Maybe John Barron

No one has been able to confirm he ever had an assistant/secretary/employee/intern named Carolin Gallego. Michael Cohen said he did not recognize the name.

It looks like the protege (Cohen) learned from the master himself (Trump).

The Carolin Gallego letter is laughable to the extreme. Is there definitive proof that Carolin is the Buffoon-in-Chief? What would Trump supporters say about this kind of stuff?

He never had a secretary named "Carolin Gallego" and in fact, they could never find a "Carolin Gallego" who lived in NY or NJ. Note the unusual spelling of the first name "Carolin", not "Carolyn" or "Caroline".

This letter was from 1992, when Trump and Ivana had divorced and he was going through bankruptcies of THREE of his businesses. His 1995 tax return showed he was carrying $915 MILLION in losses. The 90s were not a good time for Trump.

He didn't really "lose" anything but 915 million in debt. The banks that loaned him the money lost.
Bankruptcies in business, under the law, get to walk away from debt. Wilbur Ross stepped in to "manage" Trump's bankruptcy with the courts, Trump ended up having to live on "only" 450,000 a month.

Prior to bankruptcy, those casinos were flooded with money to launder, huge profits for Trump and the mob.

4 of the books I have read about him reported the above on his bankruptcies.

He got to take the losses on his books, which meant he didn't have to pay income taxes on corresponding income FOR YEARS. In fact, for all we know, he may still be avoiding income taxes over 20 years later. I'm a bookkeeper. I know there's a big difference between profitability and cash flow. You can have great cash flow and still, on the books, be in the red.

I had to skim through it because he's such a shameless attention whore, but it contained a fair amount of matter-of-fact references to his personal and economic failures, lack of morals, shameless self-promotion and weird family dynamics.
