The president has long sold himself as a self-made billionaire, but a Times investigation found that he received at least $413 million in today’s dollars from his father’s real estate empire, much of it through tax dodges in the 1990s.

Has this been FACT CHECKED?

And by "tax dodge" he means legal tax avoidance.

Do you take any deductions off what you pay in income taxes Gwad?

How dare parents give money to their kids.
How dare kids take it.
How dare kids invest it.
How dare kids enjoy being rich.
How dare kids avoid paying taxes.
How dare kids feel good about themselves.
How dare kids become POTUS.

What emerges from this body of evidence is a financial biography of the 45th president fundamentally at odds with the story Mr. Trump has sold in his books, his TV shows and his political life. In Mr. Trump’s version of how he got rich, he was the master dealmaker who broke free of his father’s “tiny” outer-borough operation and parlayed a single $1 million loan from his father (“I had to pay him back with interest!”) into a $10 billion empire that would slap the Trump name on hotels, high-rises, casinos, airlines and golf courses the world over. In Mr. Trump’s version, it was always his guts and gumption that overcame setbacks. Fred Trump was simply a cheerleader.

Must be a low place to have your self worth tied up in a college football message board moonlighting as political hot talk. Gwad is praying for you.

I got 15,000 from my dad's estate and promptly lost it in a Hawaii land deal

So I'm impressed with what Trump has done

Well, if you start as a millionaire and turn into a billionaire thereafter.....technically, you are a self-made billionaire.

Did I miss something in the sequence? Help me here - or should I just walk the safety up right now?

The IRS should look into it.

Not so much "suspect tax schemes" as they were just good old tax fraud.

I hear Roger Clinton did blow and Obama had a sibling in the country illegally

Hey O’Keefed would you say this Philly shooting is an act of domestic terrorism?

I'd much rather read Hillary's emails than Trumps tax returns.
