    #Trump has largely done the same, claiming his father only gave him a “very small loan” that he turned “into a company that’s worth many, many billions of dollars.” However, as #KamalaHarris noted during Tuesday’s #debate, Trump’s companies have filed for #Chapter11 #bankruptcy protection SEVEN TIMES.

    In 2021, Trump fell off the #Forbes400 list for the first time in 25 years. He returned to the list in 2022, but fell off again in 2023.

    After reviewing financial documents, the NYT reporters determined #Trump received >$413M — in 2018 dollars — from his NYC developer father, Fred, for years.

    According to the Washington Post, Trump benefited from trusts set up for family members as well as loans from his father & his father’s estate. The NYT said it found Trump & his father avoided gift & inheritance #taxes by using a #sham corporation & undervaluing assets.

    Among the various topics touched on during Tues’ #debate was #Trump’s #inheritance, brought up by VP #KamalaHarris as she addressed the #MiddleClass.

    How much Trump received has seemingly been a sensitive point for Trump. He has often claimed it was a “very small loan,” but a 2018 David Barstow, [the brilliant] Susanne Craig & Russ Buettner NYT’s report refuted that.
