant documents. In the meantime, the facts in the summary are from an article by Michael Kranish and Robert O'Harrow Jr. in the Washington Post, Inside the government’s racial bias case against Donald Trump’s company, and how he fought it (Jan. 23, 2016).

In October 1973, the Justice Department filed this civil rights case in federal court in Brooklyn against Fred Trump, Donald Trump, and their real estate company. The complaint alleged that the firm had committed systemic violations of the Fair Housing Act of 1968 in their many complexes--39 buildings, between them containing over 14,000 apartments. The allegations included evidence from black and white "testers" who had sought to rent apartments; the white testers were told of vacancies; the black testers were not, or were steered to apartment complexes with a higher proportion of racial minorities. The complaint also alleged that Trump employees had placed codes next to housing applicant names to indicate if they were black.

The Trumps retained Roy Cohn, former aide to Senator Joseph McCarthy, to defend them; they counter-claimed against the government, seeking $100 million in damages for defamation.

The case was assigned to District Judge Edward R. Neaher. He dismissed the counterclaim and allowed the Fair Housing Act suit to proceed.

After two years, the matter settled with a consent decree, signed June 10, 1975. It included the ordinary disclaimer of liability (the settlement was “in no way an admission” of a violation"), but prohibited the Trumps from "discriminating against any person in the terms, conditions, or privileges of sale or rental of a dwelling." Fred and Donald Trump were ordered to "thoroughly acquaint themselves personally on a detailed basis" with the Fair Housing Act. The agreement also required the Trumps to place ads informing minorities they had an equal opportunity to seek housing at their properties. According to a contemporary article in the New York Times, Trump Management was required to furnish the New York Urban League with a weekly list of all apartment vacancies, for two years; the League would get three days to provide qualified applicants for every fifth vacancy in Trump buildings where fewer than 10 percent of the tenants were black.

The Justice Department called the decree “one of the most far-reaching ever negotiated.” Newspaper headlines echoed that assessment. The New York Amsterdam News, for example, titled its article “Minorities win housing suit,” and told readers that “qualified Blacks and Puerto Ricans now have the opportunity to rent apartments owned by Trump Management.”

In his autobiography, Donald Trump took a different view: “In the end the government couldn’t prove its case, and we ended up making a minor settlement without admitting any guilt.”

Everything you just mentioned needs to have biden's name and picture not Trump. The reason why people don't like Trump is because he was so straightforward and honest and God giving and he actually gives a fuck about the state in the law enforcement and the military and so forth it's about the people now when you talk about vitaministration the fucking thieves that they are all they want to do is destroy the US and maybe you're on that band with them obviously do you want to destroy the US you want it to be a communism state so if that's the case you can bury the fucking hole and go to hell with them. All Biden has done is raised inflation raised the gas prices everything he's fucking promised he's fucking screwed us over on told us there would be no mandates from day one that he would get rid of covid which isn't going anywhere and it's getting worse and fucked up Afghanistan by killing our US troops pulled over all of these illegals to come across the border so that all of these terrorists and fucking people that aren't supposed to be here are coming over here raping murdering and killing us people and yet nothing happens to him oh and let's not forget that he killed the whole Bell thing so if you get arrested you can get back out tomorrow even if you killed somebody what kind of fucking bullshit is that so if you're one of them you can burn and fucking hell too motherfucker. TRUMP 2024 MOTHERFUCKER AND THIS COMING November WERE TAKEN OVER GO REPUBLICANS FUCK YOU AND ALL YOUR DEMOCRATIC FUCKING VOTERS

[MelonSoda]

I miss having a clown as a president making Americans look even more dumb than they already are.

[OlderAndWiser]

Mentally deformed leftists have always had that thought. It is a symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

[Goforit1010]

I don't know about Trump. But I'm POSITIVE the Clinton's and I definitely KNOW the Biden's are a crime syndicate! After all, Hunter's been making foreign deals for "the Big man" for years now.

Trump has no need of a crime syndicate as wealthy as he is. Kinda hard to bribe a billionaire. Whadya gonna do, offer him a few million more? To Trump, a few million $$ is pocket change! If anything, a crime syndicate would be coming to HIM for $$$, not the other way around.

[UCrayCray]

“I don't know about Trump.”
Clearly

[abc3643]

You are serious about what you wrote?

"Biden's [sic] are a crime syndicate"
Biden has been in politics for 50 years. If this was so, it would have come out long ago.

"Trump has no need of a crime syndicate as wealthy as he is. Kinda hard to bribe a billionaire. Whadya gonna do, offer him a few million more? To Trump, a few million $$ is pocket change! If anything, a crime syndicate would be coming to HIM for $$$, not the other way around."

Actually, if this was so, then he wouldn't need loans, would he? His entire empire is in a bit of trouble and major banks aren't lending to the Trump Organization anymore. Partly because of the chronic overvaluation of their assets and effectively giving different values on different documents is quite possibly to the point of fraud. This is why New York State has a civil investigation about it, but the Federal Government is doing a criminal investigation.

Fortunately, for him, he still seems in the black.

According to Forbes in an article dated 30 NOV 2021:
Trump Organization Pays Off Loan It Extended Last Year
www.forbes.com/.../?sh=66c76931bcce
"As of September, Trump had an estimated $1.3 billion of debt against $3.8 billion of assets."

So, that's says Trump is worth $2.5 billion overall. While a billion dollars is nothing to sneeze at, that's nothing compared to most billionaires.

(more)

[abc3643]

Again, from Forbes in OCT 2021:
Donald Trump Falls Off The Forbes 400 For First Time In 25 Years
www.forbes.com/.../?sh=2f3a9d42f62b

Donald Trump is worth an estimated $2.5 billion, leaving him $400 million short of the cutoff to make this year’s Forbes 400 list of America’s richest people. The real estate mogul is just as wealthy as he was a year ago, when he stood at No. 339 on the ranking, but he is down $600 million since the start of the pandemic. Technology stocks, cryptocurrencies and other assets have thrived in the Covid era. But big-city properties—which make up the bulk of Trump’s fortune—have languished, knocking the former president out of the nation’s most exclusive club.

If Trump is looking for someone to blame, he can start with himself. Five years ago, he had a golden opportunity to diversify his fortune. Fresh off the 2016 election, federal ethics officials were pushing Trump to divest his real estate assets. That would have allowed him to reinvest the proceeds into broad-based index funds and assume office free of conflicts of interest.

[Goforit1010]

@abc3643 - Soooo... all that you said makes Trump a "crime syndicate"? All you did was highlight some of the details about his finances, specifically his "billionaire" status. Like most people investing in property, he's going to have some litigation concerning his investing. That hardly places him at the level of criminal.

Hunter Biden selling paintings at hundreds of thousands (or more) to unnamed foreign sources has all the underpinnings of graft, bribery, and "pay for play", yet the FBI refuses to investigate that drug addict because of his father. He's still making back-door deals for "The Big Man".

The Clinton Foundation is nothing more than an elaborate "Go Fund Me" scheme for them. Nearly 90% of that Foundation's donations go to the Clinton's back pocket.

And yes, I AM serious about what I wrote.

[abc3643]

No I don't think The Trump Organization is a crime syndicate. I never said that and, in my own post, I alluded to that.

[OpenClose]

More or less.

Like people all over the country were like "this guy is the real deal!" And everyone from New York who had to put up with him for decades were basically like "wait... you guys are actually taking this guy seriously? You... know he our biggest con-man, right?"

[fjb2021]

So Bye Don? As they say? Queer faggot ass magot. Just words, like me being a cracker, get over it. He's your rep!

[OpenClose]

I appear to have discovered the speaker of an entirely new language.

[fjb2021]

In this day and age you have left vs right. Douche bag vs turd sandwich. This is not new.

[fjb2021]

What's new is the left is too damn radical. People say, I'm not right or left, I'm not Democrat or Republican. FINE. Which is correct to stand behind? If you find yourself so "CENTRIST", and you don't like a douche or turd sandwich do nothing. Otherwise pick a side, the correct side.

[FilmGuy93]

Even if it was true, which it isn't, does anyone actually give a shit? I mean Washington is full of bureaucrats that, on a daily basis, are a billion times worse than Trump on his worst day.

Even if Trump was a scoundrel, I never had any doubts about his desire to do right by the country.

[fjb2021]

Fucking aye. Right.

[FunkyMonkee]

Not at all!! How could ANYONE with a working brain even THINK of that? What you SHOULD be asking is the same question about Hitlary, Pelosi, Waters, Biden, Soetoro, Bush, Nixon, Kissinger, LBJ, AOC, Camel Hairs, Cheney, and loads of others!

[Anonymous]

I love how we have images like this saying that Trump is the worst thing to ever spawn on the face of the Earth but never go into very much detail why. It's amazing how this all happened when he started running as a republican too, if he was a Democrat nobody would be saying any of this about him.

[Avicenna]

Anonymous CCP trolls like yourself (talk about a crime syndicate that CCP and its US branch, aka the "Democratic Party").

[Stoner710]

Maybe I know the Clinton foundation as been, Unfortunately both sides are incredibly corrupt

[fjb2021]

Conservative values are right vs wrong. Period. What's your point?

[Stoner710]

@fjb2021 you need a religious moral community to produce the United States and what should become

[fjb2021]

That's not entirely right. I'm agnostic and I like it, and I don't care about In God We Trust on money, I don't care about Pledge Of Allegiance at school board meetings or Elementary school. We need to oust the jack ass ness of Critical Race Theory, and everyone being a pussy in general.

[Stoner710]

@fjb2021 true CRT needs to be banned frankly critical theory should be banned as well. The pussyness of the United States nowadays comes from not having father’s in the house hold men teach there sons how to be men

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

This man has be known for years to be crook. He's currently under investigation for fraudulent practices.

It's amazing how people defend this man blindly.

[fjb2021]

His pani c cool guy , you are conservative though. We know this. He's just a representative, and Biden don't do that, so you are still a cool guy.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@fjb2021: Wrong. I'm no conservative politically. I lean center left.

[fjb2021]

No you don't. You aren't a Biden junky.

[fjb2021]

Face it. There is no centrist. If you lean left, you like Biden in this day and age. Center left? Get out. Left regime vs right? You are right. And correct.

[fjb2021]

I know it's a bitch. Libertarian comes into play. But you have to enjoy the right for now.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@fjb2021: Your mistake is to assume I'm a current modern day American liberal.

My politics lean center left because I believe in Unversial healthcare, free community College and trade schools, taxing the mega rich at a much higher rate and replacing any system that doesn't benefit the average Joe or Jane.

[fjb2021]

Where you are wrong is we need less government. Not more.

[fjb2021]

Straight up, right vs wrong. Vote vs no. Do you stuff it? Not vote? Or do you vote correct? I don't like the "I'm not this way or that" but I vote because I hate the Orangeman. That is fucked.

[MickHardin]

With so much venom in the political arena, how would we know what's true or a lie? Just live your life.

[fjb2021]

This is true. Values still supersede. Trump is the man of the times and of our values period. Like it or not. Hate him or love him.

[Anonymous]

I feel bad for Trump he is the most dangerous person who was ever been US President and ask yourself who is more dangerous Trump or Biden?

[Anonymous]

Everyone, please report questions like this to get the trolls off of gag. @girlsaskguys

[goaded]

Questions like this one?

Which has to happen to turn America around and be great again? ↗

[fjb2021]

He's a rep, nothing more. And he is the man of the hour, the man of the people.

[Anonymous]

His existence is based upon misrepresentation of himself and oftentimes others.

[Anonymous]

it's a criminal organization run by an incompetent bafoon.

[Anonymous]

Yup, they hVe always been corrupt. The funny thing is Wattle followers believe his crap

[fjb2021]

And Biden got 81 quadrillion votes.

[MCheetah]

You're a retard. That is all.

[Anonymous]

Americans are so fucking dumb.

[OddBeMe]

I don’t think, I’ve read the evidence.

[fjb2021]

@OddBeMe You surprise even me. But who did your dumbass vote for?

[fjb2021]

Evidence? You all know everything is fake. A daughter diddler is the most evidence we have. Fuck your feelings. Biden was in the shower, at an unappropriated age with his daughter, probably fingered her clit.

[OddBeMe]

@fjb2021 well is a crime syndicate include taking money from foreign countries? If so yeah trump qualifies.

[fjb2021]

You make me have to point out the obvious, always, the Biden's last name should be Triad.

[888theGreat]

no one that had a mind. Only idiots do.

[Waldoe]

I see you posted this anonomously... COWARD !

[joeldalton]

Lmao.
