They aren't looking for tax fraud specifically. They are looking for foreign investments linked to his long love fest with every known dictator on the planet.

Well what they found is his losses and that is what all the reporting is about

Thing is that that was a period where he actively sought to promote himself (altering his voice pretending to be his own pr person!) as super elite rich. From real estate developments with his name on them (know anyone else who does that?), Disco dancing with the rich at The Ritz, appearing on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, his book, The Art of the Deal, etc.

If you lived around here, he was this persistant buzzing fly dropping fool's gold confetti wherever he went constantly. Why do you think he lost NYC by 89%? Everyone got sick of him way back then.

He lost NYC because everybody there is a Democrat. People who watched his show liked him. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trump-shuts-down-clinton-in-poll-of-apprentice-viewers
Trump has never been very fact based, and a "gotcha you lost a lot of money" isnt the same as a "you illegally avoided taxes" like they were looking for.
Trump still lives the rich lifestyle and he just spins whatever to make him look like a winner.
He got rich. He started off pretty easy but you have to admit that he increased his money. Probably because he became a celebrity.

The NYC that elected Giuliani twice and Bloomberg three times? Let's not forget Pataki too?

Trump is a charlatan, a crook, who LOST more of daddy's money that the $414 million he got from him.

There has been no gotcha - extensive, anyway, since there has been some, as the NYT reported (recently and back in September, was it?) on his taxes because they aren't all known. Yet.

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous was a tv show.

I don't need stats, I live here. And NYC is not "Democrat" whatever that means. People vote for whomever they want, as those 2 recent Republican Mayors of NYCity and NYCity alone shows.

The Red/Blue shism myth is a divide and conquer propaganda tool.
Try not falling for their game.

Curious though, do any of those listed show a Republican losing by a whopping 89%?
Even Ford was only slightly under 50% of Carter's, and he wanted to literally pull the plug on NYC.
