Before we delve into Trump's criminal history let's take a short look back at his prior history...then we will get there. Beginning with his 2023 'MUG SHOT' [slightly enhanced] followed with our trip down memory lane. Whenever they look at a criminal they usally look at their prior history, background and upbringing. They figure it all as factors in what makes a criminal tick. We can do that.
The Man from Queens
This is not meant to be a biography so we're going to pick up from his real estate career where it's more germaine to the topic.All of the stories that follow are archived articles. They are not easy to find.
After attending the New York Military Academy in 1959, Trump moved to attend the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania to study business in 1966. By 1968, at just 22 years old, he joined the family business and began his journey into property development. Since then, Trump has developed real estate, hotels and even golf courses, amassing a business empire thought to be worth $3 billion (£2.4bn).
After setting his sights on Manhattan, Trump began the construction of Trump Tower in 1979. The 58-storey skyscraper, which was previously a department store, houses luxury residential complexes as well as retail spaces, including Donald Trump's personal residence in the penthouse triplex.
Inside Donald Trump's homes: from Trump Tower to his family Westchester estate
Where did Donald Trump grow up? Born on 14 June 1946, for the first four years of his life, Donald Trump lived in a modest but quaint mock Tudor mansion located in the leafy and upscale Jamaica Estates section of the borough of Queens. After attending the Kew-Forest School, the young teenager was enrolled at the New York Military Academy aged 13.
Donald Trump's childhood home Andrew Lichtenstein / Corbis via Getty Trump's childhood home was built in 1940 by the future president's real estate developer father, Fred, who founded The Trump Organization in 1923. Notably normal and unpretentious, this perfect family home has five bathrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, a roomy living room, a dining room and a library. It was last sold in 2017 for $2.1 million (£1.7m).

The creation of Trump Tower After setting his sights on Manhattan, Trump began the construction of Trump Tower in 1979. The 58-storey skyscraper, which was previously a department store, houses luxury residential complexes as well as retail spaces, including Donald Trump's personal residence in the penthouse triplex.
In 1985, after many years of trying to purchase it, Trump bought Mar-a-Lago for $8 million (£6.5m) including the estate and all its contents. A bargain price, it was much less than what Mar-a-Lago cost to build, with the estate said to be worth $160 million (£129m) in 2018 according to Forbes.
I cherry picked which real estate to mention just to give a general idea rather than the whole deal.Pictures included.
Needless to say he did well in the real estate business. If you want to read the rest of the article and actually see all of his real estate here's the link:
This is not to say he didn't have some failures. It can go with the territory.
Love of New York
FOLLOWING the grand opening of the Wollman Rink this week, New Yorkers can now set their sights on the gala grand opening of the Wollman Rink next week. Donald J. Trump refurbished the Central Park -skating rink two and a half months ahead of his own speedy six-month schedule and $750,000 below his own projected $3 million budget, having taken over the project after the city spent six years and $12 million unsuccessfully trying to get the job done. ''He built the most fabulous rink I have ever seen,'' said Vera Banchet, watching her daughter skate. ''I saw Trump on TV again last night. If I may say so, he is not one to hide his light under a bushel.''
She may. There were the early news conferences, when Mr. Trump announced he was taking over the renovation of the rink, set among trees and rock overlooked by skyscrapers, several of which belong to Mr. Trump himself.

The Maury Povich Connection yr 2000
The Jennifer Hudson Tragedy and Trump yr 2008
In the wake of her family tragedy, Jennifer Hudson has received a helping hand from a very unlikely source — Donald Trump.
Hudson and some of her family members have been staying at the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago, and Trump has been picking up the tab.
“They are safe,” Trump told People on Monday night. “She’s a great girl and we’re protecting them well.”
According to E! Online, Hudson has been staying at the hotel since arriving in Chicago on Oct. 24, the day her mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson, were found murdered, and her nephew, Julian King, was found missing.
Since checking into the hotel, the Oscar winner and former “American Idol” star has rarely left the hotel.
A Special Flight Aboard Trump's Boeing 727
The private Boeing 727 of real estate tycoon Donald Trump arrived from Los Angeles at LaGuardia Airport Tuesday morning, carrying aboard an Orthodox Jewish child with a rare and still undiagnosed breathing illness.
The child, Andrew Ten, age 3, arrived with his parents — accompanied by three nurses who attend to him around the clock — to try to seek medical help in the New York area.
Trump made his plane available for the special trip to New York after the boy’s parents, Judy and Harold Ten, called Trump and told him of their plight.
Commercial airlines refused to fly the child because he could not travel without an elaborate life-support system, which includes a portable oxygen tank, a suction machine, a breathing bag and an adrenaline syringe.
“Mr. Trump did not hesitate when we called him up. He said ‘yes, I’ll send my plane out,'” 29-year-old Harold Ten recalled shortly after he landed here Tuesday morning.

My question is this; given that the IRS audited the President's tax returns for years if they had found anything wouldn't they have gone after him long before 2023? He wasn't President. We're talking about the IRS.
Don't you find it odd that Trump had no criminal history for years but he suddenly became the most notorious criminal you could imagine in 2023 and just happened to be running for President?
He could have been indicted anytime,right? They waited until 2023 and you don't think that's a little suspicious like it might be politically motivated?
You're free to go to the comment section and list his crimes. PLEASE, do not just list 'stuff'. Read the actual indictments before you comment. i can't stop you;it's your comment afterall but it's not going to be very relevant if it's not something he's been indicted for. Accusations only go so far.
