Trump Tower Funded by Rich Chinese Who Invest Cash for Visas

"They’ve taken our jobs, they’ve taken our money, they’ve taken everything," he said of China in a speech late last month. He has called for a revamping, even a freezing, of the immigration system, but says he would make an exception for the highly-skilled.

Yet no skills are required of the wealthy Chinese being courted by a Chinese-subtitled video to help finance a huge Trump-branded tower in New Jersey. The video leads viewers behind the wheel of a car into Jersey City with scenes of the tower, all to the tune of the theme song from The Sopranos, "Woke Up This Morning."

touting all the design work daughter Ivanka did (HGTV 10 years ago, it's all dark). I'm sure the Chinese investors, barred from owning property in their own country, will snap up all the units before they're finished, leaving a high rise ghost town soaring above the hotel area.
