Trump, built a real-estate empire after World War II and in 1999 left an estimated $250 million estate,” writes Andy Kessler. “One of his success secrets was taking advantage of Federal Housing Administration financing to build cheap houses in Brooklyn and Queens.” Mr. Kessler then explains how the Donald has avoided paying taxes on some of his signature properties…Columnist Kim Strassel contrasts Mr. Trump’s promise to do “whatever is good” to reform proposals from other candidates.
