The federal gift limit is $20 at a time, up to $50 per year from any one source.

So technically your postman shouldn't accept a $25 check at the end of the year.

But you could ask him his kid's names and do a $2 billion deal with them, if you wanted to. No problem there. And I'm sure it wouldn't affect your postal delivery in any way at all.

1. That would explain that Trump Jr quote about Trump ties to Russia

The Donald didn't make the deals, one of the sons did.

The quote:

<SNIP>
In a 2008 speech, Trump’s son, Donald Jr., made it clear that the Trumps want to do business in Russia, but were finding it difficult.

“Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,” Trump’s son told a real estate conference in 2008, according to an account posted on the website of eTurboNews, a trade publication. “We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.”

Trump Jr. noted that he traveled to Russia six times in 18 months, and “several buyers have been attracted to our projects there and everything associated therewith.” But he added: “As much as we want to take our business over there, Russia is just a different world…. It is a question of who knows who, whose brother is paying off who…. It really is a scary place.”
