Hey look, more evidence indicating Trump isn't worth a fraction of the $10 BN perpetuated lie around here.
After one Cohn coup, Mr. Trump rewarded him with a pair of diamond-encrusted cuff links and buttons in a Bulgari box.
And if Mr. Cohn did not always feel comfortable charging a friend for his services, Mr. Trump was hardly one to put up a fight.
"Roy said, 'I'll leave it to Donald to give me what he thinks is fair,'" Mr. Fraser recalled of one lengthy Trump tax case in particular. "But, of course, Donald didn't give him anything." [...]
Mr. Fraser inherited all of Mr. Cohn's possessions: the townhouse, his weekend place in Greenwich, Conn., his Rolls-Royce, his private plane and much more. But the Internal Revenue Service, collecting on Mr. Cohn's tax debts, confiscated nearly everything.
He did get to keep the cuff links Mr. Trump had given Mr. Cohn. Years later, Mr. Fraser had them appraised; they were knockoffs, he said.http://www.weeklystandard.com/trump-...rticle/2002943"I want to give you an early wedding gift," Trump told Sheen at a dinner party, according to Sheen. "He says, 'These are platinum, diamond, Harry Winston,' and he pulls off his cufflinks, and he gives them to me."
Sheen said an appraiser later told him that "in their finest moment, this is cheap pewter and bad zirconia. And they're stamped Trump."
"What does this really say about the man, you know, that he said here's this great wedding gift, and it's just a bag of dog s---?" Sheen asked.
That's a good question—one that a lot of Republicans are probably asking after waking up Tuesday morning to find out that the man who promised to spend $1 billion of his own money to beat Hillary Clinton only raised $3 million in May while spending $1 million reimbursing Trump properties with campaign cash (including $423,000 on renting out Trump's private club Mar-a-Lago).
"If @realDonaldTrump were fractionally as rich as he says he is, he would write a $200mm check to propel his campaign. He doesn't have the cash," billionaire Mark Cuban wrote on Twitter.
