It's interesting that despite Trump's draconian plan to crackdown on illegal immigrants, he has used illegal immigrant labor to build his Trump Towers.
"Well, Donald Trump is not at all who people think he is, and I’m very surprised that conservatives are embracing him. For example, Donald’s most famous building, the Trump Tower, instead of building it as a steel girder building, he chose to build it out of concrete, a 58-story—he says 68 stories—a 58-story concrete building built by a company called A&S [S&A Concrete] construction. And who owned [S&A] construction? "Fat Tony" Salerno, the head of the Genovese crime family in New York, and Paul Gambino—I’m sorry, Paul Castellano, the head of the Gambino family. Trump used the same company for other projects that he built, even though they were more costly than using steel girder construction."
"When he tore down the Bonwit Teller building to make way for the Trump Tower, he had about a dozen union house wreckers on the site and about 150 Polish workers, all of them illegally in the country, who he paid $4 to $5 an hour and who did not have hard hats. And Trump claimed in a lawsuit that he had no idea that these workers were there in any way other than an appropriate way. And a federal judge mocked him, pointing out that they were easy to spot because they were the ones who had no hard hats."

The beauty of this is its just one topic. There are so many headings and subheadings of Donald Trump. His hatred of women, his love of dictators, his refusal to release his taxes, his butler.
Donald Trump used tax loopholes so aggressively last year that the IRS Service sent the billionaire a check for a couple grand for the Earned Income Tax Credit, which supports the working poor.
No, he didn’t — or did he? We won’t know, because Trump announced he has no intention after all of making public income tax returns that obviously include information as outrageous as the fantasy above.
One can only assume the worst from a man who lies, fabricates and exaggerates for a very good living in which he measures his self-worth in dollars."

Here is one question for The Donald: How many years have you paid zero taxes? Yes, I'm presuming there have been a number of them, just wondering how many.
"He wasn’t one in 1990. Yeah, in 1990, when I revealed that—he claimed he was worth $3 billion back then, and I got a hold of his banker’s net worth statement that showed he was worth negative-$295 million, and as—I was at _The Philadelphia Inquirer then. We ran across the top of the front page, "You are Probably Worth More Than Donald Trump." I think the record now is pretty clear. He’s probably worth a billion or somewhat more than a billion, but nowhere near $10 billion."
"But important to that is that Donald, in all likelihood, despite claiming a $400 million annual income, probably doesn’t pay any income taxes, because there’s a special provision in federal tax law that if you’re a real estate developer or operator, and your losses, your paper losses for the depreciating value of your buildings, which are really going up in value, exceed your other income, you can live tax-free. And I have three years of Donald’s tax returns from the late ’70s, early ’80s that show large negative income and no federal income tax."

Democratic and Clinton operatives say that 80 percent of the dirt on Trump isn't public yet.We know that 80 percent of the dirt on his taxes aren't public yet-as he won't release them. But I agree with the Daily News: in his case,it is fair to always assume the worst when he is not forthcoming-and when is he forthcoming?
Maureen Dowd is right-she sometimes gets things right when the subject is not Hillary Clinton.

Indeed. I realized this when a Twitter friend told me she was going to watch House of Cards for the escapism.
Which tells you something about me as well. I haven't watched that show since-probably the 2016 campaign started.
I used to watch the show-because it was so much more exciting than our actual politics. Surely, politicians couldn't be that crazy.
But what does Frank Underwood have on Donald Trump?
Underwood would do anything to become President of the United States. Donald Trump will do anything to become Kim Jong-un.
