Trump condos worth $250 million pose potential conflict
USA TODAY spent four months cataloging every property Trump's companies own across the country. Reporters found that Trump’s companies are sitting on at least $250 million of individual properties in the USA alone. Property records show Trump’s trust and his companies own at least 422 luxury condos and penthouses from New York City to Las Vegas, 12 mansion lots on bluffs overlooking his golf course on the Pacific Ocean and dozens more smaller pieces of real estate. The properties range in value from about $200,000 to $35 million each.

“Anyone seeking to influence the president could set up an anonymous company and purchase his property,” said Heather Lowe, director of government affairs at Global Financial Integrity, a D.C.-based group aimed at curbing illicit financial transactions. “It’s a big black box, and the system is failing as a check for conflicts of interest.Since Election Day, records show Trump companies have sold at least 14 luxury condos and home-building lots for about $23 million. Half were sold to limited liability companies. No names were listed in deeds, obscuring buyers’ identities.
Since launching his White House bid, Trump’s companies have sold at least 58 units nationwide for about $90 million. Almost half of those sold to LLCs.
That doesn’t count Trump's ownership of millions of square feet of some of America’s priciest office and retail rental space in Manhattan, Chicago and San Francisco.
Buyers and renters of Trump properties include companies or individuals tracing to addresses in at least a dozen countries.

The only one getting wealthy here is Trump and his buddies. I don't suppose none of you who voted for him ever foresaw what he would do, America is never going to be the same.
If any of you Trumpeters would of read his history your would of know you were hiring a crook, and his Admin is full of them. His buddies are crooked as well. All he has done is hung out with crooked people.
And if HIllary had won, they would have devoted similar resources to uncovering potential conflicts of interests?
FUCK THE MEDIA.
She was going to close the Foundation. She doesn't own property all over the globe or have her names on lots of foreign buildings. Only an idiot would even compare the 2. I guess that makes you a ________. Fill in the blank if you can.
That wasn't the question.
THe question was would USA TODAY have spent similar resources tracking down potential conflicts of interest if Hillary had won.
It is so obvious that they would NOT, that you didn't even try to address that point.
FUCK THE MEDIA.
Maybe not, but Fox, Clinton Cash author and all the other outlets slamming the Clintons since Bill took office would of.
If you think of Clinton as evil , then you have chosen the greatest of two evils. Congratulations. Usually people chose the lesser of two evils.
PS: also it would not of taken 4 months to do it on Clinton as she has always released her tax returns.
Can you give me a past example of Fox news devoting similar resources to a similarly vague fishing expedition on, say Obama?
