President-Elect Trump Is Suing Washington D.C. (Again)

[NCTraveler]

Donald Trump is suing Washington D.C. and you probably won’t be shocked to learn why: to avoid paying taxes.

This is actually the second time that Trump – technically Trump Post Office LLC, an LLC owned by Trump and his children – has sued D.C. over the same incident. It all centers around the Trump International Hotel located in the Old Post Office Building – the hotel Trump mentioned repeatedly on the campaign trail as a sign of his business acumen.

Trump’s lawyers say that the this year’s $1.7 million tax bill was too high because for part of the year the hotel was still under construction. Also, the city claims that the lease for the property – which Trump Post Office LLC rents from the U.S. General Services Administration – is worth $91 million. The Trumps say it is only worth $28 million.

Soon this will be much less of a headache for Trump. As president he will be able to appoint the head of the General Services Administration, and that appointee will be negotiating future leases for the property with the new heads of Trump’s companies: his children.

1. Every day is a new affront to our society. nt

2. Tip of the iceberg.

Meanwhile he's stiffing the GOP for election expenses no doubt as well as his usual ripping off scams.

What will happen re the Trump University trial I wonder?

Fascists will stop at nothing.

3. If he had gotten it done on time

last year, I believe, he wouldn't have this problem now. What excuse is he going to use to get out of taxes next year? Revenue down because people are boycotting his hotels?

BTW, I detect a whiff of conflict-of-interest in the making.
