Разные эволюции

[yakov_a_jerkov]

В комментариях к моей записи, "Александр Евгеньевич Мишкин"... Кстати, почему-то в эту запись не набежали ватники комментировать -- может быть, им, действительно, поступила команда молчать на эту тему?

Это я отвлекся. Так вот там svensk_vanja хорошо написал об эволюции российской реакции на все новую информацию о покушении на Скрипалей:

Эволюция

- скрипаля не травили
- травили но не новичком
- новичком но не российские спецслужбы
......
- проехали, это дело уже никому не интересно

Тут интересно отметить, что Трамп и трамписты действуют совершенно аналогичным образом. Многие, и я в том числе, практически с самого начала отмечали, насколько явно трамписты следуют российской тактике.

Вот возьмем историю с источниками трамповских денег. Это же не второстепенная история какая-то-- это фундамент трамповской мифологии, small loan в миллион долларов, не могу опубликовать налоговую декларацию, потому что audit, это все.

Во время предвыборной кампании мне множество трампистов доказывали, что Трамп -- это голова, поскольку вон он сколько денег заработал.

Ну, и оказывается, что все это вранье, начиная со small loan. И что?

Да ничего. Реакция трампистов полностью аналогична реакции ватников, о которой написал svensk_vanja -- "проехали, это дело уже никому не интересно".

Более того, эта тактика работает и с прессой. Сам NYT, опубликовавший эпохальное расследование трамповских финансов, публикует анализ последней недели -- "After Lots of Bluster, Trump Has a Week to Brag About" -- в котором вообще не упоминает собственное расследование! Итоговые воскресные политические программы на NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox News -- то же самое, вообще ни слова об этом.

Проехали уже.

Впрочем, может и не уже, а только еще.

Про 1975 год Трамп присочинил. К этому времени отец плотно ввел его в свой бизнес, поставив стричь купоны.

Fred Trump began taking steps that enriched Donald alone, introducing him to the charms of building with cheap government loans. In 1972, father and son formed a partnership to build a high-rise for the elderly in East Orange, N.J. Thanks to government subsidies, the partnership got a nearly interest-free $7.8 million loan that covered 90 percent of construction costs. Fred Trump paid the rest.
But his son received most of the financial benefits, records show. On top of profit distributions and consulting fees, Donald Trump was paid to manage the building, though Fred Trump’s employees handled day-to-day management. He also pocketed what tenants paid to rent air-conditioners. By 1975, Donald Trump’s take from the building was today’s equivalent of nearly $305,000 a year.
Fred Trump also gave his son an extra boost through his investment, in the early 1970s, in the sprawling Starrett City development in Brooklyn, the largest federally subsidized housing project in the nation. The investment, which promised to generate huge tax write-offs, was tailor-made for Fred Trump; he would use Starrett City’s losses to avoid taxes on profits from his empire.
Fred Trump invested $5 million. A separate partnership established for his children invested $1 million more, showering tax breaks on the Trump children for decades to come. They helped Donald Trump avoid paying any federal income taxes at all in 1978 and 1979. But Fred Trump also deputized him to sell a sliver of his Starrett City shares, a sweetheart deal that generated today’s equivalent of more than $1 million in “consulting fees.”
The money from consulting and management fees, ground leases, the mini-empire and his salary all combined to make Donald Trump indisputably wealthy years before he sold his first Manhattan apartment. By 1975, when he was 29, he had collected nearly $9 million in today’s dollars from his father, The Times found.

сотни миллионов внезапно превратились в девять, да ещё по сегодняшнему курсу, да ещё полученные в результате работы в партнерстве, а не кешем.

В 1975 было $9 миллионов в сегодняшних деньгах. Дальше поток денег от папеньки усилился и со временем дошёл до сотен миллионов.

Meanwhile, Fred Trump and his companies also began extending large loans and lines of credit to Donald Trump. Those loans dwarfed what the other Trumps got, the flow so constant at times that it was as if Donald Trump had his own Money Store. Consider 1979, when he borrowed $1.5 million in January, $65,000 in February, $122,000 in March, $150,000 in April, $192,000 in May, $226,000 in June, $2.4 million in July and $40,000 in August, according to records filed with New Jersey casino regulators.
In theory, the money had to be repaid. In practice, records show, many of the loans were more like gifts. Some were interest-free and had no repayment schedule. Even when loans charged interest, Donald Trump frequently skipped payments.
This previously unreported flood of loans highlights a clear pattern to Fred Trump’s largess. When Donald Trump began expensive new projects, his father increased his help. In the late 1970s, when Donald Trump was converting the old Commodore Hotel into a Grand Hyatt, his father stepped up with a spigot of loans. Fred Trump did the same with Trump Tower in the early 1980s.
In the mid-1980s, as Donald Trump made his first forays into Atlantic City, Fred Trump devised a plan that sharply increased the flow of money to his son.
The plan involved the mini-empire — the eight buildings Fred Trump had transferred to his children. He converted seven of them into cooperatives, and helped his children convert the eighth. That meant inviting tenants to buy their apartments, generating a three-way windfall for Donald Trump and his siblings: from selling units, from renting unsold units and from collecting mortgage payments.
In 1982, Donald Trump made today’s equivalent of about $380,000 from the eight buildings. As the conversions continued and Fred Trump’s employees sold off more units, his son’s share of profits jumped, records show. By 1987, with the conversions completed, his son was making today’s equivalent of $4.5 million a year off the eight buildings.

Бизнесмен Трамп не знал, что такое риск. Папенька неизменно подпитывал его деньгами и выручал из трудных ситуаций.

зачем же Фред спускал всё свое богатство в черную дыру?

В могилу с собой не возьмёшь. А обмануть правительство, утаив деньги от налогов - это святое.

With other family members, Fred Trump could be cantankerous and cruel, according to sworn testimony by his relatives. “This is the stupidest thing I ever heard of,” he’d snap when someone disappointed him. He was different with his son Donald. He might chide him — “Finish this job before you start that job,” he’d counsel — but more often, he looked for ways to forgive and accommodate.
By 1987, for example, Donald Trump’s loan debt to his father had grown to at least $11 million. Yet canceling the debt would have required Donald Trump to pay millions in taxes on the amount forgiven. Father and son found another solution, one never before disclosed, that appears to constitute both an unreported multimillion-dollar gift and a potentially illegal tax write-off.
In December 1987, records show, Fred Trump bought a 7.5 percent stake in Trump Palace, a 55-story condominium building his son was erecting on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Most, if not all, of his investment, which totaled $15.5 million, was made by exchanging his son’s unpaid debts for Trump Palace shares, records show.
Four years later, in December 1991, Fred Trump sold his entire stake in Trump Palace for just $10,000, his tax returns and financial statements reveal. Those documents do not identify who bought his stake. But other records indicate that he sold it back to his son.

Фред Трамп не знал, однако, что все построенные им дома его дети в итоге распродадут, чтобы разжиться наличными.

Three potential bidders were given access to the finances of Fred Trump’s empire — 37 apartment complexes and several shopping centers. Ruby Schron, a major New York City landlord, quickly emerged as the favorite. In December 2003, Mr. Schron called Donald Trump and they came to an agreement; Mr. Schron paid $705.6 million for most of the empire, which included paying off the Trumps’ mortgages. A few remaining properties were sold to other buyers, bringing the total sales price to $737.9 million.
On May 4, 2004, the Trump children spent most of the day signing away ownership of what their father had doggedly built over 70 years. The sale received little news coverage, and an article in The Staten Island Advance included the rarest of phrases: “Trump did not return a phone call seeking comment.”
Even more extraordinary was this unreported fact: The banks financing Mr. Schron’s purchase valued Fred Trump’s empire at nearly $1 billion. In other words, Donald Trump, master dealmaker, sold his father’s empire for hundreds of millions less than it was worth.
