Major Trump Decision COMPLETELY RUINED his ENTIRE LIFE - Meidas Touch



Trump created his own destroyer in NY Attorney General Leticia James by making the decision over the last 50 years to keep his companies in New York and incorporated in New York.

Michael Popok of Legal AF and practicing NY lawyer, explains that Trump could have avoided the Fraud Trial of the Century by simply packing up his corporate bags 5 years ago and incorporating in Florida. - 10/08/2023.

...rather, I think he just considered himself to be essentially invulnerable. Though I guess you could say, yeah, he thought that because he's dumb! But I think that's more narcissism than stupidity.

that worked for him ALL the time. No one ( even IRS) had the manpower to unravel. So he took advantage - handed everyone a complicated map. And they all went phew.

stuff that he submitted to FEC. Had to give a lot of credit to the financial people who constantly shifted assets around. Good little thieves!

On the other hand, still thought you could take individual transactions and follow their path. Guess that's what they're doing in NY.
