Trump Organization worth one tenth of value previously reported | The Independent

While the Trump Organization claimed $9.5bn (£7.2bn) in sales last year, Mr Trump's public filings suggest revenues of less than a tenth of that amount, between $600m (£450m) and $700m (£530m).

“It was obviously important to Donald to have his company at the top of the list and I don't know why he felt that way but the numbers that he presented are just flagrantly untrue,” Aaron Elstein said.


Shocker. Trump wants us to think he's more successful than he really is. He's probably not even a billionaire.

What public filings would they be referring to?

Property sales information?

Hospitality taxes?

If Trump wasn't born into wealth and given millions from his daddy after college, he'd be a regular Joe like the rest of us. Women wouldn't let Donald grab them by the ***** because he WOULDN'T be rich. He'd just be some d-bag from Queens.

Trump is the epitome of a silver-spoon, spoiled, entitled brat. Never worked hard a day in his life. His father's money helped him avoid serving his country during a time of war.

No matter how much money he has, he'll always be a d - bag from Queens.

The guy is a Wharton grad, and a tremendous promoter, and salesman. He would have been tremendously successful even without the relatively small seed money he received from his father.

Trump has been tremendously successful. Good grief, he's President of the United States and hobnobs with the richest man in the world.

His financial situation may be a questionable given that he has a tendency to exaggerate.

Plus, he is in the property development and hospitality management industry and a good half of his customer base wouldn't stay at a Trump property if their lives depended on it. Whether the other half can make up the slack remains to be seen.

Last I read, condo sales were slow, but investigations into Trump properties was up. The only Trump properties that appear to be doing well were the half dozen where customers had an expectation of running into Trump.

This explains why the middle class is being required to pay more to lower his tax bills.

Yet he's still a pathetically needy man-child who finds it necessary to create phone calls praising him, calls he never actually received in lame attempts to inflate his fragile ego.
