Trump claims he has no idea of his worth. Why the double standard?One would think the couple would have at least a rough idea of what they were worth.Ilhan Omar-linked winery dissolves days after she “amended” her financial disclosure
eStCru, the winery co-owned by Ilhan Omar’s husband, dissolved nine days after an amended financial disclosure reduced its reported value to zero.
No double standard, Trump has vast holdings with estimates by various financial analysis varying widely and his name itself as a brand is difficult to value. Omar now lists total household assets, including her husband's assets, as being from $18,004 to $95,000 while before her assets were reported as high as 30 million dollars!!! That a HUGE percentage difference. Trump has consistently said he is worth billions.
It's not a huge difference if you look at how wide the reporting brackets are.
She has now switched back to her original worth and blamed accountants. We need to find out who these accountants are and see if Omar has filed a complaint against them.
There must be some kind of standard for accountants.Ilhan Omar cites accounting error for multimillion-dollar disclosure revision
Rep. Ilhan Omar’s finances and multimillion-dollar jump in wealth, based on previous financial disclosures, have come under scrutiny by the Trump administration and GOP.www.fox9.com
I dug into this a bit last time the usual suspects tossed these charges around and this business was only barely a "winery." IIRC, the claim was that the owners somehow came into possession of a bunch of wine and then created a brand for it. The photos on their website and social media pages were all staged and/or stock photos; there was nothing showing what you and I would think of as a winery business, be it an actual vineyard or fermentation room or bottling facility or whatever. Assuming they ever intended to keep this business going after selling off the initial stock of inventory, it didn't seem like anything more than a rebranding of OEM wines.
It seems to me to very well fit the definition of blame. And to others also:
Okay, someone is going to have to explain this to me. Other than a friend who legally got into wine making for a while, the only potent potable locally produced was moonshine. I assume that business model was based on cheap stuff that gets you drunk. That suggests a $10 bottle of the cheap stuff constitutes the “floor” of returns. If that’s the case, set up things so that it will turn a profit if it’s all cheap stuff, with anything better constituting a bonus. Better yet, knock off your own brand with the cheap stuff and get a premium off the good stuff.
Donald Trump has inflated and deated his assets so much and so often he got taken to court and lost over it. He also habitually blames everyone but himself for everything. Ilan Omar, unlike Trump, does not have any history of this fraudulent behavior so she still warrants the benefit of the doubt. Try to be less of a hypocrite.
Oh, please: Inflated worth has become so much an “accepted” business practice that finding it is like Captain Renault finding gambling at Rick’s. Condemning one and not the other is hypocrisy, and I don’t care which one is given the pass.
