New York Times: Tax records show Trump maintains Chinese bank account

I'm sure that Trump has a lot of shady stuff in his finances, but this article isn't exactly a smoking gun.

I see it as a smoking gun.

Trump has set the stage that merely having business dealings in China is something that portends law breaking and a need for charges and arrest.

The idea that 'Biden cannot be trusted as he has interests in China and needs to protect China' is shown to be just another sham projection by Trump.

‘Trump pays more taxes to China than America’ a pretty easy line to resonate

Not this moves the needle one bit

Trump is a hypocrite, and he may have done something completely lawless related to China, but evidence of hypocrisy, standing alone, isn't a smoking gun.

Having a bank account in China by itself means practically nothing. People who do significantly less business in China than Trump own Chinese bank accounts for convenience of travel and business transactions.

What I want to know is how many CCP officials have deposited money in that account. I am sure there are many but I don’t think that’s needs to be reported to the IRS.

Deposits like this? Nothing to see here...

In 2017, the company (Trump International Hotels Management) reported an unusually large spike in revenue — some $17.5 million, more than the previous five years’ combined. It was accompanied by a $15.1 million withdrawal by Mr. Trump from the company’s capital account.

I guess that depends on what you see as a smoking gun.

If Trump is accusing anyone of X and saying X is bad and then he is caught doing it, that is hypocrisy but I also would say it is a smoking gun. It is the exact type of smoking gun he would love to nail Biden with.

See the post above this one. If that was a Biden account, Fox news and Trump would call that case over.

Need more. Sorry to say but it’s not unusual to use relatively dormant entities to shift money around even for perfectly legitimate transactions.

It’s part of Trump MO. He makes everything, even legit transactions, so shady it’s impossible to tell what is illegal.

$310 million in contributions disappeared into a web of shady LLC's. But I'm sure there were no bribes in there with it.

It’s pretty enjoyable to know that the over 1 billion raised for trump from his supporters that like 80% of it was stolen by a bunch of other grifters.

Fox News in the US didn’t really go hardcore right wing until the early 2000s, really planting their flag post Iraq War. They actually covered more news and their commentators were slightly more balanced.

Following an obsequious interview for a fake conservative news programme, the pair retreat at her suggestion for a drink to the bedroom of a hotel suite, which is rigged with concealed cameras.

After she removes his microphone, Giuliani, 76, can be seen lying back on the bed, fiddling with his untucked shirt and reaching into his trousers. They are then interrupted by Borat who runs in and says: “She’s 15. She’s too old for you.”

Everyday a new low.

Meanwhile Trump is as batshit crazy as a human can be and it wasn't brought up once.

One example sure, but there are many instances of that on his show, especially when it comes to the discussions. I can clearly remember another time when they had a 'panel' with their usual people, then someone who was a 100% Trumper and may even have come from the campaign, and for the so-called 'other side' they had someone who was supposedly libertarian.

Fox is crap and always has been.

Playing devil's advocate absent any pictures of the moving variety, that's exactly the sort of position one would be in and expect to need an adjustment.

If you go from a standing position, sit on the bed, and then lay down, you're going to get it wedged uncomfortably in a downward position. He's clearly going for the classic "lift and lay it down on the left leg" move.
