Quid Pro Quo?

The company has direct ownership of THC China Development, but is also involved in management of other Trump-branded properties around the world, and it is not possible to discern from its tax records how much of its financial activity is China-related. It normally reports a few million dollars in annual income and deductible expenses.

In 2017, the company 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. - NYT

Up to $419 million of federal PPP money was given to Chinese-owned companies - Washington Policy

He's also evil, but smarter than mf45. What drives someone to be so evil at the expense of so much? Help for the suffering would be a great start, but it's not happening because of him.

Mitch has been involved with China for a long time so I was wondering how he may have facilitated this banking operation.

After seeing his black and blue hands there is cause for concern. 🙏🏻 He is not well.
