Documents obtained by ProPublica show stark differences in how Donald Trump’s businesses reported some expenses, profits and occupancy figures for two Manhattan buildings, giving a lender different figures than they provided to New York City tax authorities. The discrepancies made the buildings appear more profitable to the lender — and less profitable to the officials who set the buildings’ property tax.

For instance, Trump told the lender that he took in twice as much rent from one building as he reported to tax authorities during the same year, 2017. He also gave conflicting occupancy figures for one of his signature skyscrapers, located at 40 Wall Street.

Legal above board tax reporting is for chumps.

ProPublica is a leftist, anti-Trump, fact-free website.

Great.  Then it's probably not true I won't have to worry about it.

Um.... did you miss this pertinent part...?

“The city is looking into this property, and if there has been any underreporting, we will take appropriate action.”

Note the pertinent part.... which would be that big fat "if".

Oh, and if you're concerned and really want to talk about 'above board tax reporting'.....

just ask most of Obama's administration back in 2009-2015.... most of whom were proven tax cheats.   Oh .... and ask the Clintons, also, while you're at it.

Oh wait.  They're Democrats.  That's different and they're special.

Nevermind.

I can't do anything about the crimes of the Obama administration. Seems like something the AG should be looking into.

They are aghast, to learn an income property owners would have two sets of books; one for tax man, one for lender.

I seriously doubt that most anti-Trumps reach a position in life, to face issues like that.

They are more comfortable with the government, wning property.

An investigation into that will become one of the Articles of Impeachment, if they ever get that far.

Point being.... that "if".   And ... I have to point out that, after all this time (three going on four years now), if there was any there there, anything illegal, it would already have been uncovered, identified and acted on.   But that's just me.

Well..... just for the sake of accuracy.... it was probably done by whoever Trump hired to handle his tax stuff.   You know.... like an accountant.  So yeah....  999yawn

Yeah right... Whatever, however... Still the same, and at his direction.... Doesn't matter. Still a zero.

The democrats have attacked Donald Trump unceasingly with impeachment charges ranging from treason to trespass from the day he won only to have each new attack exposed as part of baseless partisan plots to damage Trump’s re-election (assuming that impeachment failed).

This is just another try on that long list of democrat desperation moves.

What the Democrats have done for the past three plus years is, at best, harassment (there oughta be a law preventing that).... and at worst, sedition and high treason (there is a law),  Unfortunately, if you're a special class of people with a magic "D" beside your name...(some animals are more equal than others)...you get away with sedition, high treason and other crimes, including murder).

So is Once-ler the editor in chief or merely a contributor?
