Baron looks very similar in that video shot.
He does tend to favor the President in looks moreso than Melania.
He's identical to him looks wise. Just like our youngest daughter looks almost exactly like me except for coloring, and just like our youngest son looks almost identical to their daddy.
Our oldest is a mix of both my Dh and myself. Our son is his twin and our youngest looks more like me.

Yep
Nope


Why do you think Trump borrowed heavily from a foreign bank like Deutsche?

For every vague article you find like this there are 500 that give a detailed account of facts. His personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, brought documents to the open and closed hearing that showed Trump increased the worth of his assets when he applied for a loan and decreased the worth of his assets when filing taxes. One of many reasons Trump is desperate to keep his tax returns a secret and one reason he is under criminal investigation.

The New York Times won 2 Pulitzer Prizes for their indepth analysis of Trump's finances. The articles are not surprising.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/201 ... taxes.html
The data — printouts from Mr. Trump’s official Internal Revenue Service tax transcripts, with the figures from his federal tax form, the 1040, for the years 1985 to 1994 — ....

The numbers show that in 1985, Mr. Trump reported losses of $46.1 million from his core businesses — largely casinos, hotels and retail space in apartment buildings. They continued to lose money every year, totaling $1.17 billion in losses for the decade.

In fact, year after year, Mr. Trump appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer, The Times found when it compared his results with detailed information the I.R.S. compiles on an annual sampling of high-income earners. His core business losses in 1990 and 1991 — more than $250 million each year — were more than double those of the nearest taxpayers in the I.R.S. information for those years.

Over all, Mr. Trump lost so much money that he was able to avoid paying income taxes for eight of the 10 years. It is not known whether the I.R.S. later required changes after audits.
He had yearly incomes of $50 - $60 million per year from the stock market but his business ventures always lost millions of dollars. The Casinos all went bankrupt, his local airline failed, we know how Trump University went. He has never had any successes with business. One way he was very good at making money and this isn't shocking because only a narcissistic person could do this, he made money from bragging, lying and selling his name as a sign of success. Terrible businessman, genius marketer.

He's a master at pushing paper. My ex husband wanted to do that with my real estate business. Use the "market value" of a property you bought for little of nothing to get loans and then default and file bankruptcy while buying other investment properties. It would have made us a lot of money, but my dad didn't agree. Real estate is one of the easiest ways to legally cheat.

But I'm still the winner! They lied! They cheated! They stole the election!
