On 3 October, The Canary reported on a New York Times article that exposed some embarrassing secrets about President Trump’s financial history. The investigation revealed that Trump’s claim of being a ‘self-made man’ is very questionable, given that he allegedly received hundreds of millions of dollars from his family.
It also provided evidence that a huge inheritance was made possible through shady tax-dodging manoeuvres, some of which may have been illegal. And it discussed how the Trump family fortune was made possible in large part through federal government spending.
