Trump: "I'm much richer than everyone thinks. I'm worth more than $7 billion."

[^_^ 5,021]

More than anything else, Donald Trump wants you to know that he is rich.

"Look, the news is that I'm much richer than everyone thinks," Trump says, possibly for the 11th time in one afternoon. "I'm worth more than $7 billion, with hundreds of millions in cash. That's after paying off mortgages, after buying airplanes … "

...

"Most people think I'm worth two billion. They don't know." He adds, "You know, I don't even have mortgages." It turns out that he has at least one: Documents on file with the city of New York indicate there is a $160 million mortgage on 40 Wall Street, which Trump borrowed $10 million to buy in 1996.

Trump has spent years trying to bulldoze the world into believing that he is worth a great deal more than independent analyses have confirmed. He wants the doubters and the haters and the petty critics and the other real estate people to know that not only could he do a better job than President Obama—that, if he were in charge, he would kick China's and Saudi Arabia's butts and have jobs flowing back into the U.S. within months—but that he's been goddamn successful at business.

Throughout his career's wild ups and downs, the value of Trump's holdings has been estimated anywhere from negative $295 million in 1990 (according to data released that year by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission), to $150 million to $250 million (Timothy L. O'Brien in The New York Times in 2005), to $2.7 billion (the latest Forbes ranking). Trump is so obsessed with the public perception of his wealth that he sued O'Brien for defamation in 2006, charging him with damaging his reputation and costing him business opportunities by low-balling his net worth. (He requested $5 billion in damages; the suit was later dismissed.)

Thank you for this post and thank you in advance for the more to come.

I woke up in a little bit of a down mood and you lifted my spirits.

I just wish you would add some cartoons to your Trump posts!

Someone needs to create a cartoon Trump super-hero caricature.

Whenever I read a quote from Trump, I feel like I can hear him saying it out loud. I think because I have watched too much of The Apprentice over the years.

Here's a cartoon. Not a superhero one though.

The difference between a wet racoon and Donald Trump? According to The Donald: "A wet racoon doesn't have seven billion fcuking dollars in the bank."

He's punking the whole lot of them GOPers silly enough to give him their support. If they don't want to realize this, so be it.

Of course he only has to clear up the confusion by releasing his tax returns. Obama has cleared the way so I don't know what's preventing him.

You actually watched that show? Seriously who watches ####### like that ? It's like watching other stupid reality TV shows like Dancing with the stars, surviver island, mtv, etc...

I would rather have my eyes gouged out with a hot iron than watch any of that brainless #######.

Or better yet, you could teach Donald how to be more sensitive.
