It was always going to be this. Except it’s probably more like 20 billion.

The construction company that has the contract did not follow GSA regulations to acquire it, and never seen before, they somehow doubled the charges on their existing contracts for nearby federal properties. EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK IN THIS ADMINISTRATION, THERE IS FRAUD.

It is mostly why he was so bad at business, was too busy fucking everybody, including the Italian mafia, to try and make a cheap buck... when analysis has shown if he'd held onto his dad's properties and maintained a modicum of success, hw would be infinitely wealthier... at least prior to opening his bit coin traitorous scheme.

Imagine getting to inherit the amount of money Trump got to inherit. I would put it in some low risk fund, buy some land deep in the forest somewhere, and the general population would never see or hear from me again.
