Yep and he will still NEVER show his tax returns because he's hiding so much ****.

Why are not a whole host of lottery winners, pro athletes, musicians and Hollywood entertainers not worth billions? Many of them have accumulated way more the 40 million.

The descrepency between Trump's own interpretation of his net worth and an enitity like Forbes - is strictly tied the formulation in how intellectual property valued.
I detest Donald, but I have never given credence to the idea that he was just born rich and doesn't know how to increase a fortune. Would a puke like this would have gotten rich if he were born poor? Um, no -- probably not -- he lacks the intelligence and humility to climb the ladder from the bottom rung, but being born where he was he learned the lesson well of how to take full advantage of his position to increase a fortune -- which he will apply in full to use the full might of the US treasury to enrich himself, his family and his cronies (in that order) in the coming years.

Well as Kellyanne, Reince, and the PE apologists say "you should take him seriously, but not literally."

The only thing that can save us now is the congress -- LOL @ the balance of powers. Those chumps will line up and argue about who gets to be molested by the Orange one.

LOL, no you've confused Trump with Hillary. Now that she lost the election she's losing all those contributors from world leaders... no more political clout.

How can that figure be right? According to his own admission:

Um, no, petch -- Hillary is another matter altogether -- one that's about as relevant to today's times as Aldai Stevenson, so not even worth discussing. I suspect you're profoundly ignorant of the facts that Donald Trump's father manipulated local politicians to make a fortune and taught his son to do the same, but you really have no excuse for not knowing this. Donald Trump has already explained it ad naseum. You should pay more attention to the man you voted for.

As much as you dont like Trump, I don't believe that even you actually believe he'll inflate his own holdings with tax payer money. Besides, he's under far too much scrutiny.

You can go back to interviews in the 90's with Larry King - He's wanted to be President for a long time.....and its never been about self-gain....It's much more about ego and the fact he really believes he can help the country.

I fully believe that Donald will use his position as the most powerful man in the world to become the richest man in the world. I also believe he'll use his power to enrich his friends and punish his enemies - with flagrant disregard for justice and decency.
