“$800 million worth”?
“Nobody wants”?

That’s what Trump’s big legal battle with New York was about - lying about the value of a penthouse or something.

Yup. Their boss controls the IRS. They'll write them off, get a bailout check, and sale the remaining trucks to the US military. Triple dip the American tax payer.
