"Donald Trump’s net worth is $2.9 billion — far less than the $10 billion the real-estate mogul and GOP hopeful claims he’s worth, according to a new Bloomberg analysis.
Trump, who has made his personal wealth part of his pitch to voters, released a 92-page rundown of his net worth last week. He calculated his fortune at $8.7 billion, including $3.3 billion for the value of his name, in the federal disclosure form."
Anyone surprised he exaggerated? I'm not.

I often wondered whether his name brand would be worth anything if he was a very successful real estate tycoon but his last name was "Kozlowski", "Jones", "Massoud", " or "Chong". Nah, not a chance. Another case of being a member of the lucky sperm club.

Remember this press release from his campaign:
The financial report is not designed for individuals with such a "massive wealth," his press release declared, since many of the line items for income and assets max out at $50 million. The release noted the resulting understatement, saying, "[i]f a building owned by Mr. Trump is worth $1.5 billion, the box checked is "$50,000,000 or more."

I wonder why no one ever runs for President with a name like Kotsolopolous or Bacciagalupe or Bezukladnikov.

Ha, like if Elvis Presley had never been a World famous singer, his name would certainly have been Aristocratic and Presidential enough to get him on the Debate stage? Right?
As for Trump, his problem is he is to egocentric and thinks he has more power and value than he really does. Right now he is winning people over with his take no prisoners stance which is a mirror to most supporting him, but as president would he act how they want him to. Many supporters of Trump hate executive orders, what do you think a doer like Trump will do if congress continues to not get along?
