  Donald Trump paying $750 in income tax shows why he is a billionaire 5 min read   .   Updated: 29 Sep 2020, 08:30 AM IST Bloomberg Trump has long been required to disclose a road map to his assets and liabilities His biggest financial vulnerabilities remain his hotel in Washington, where the pandemic has slowed business, and Doral, a sprawling golf resort in Florida Topics Donald Trump A New York Times story based on  Donald Trump ’s long-sought-after tax data shows he avoided paying income taxes for most of the past two decades and paid only $750 the year he was elected president. That doesn’t mean he isn’t a billionaire. By pairing moneymaking businesses with spectacular money-losers, the Trump Organization has been able to shield profits generated by office properties and “The Apprentice" from tax collectors. It’s a souped-up version of the formula deployed by America’s landlord class for decades. But tax losses are different from operating...

Donald Trump: President denies new assault allegation

  US President Donald Trump has denied allegations that he sexually assaulted a former model in New York in 1997. Amy Dorris told the UK's Guardian newspaper that Mr Trump groped various parts of her body and forcibly kissed her as she came out of a bathroom at the US Open tennis tournament. Mr Trump's lawyers have denied the claims, branding it an "attempt to attack" him before the election. Multiple women have accused Mr Trump of inappropriate sexual misconduct. The president has denied all of the allegations against him. Ms Dorris, who was 24 years old at the time, said she watched matches with her then-boyfriend Jason Binn in Mr Trump's VIP box. She said she used the bathroom and alleged Mr Trump was waiting for her outside. "He just shoved his tongue down my throat and I was pushing him off. And that's when the grip became tighter and his hands were very gropey and all over my butt, my breasts, my back, every...

Bill Gates slams ‘shocking’ U.S. response to Covid-19 pandemic

P hilanthropist Bill Gates, who has   long warned   of the need to prepare for pandemics, is dumbfounded by how poorly the United States has responded to Covid-19. In an interview with STAT, Gates sounded exasperated at times as he described the badly bungled launch of Covid-19 testing, the enlisting of a neuroradiologist — rather than an epidemiologist or infectious diseases specialist — to help guide the White House’s response decisions, and the recent move to discourage testing of people who have been in contact with a known case but who aren’t yet showing symptoms. “You know, this has been a mismanaged situation every step of the way,” Gates said in the wide-ranging interview. “It’s shocking. It’s unbelievable — the fact that we would be among the worst in the world.” He leveled his harshest criticism at Food and Drug Administration Commissioner  Stephen Hahn , who mischaracterized findings from a Mayo Clinic study on Covid-19 and said researchers had...

  Malek plays the villain opposite Daniel Craig's suave British spy in the much-anticipated film directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga. Oscar winner Rami Malek says as the antagonist of the upcoming James Bond movie "No Time to Die", he wanted his character of Safin to be "unsettling". Malek plays the villain opposite Daniel Craig's suave British spy in the much-anticipated film directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga. A video teasing the mysterious villain was released by the makers on Monday. "What I really wanted from Safin was to make him unsettling. Thinking of himself as being heroic... Safin is a formidable adversary. James Bond has to adapt to him," Malek told Entertainment Weekly. Talking about the character Fukunaga said, "What he wants and what he's willing to do makes him a very frightening character, both personally to Bond, but also on a global level." "Fleabag" creator-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge is on board as a co-writer on t...

  After making us wait for a long time, five years to be exact, Daniel Craig is coming back one last time as James Bond in No Time To Die and we can’t be excited enough. Leaving us awestruck in four previous Bond films, Daniel Craig as 007, deemed no less than a superhero, has charmed us with his impeccable fashion and swagger.

A Look at 12 of the Worlds Most Expensive Colleges

  “College is the best time of your life. When else are your parents going to spend several thousand dollars a year just for you to go to a strange town and get drunk every night?” —  David Wood Engineering remains the in demand degree across the employment spectrum and students have many colleges and universities from which to choose. How will students choose which to attend? Some will compare the achievements of former graduates. Others will examine course work and curricular pros and cons. Then there are those who compare costs and will only study at the best, meaning only the most expensive engineering program will do. “Education is the most powerful weapon which to use to change the world.” –  Nelson Mandela The new generation of college students want to change the world.

Explained: Can US President Donald Trump pardon himself?

  With Donald Trump’s presidency entering its final weeks, the former businessman and television personality is expected to make full use of the outgoing presidential tradition of granting pardons. Some fear that the US President will wield his expansive power to pardon some of his closest aides, family members and maybe even himself. Trump — who faces a host of legal challenges, including multiple lawsuits and fraud allegations — will no longer have the extensive legal protections of the presidency once he formally exits the White House on January 20. Possibly pre-empting these legal issues, Trump has been asking aides whether he can self-pardon since 2017, according to a CNN report. In fact, an official told the news network that Trump was “obsessed with the power of pardons”. How does the presidential pardon work? All modern presidents of the United States have the constitutional right to pardon or commute the s...
