Donald Trump Jr. Meme Mocks Paying Taxes

Donald Trump’s eldest son appeared to mock the idea of paying taxes in a meme on his Instagram page after his father’s eponymous company was fined $1.6 million following a conviction stemming from a years-long tax avoidance scheme.

Two subsidiaries of Donald Trump’s Trump Organization were sentenced on January 13 after a New York City jury delivered a guilty verdict on 17 felony crimes against them last month.

While the fines amount to less than $2 million, criminal convictions against the company could impact its business and lending and be used as leverage for a blockbuster lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who accused the former president of “grossly” inflating the value of his net worth by billions of dollars in an effort to fraudulently gain tax benefits and other benefits from insurers and financial institutions.

Her lawsuit seeks to recover $250 million in lost revenue and penalties, as well as a judge’s order that would permanently bar the Trumps from holding any offices with businesses in the state.

The New York judge overseeing that case has also blocked Trump and his company from transferring assets without first notifying the court and the attorney general’s office. An independent monitor is overseeing compliance with the order.
