Money, money, money......................Money
The NYT published a very detailed investigatory report on Trump's finances and wealth last night; the story was in development for years and includes financial and tax documents never publicly available in the past.
Donald Trump's oft-repeated story about getting only a "small one million dollar loan from his father and turning it into a multi-billionaire enterprise" is false.
That's not surprising to people who've discounted the rhetoric and followed the facts for years. And, I don't think his loyalists will care that he branded / misrepresented his business success and mis-characterized himself. But, verification of those facts are now in the public domain.

It's a long piece and may only be available to NYT subscription holders, so I'm posting some of my main takeaways below and you can find summaries on various internet media sites.
