You hate him because he's rich, and you'd hate him if he was poor. At the end of the day, that's all the left has to offer. Hate. Time to let go of the rage and embrace a stronger, more determined USA. Trump is making America great again, with or without you.

Yep. Except it's too soon to tell if the presidency itself has increased or decreased his wealth. Per the article, "Forbes said that much of the decline in Trump's net worth is due to softness in the midtown Manhattan real estate market."

Yep.

Funny thing is, these are not mutually exclusive. That Trump is worth less than his claims proves he's a liar. If in 4 years, he has exponentially increased his wealth, it would be proof that he was abusing his role as president.

Trump drops 220 spots on the Forbes Billionaires List - Mar. 20, 2017
There will probably be a tweet saying that this is fake news.

I find it amazing people accuse Trump of seeking wealth from the presidency. He did not need money. How much trashy gold furniture, hot trophy wives, or billions does a man need? He ran because he didn't need those things and knew he would make a difference to average Americans and our lives.
What's really odd about your assertion is that Mrs. Trump's lawsuit alleged she has a "unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to benefit from the US Presidency. Granted, they may not need the money but why are they so straightforward in their intent to seek wealth from the Presidency?

...Beyond demonstrating that the Trumps are more than willing to take the offensive when it comes to lawsuits, the complaint also reveals plans for yet another extension of the Trump empire, arguing that Melania's brand has "lost significant value" and has impacted "major business opportunities that were otherwise available to her."

And we're not talking about the White House Easter Egg Roll. The suit lays out the plan for Melania Inc.:

Quote:
"Plaintiff had the the unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as an extremely famous and well-known person, as well as a former professional model and brand spokesperson, and successful businesswoman, to launch a broad-based commercial brand in multiple product categories, each of which could have garnered multi-million dollar business relationships for a multi-year term during which Plaintiff is one of the most photographed women in the world. These product categories would have included, among other things, apparel, accessories, shoes, jewelry, cosmetics, hair care, skin care and fragrance."

The complaint from Melania Trump's attorney, Charles Harder, seeks legal redress for "the commercial harm done to her, her commercial brand and her business opportunities."

It really is "a little icky all around."

A federal judge ordered President Trump's golf course in Jupiter, Florida, to pay former members $5.7 million.

The ruling is the result of a class action lawsuit that was brought against Trump National Golf Club and its partners in 2013.

He won't sue Forbes because he'll have to prove their numbers aren't true. He got burned on that when he sued the author of a book who said he was only worth 250M. Trump lost case and appeal.

Thanks for confirming it. .
Waldo, you really don't understand what is happening do you. It may be a great time to buy.

If Democrats continue to fight President Trump and he is not able to get tax reform through, there's a good chance the market will tank with the people's money along for the ride down (yes the rich and the middle class's money).

If Democrats take a breather and Trump is able to get tax cuts through, most likely the economy will be stronger economy, stronger jobs market, you'll get to keep more of your money, and people invested will increase their net worth.

It depends Democrats, do they want American prosperity, or do they want American demise?

You're right, & he had to reveal his taxes to 'prove his case'. He did & they didn't.
