Hah! When did a celebrity do anything without being flamboyant about it?

Generally secret real estate deals are done by drug dealers and despots laundering the money they stole from the people using dozens of lawyers and shell companies to hide the transaction.

Where you been?

No, you did not almost get Clinton. You didn't even come close to getting her. Even Republicans admitted the Benghazi hearings turned into little more than partisan theater and that was as close as you ever came.

Republicans did manage to smear her good name enough to raise suspicions. But I suspect that was the whole point, eh?

So if using shell companies to purchase real estate is such a common thing, why were only 4% of Trump buyers doing this two years ago?

Purchasing real estate with LLC's is very common. But those aren't anonymous. 70% of transactions to anonymous shells isn't typical or normal.

70% seems high to me, but the jump is what's puzzling.

Do people just not want their name to be associated with Trump? If so, then why buy property from him?

Is there some change in the high end real estate market? Are other developers finding 70% of their buyers wish to remain anonymous behind shell companies?

This.

Plus, the fact that he was elected twice proves that most Americans either don't believe the claims that he was born in Kenya OR don't care.
