He's hiding his assets, and this is a scheme to protect what he does have.

He's a disloyal,indiscreet, back-stabbing lout. They should come after him like a steamroller.

Most of us around the country pay $10 - $20 per square foot these days to rent office space.

I pay $8 in Michigan. We are poor people in Michigan.

In Beverly Hills - a doctor with a high profile business may pay $1,000 - $1,500 per square foot.

And guess what???


Those high profile clients in Beverly Hills are now all paying the mortgages and private school tuition for their grown kids and grandkids because their kids have all lost their jobs.

Translation???

Botox treatments have taken a big hit - I assure you.
