Then again, those are actual crimes, which bother "the base" not at all.
What would bother them, perhaps, would be that he isn't a billionaire, and isn't very rich at all.
I wonder if anyone has tried to add up how much he must be worth? The only really profitable business event I can think of is when he sold that Florida estate for to more than twice what he bought it for-- to
Dmitry Rybolovlev, the Russian oligarch who has all sorts of suspicions of laundering his rubles (he was the one who bought and sold the supposed "Da Vinci" painting last year).
Trump made $45 million on that sale... and the oligarch razed the house afterwards, having paid then more than $90million for an empty lot (he broke it up and sold it in pieces... a rather good way to launder lots of ill-gotten gains).
What else has made him real money? And could that possibly add up to "billions"?
