I wish I had a dad like Trump's. "By age 3, Mr. Trump was earning $200,000 a year in today’s dollars from his father’s empire. He was a millionaire by age 8. By the time he was 17, his father had given him part ownership of a 52-unit apartment building. Soon after Mr. Trump graduated from college, he was receiving the equivalent of $1 million a year from his father. The money increased with the years, to more than $5 million annually in his 40s and 50s."

Good for Trump!!!

...

I didn’t know this. His father made a great investment in his son.

The commies at the NYT strain to resurrect the old marxist class-warfare canard in yet another feeble attempt to smear Trump.

The Trumps appear to hate paying taxes almost as much as Bernie Sanders does.

You mean the same tax “dodges” the Schultzburger family has no doubt used to pass the NY Times down through generations without paying estate taxes. Or the Kennedys or any large family farmer or business owner with an tax accountant that is worth anything.

I’m an Estate Planning attorney, and was a CPA doing taxes for about 15 years. In my experience, most people simply do not understand how the Estate/Gift Tax system works, nor the PERFECTLY LEGAL means that many wealthy people use to reduce or eliminate future taxes for their heirs.

I’m not going to read the NY Slimes article - given their record, plus the fact that estates the size of Fred and Mary Trump’s are almost certain to have been closely examined by the IRS, I presume that everything was done legally, given the laws on the books at the time. One thing that I know is that the Trump family has long used the highest quality tax and legal advisors, and that they’d be the biggest fools in the world to cheat (when they can and do make so much money in a perfectly legitimate manner).

Here’s the summary: If it has “New York Times” in the by-line, and it involves Donald Trump or his family, then the information which follows is a fictional as Snow White.

I’ll bet that the NYT’s wouldn’t hold up so well under an FBI investigation.

The Slimes must have Trump confused with Al Sharpton.

Now that these investigative reporters are finished with this one they can find Obama’s birth certificate, why he had a foreign student ID in college, and why one can enter Congress with a modest income on retire as multi-millionaires.

Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father

"Suspect."

In other words, perfectly legal.

“Tax scheme” probably means its legal.

Meanwhile, the NYT supports labeling local taxes as charitable contributions so they don’t get taxed. Talk about a tax scheme.

I suspect that all of that ( if it's even true/factual ) was put in trust band he never saw a penny of it, at those ages.

The SLIMES now need to investigate the Clintons, the Obamas, the Kennedys, Bezos, et al!
