Actually no mention of the story. Why print news of you losing, even if it is losing a lawsuit, or at least informed of one against you. Bet you Ricky will make a few bucks on EBay hawking the original.

Stupid and desperate is more like it, you ain't seen nothing yet, Donald is about to get real desperate and real stupid. What is he gonna say to the FBI and a grand jury? If Donald is put under oath he's fucked and knows it.

Wasn't Ricky the name of one of the detectives he sent to Hawaii in search of Obama's birth certificate?
Anybody who serves papers on Trump better have their cellphone out and the video recording on, along with a witness. In fact, invite the press.

I’m pretty sure he believes he can lie his way out of it. We’ve already seen that oaths mean nothing to him.
If he ever testifies in a trial, a perjury charge will soon follow.

Since the Russians were not using the condos Trump thought nothing of his family and friends squatting.

Something tells me that was a habit with Trump, once he got away with something and made money, he repeated it till he wore it out. A close look at the books might reveal several such arrangements and perhaps it could have been a means of blackmailing people. Just infer that it's tax free to them and many won't claim it on their taxes as income.

heres what i think is so hilarious: all of his shady shit would have never been investigated if he kept doing his thing.
his narcissism got the best of him and he exposed himself for his brief 4 yrs of potus. now he's a public figure and is subject to scrutiny.

Michael Cohen on Whether Trump Will Run for President Again, Plus: His Near Run-In with Ivanka
Michael Cohen was Donald Trump’s personal attorney and “fixer” before turning on his boss and landing behind bars and, later, house arrest. “Extra’s” Jenn Lahmers caught up with Cohen, who opened up about his life now and his former employer.

Cohen should know Donald is gonna go to prison, when that happens all this shit about starting a media company, or running for POTUS will end. By then the rest of his family and cast of miscreants will be in shit up to their necks, or in squeal deals and Donald will face the rest of his legal problems from inside a cell. Already Donald dropped out of the news except for his legal problems and that's not bad news at all for most folks. Soon though Donald will be making headlines with investigations, criminal and civil trials. When they put him in the slammer it will be headline news, ditto for when they indict him and find him guilty as charged.
a lot.

The Trump presidency was a disaster for the Trump Organization (yahoo.com)
The Trump presidency was a disaster for the Trump Organization
The Trump Organization didn't exactly thrive during former President Donald Trump's time in office, Bloomberg reports. After compiling income and valuation numbers from Trump's own financial disclosures and the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Bloomberg found that most of his ventures took a hit in recent years, with the coronavirus pandemic, the fallout from the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and "an aging portfolio of proprieties" all playing a significant role.
Since 2016, the valuation of Trump's commercial real estate business is down 26 percent, and his most valuable holding — a 30 percent stake in two skyscrapers in San Francisco and New York that makes up about one-third of Trump's fortunate — has fallen by $80 million since 2019. Trump's resorts and hotels portfolio, which includes the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., and Trump National Doral Miami, has also suffered, although Mar-a-Lago brought in slightly more money last year than it did in 2020. Golf, Bloomberg notes, has weathered the pandemic better than some of Trump's other businesses because it's outdoors and a fairly socially distant activity, but some of his courses have still lost money.
Trump also loves to license his name, and his controversial nature appears to have caused problems for him in that regard. The PGA Championship will no longer be played at his New Jersey course, Florida's West Palm Beach voted to strip his name from Trump Plaza, and New York City is trying to pull his contracts to run ice rinks, a golf course, and a carousel.
Finally, some of the struggles appear to be natural outcomes of holding public office. Trump could no longer be a reality television star or make movie cameos while president, so the income he used to receive from entertainment plunged, and he stopped publishing books, as well. Of course, those could be ways he'll to build back some of his lost fortune, post-presidency. Read the full analysis at Bloomberg.

Print up some fake cease and desist orders and pass them out to vendors, like you work for Trump's lawyer. Give them a bill from Trump for a $1000 dollars too. Just walk up and say "you've been served" and walk away.

Trump's taxes in hand, Manhattan DA's probe heats up (yahoo.com)
Trump's taxes in hand, Manhattan DA's probe heats up
NEW YORK (AP) — With former President Donald Trump’s tax returns finally in hand, a team of New York prosecutors led by a newly hired former mob-buster is sending out fresh subpoenas and meeting face-to-face with key witnesses, scrutinizing Trump's business practices in granular detail.
Amid the swirl of activity, the Manhattan district attorney's office is scheduled Friday to meet again with Trump's longtime former personal lawyer Michael Cohen, according to a person familiar with the investigation.
It would be the eighth time he has spoken with investigators working for District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr., dating to Cohen's time in federal prison for tax evasion and campaign finance violations.
The person familiar with the inquiry wasn’t authorized to speak publicly about the interview and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.
In a recent interview with Cohen, investigators asked questions about Trump's Seven Springs estate as part of an inquiry into whether the value of the 213-acre Westchester County property was improperly inflated to reduce his taxes.
Investigators asked Cohen about individuals involved in the appraisal of the estate and benefits derived from its valuation, including a $21 million income tax deduction.
Cohen was released to home confinement last year amid coronavirus fears, and his recent meetings have been conducted via video conference.
Vance's office declined to comment, as did Cohen's lawyer, Lanny Davis. A message seeking comment was sent to the Trump Organization.
Vance announced last week that he would leave office at the end of the year and not seek reelection, but in a memo to staff, he stressed that the investigation wouldn't stop.
“The work continues,” Vance wrote, echoing his short statement after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last month that he could have Trump's tax records.
Vance recently hired former mafia prosecutor Mark Pomerantz — who, as a federal prosecutor, oversaw the prosecution of Gambino crime boss John Gotti — as a special assistant district attorney to assist in the wide-ranging probe of Trump's finances.
The inquiry, according to court filings, includes an examination of whether Trump or his businesses lied about the value of assets to gain favorable loan terms and tax benefits. The district attorney also is scrutinizing hush-money payments paid to women on Trump’s behalf.
After a lengthy legal battle, his office is now in possession of eight years of Trump’s tax records, including final and draft versions of tax returns, source documents containing raw financial data and other financial records held by his accounting firm.
Vance’s focus on Seven Springs involves an environmental conservation arrangement Trump made in return for a tax deduction at the end of 2015, following failed attempts to turn the property into a golf course and luxury homes.
Trump granted an easement to a conservation land trust to preserve 158 acres (60 hectares) and received a $21 million income tax deduction, equal to the value of the conserved land, according to records. The amount was based on a professional appraisal that valued the full Seven Springs property at $56.5 million as of Dec. 1, 2015.
That was a much higher amount than the evaluation by local government assessors, who said the entire estate was worth $20 million. Trump bought the property, including a palatial Georgian-style mansion that once belonged to the family of newspaper publisher Katharine Graham, for $7.5 million in 1995.
In a sign of prosecutors' deepening interest in Seven Springs, Vance's office has sent new subpoenas in recent weeks to local governments in the towns the property spans — Bedford, North Castle and New Castle — following up on an initial round of subpoenas issued in mid-December.
Vance's office has also subpoenaed material from people who worked on projects to develop the property for Trump, including an engineer who said his duties involved presenting plans to the local planning board.
The engineer, Ralph Mastromonaco, said Wednesday that he received Vance's subpoena in mid-February and promptly handed over the requested documents, including records of his work on the property and correspondence with the Trump Organization.
Mastromonaco was subpoenaed for similar material in December 2019 by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who also is investigating whether Trump and his company improperly inflated the value of his assets on annual financial statements in order to secure loans and obtain tax benefits.
“I really know absolutely nothing about this whole mess,” Mastromonaco said Wednesday.
Vance's investigators have also peppered Cohen with questions about the role that Allen Weisselberg played as chief financial officer of Trump Organization.
Weisselberg's attorney, Mary Mulligan, declined to comment Wednesday.
But it emerged in recent days that his former daughter-in-law, Jen Weisselberg, is cooperating with both Vance's and James' inquiries, according to her attorney.
“She will continue to cooperate fully with the various law enforcement agencies that are investigating her ex-husband’s family and the very powerful interests they represent,” her lawyer, Duncan Levin, said in a statement to AP. “Jennifer refuses to be silenced any longer by those who are conspiring to prevent her from sharing what she has learned over the past 25 years."
