Trump is broke and has hundreds of millions of dollars in debt coming due. He's a tax cheat who pays way less in taxes than most hard-working Americans.
The only "businesses" that have really been successful for him is licensing the Trump name (which is just businesses paying money to slap "Trump" on their businesses and buildings) and money earned from the Apprentice. Everything else has lost bigly - golf courses, casinos, hotels, and more! And he started with an inheritance of over $400 million from his father.
Paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in consulting fees to Ivanka even though she is an employee of the Trump Organization - employee or consultant - pick a lane Ivanka you can't be both.
He is in deep legal jeopardy.
