Huckabee Sanders: "The president's father gave him an initial $1 million loan, which he paid back.

In a statement to The Times, the president’s spokeswoman, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, reiterated what Mr. Trump has always claimed about the evolution of his fortune: “The president’s father gave him an initial $1 million loan, which he paid back. President Trump used this money to build an incredibly successful company as well as net worth of over $10 billion, including owning some of the world’s greatest real estate.”

Dad gave him a million. Don paid it pack. Dad then gave him another 450 million he never paid back.

I’d like to hear “dad gave him a total of one million...”.

It’s all in the logic bullchit twists.

It’s one thing if the NYT did a one page op-ed alleging these things but they devoted a lot of ink to this story and these records were poured over for weeks by tax lawyers and forensic accountants. It has also been reviewed by outside sources since it was published. It’s not an opinion that stupid story is a lie, it is factually bullshit.

As Mark Twain said

Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel.

Should have documented in civil courts or documented and notarized.

I'll bet nothing of the kind ever happened.

Talk is cheap.

No wonder they talk a lot...they don't have anything else.
