Donald Trump

According to Forbes and all the sources Ive looked.

He is a whipping worth of 2.2B

Yet you listen to these liberals on these boards and they claim he is broke. Lol.

What? Literally nobody has ever said that. What they have pointed out is that he has filed for bankruptcy 7 times and that most of his wealth was ill-gotten.
 
Trump’s ultimate source of wealth is in the power and fame he has. There’s endless amounts of equity in the Trump universe now.

And think of all the income he produced for media outlets that shared a view of how he should be loved or hated.

Trillions of dollars.

Strawman fallacy.

Trump is likely not as rich as he claims - note he says 10 billion and Forbes has him at less than a quarter of that - but nobody disputes he is wealthy. He has done fine in real Estate (duh anyone with capital to invest can) and on TV (at least he's good at entertaining).

However his business ventures have mostly failed: starting an airline or food lines; running casinos. So he's not as good an actual entrepreneur as he claims. Nor is it true he earned that wealth from nothing. He inherited in today's money something like $400 million from his family. If he had just put it in real estate and left it there thirty years ago, it would still be worth that $2 billion today.

So he's actually no better off than if he'd never bothered with his other ventures at all. Possibly worse off given all the lawsuits they've caused. Of course he's making a good few million back off of running government out of his own properties, but that's not business, that's fleecing.

So yeah he's rich. Nobody seriously denies this.

Unfortunately, he's lost about 1.5 billion since taking office. Dems are determined to sabotage all of Trump family businesses until there is nothing left ... along with the financial ruin ("investigations") of every non-politician associated with him.
 
thank God for his daddy. otherwise he'd be selling Amway.
 
I love when idiot right wingers make up stuff that people never said. Very entertaining.

Cool story bro, too bad you made it up!



Figure in his debt, and you're probably richer....

Once the indictments start mounting in NY.... :lamo
 
it helps when you can grift from the taxpayers.

A few important things to note:

1. Just how wealthy he is depends on who is asking. If it’s the tax man, Trump pulls in less than $500,000 annually because he claims a New York tax credit for that.

2. Why is a person who is supposedly rolling in billions robbing his own charity to pay his bills?

3. There isn’t a bank in America that will lend him money anymore because of his past failures to repay and his history of bankruptcy so he’s been forced to beg for loans from foreign banks. He’s already defaulted on a $640 million loan from Deutche Bank and has hundreds of millions of dollars in additional foreign loans coming due in the next four years.

4. Most or all of the wealth that Trump supposedly possesses seems to be tied up in real estate.

He may have a large net worth because of his real estate holdings but all indications are that Trump is cash poor and has been for a very long time.

Trump's actual net worth is a closely guarded family secret and some have claimed he is not really a billionaire. If that number is correct he's doubled his net worth since he took office. It's good to be King. Trump is no where near Putin though. He is supposed to be worth $200 Billion. It's even better to be dictator.

"In 2016, Forbes estimated Trump's net worth at $3.7 billion. During the three years after Trump announced his presidential run in 2015, Forbes estimated his net worth declined 31% and his ranking fell 138 spots."

Like I said...Trump actual net worth is a family secret like with all mob bosses..It's a "If I told you I'd have to kill you" type of thing. Why do you think he guards his tax returns like a lion guards his cubs?

What?!? You already forgot what you said a few minutes ago: " If that number is correct he's doubled his net worth since he took office. " ?!?

:lamo
 
Forbes also retracted their announcement that Kylie Jenner was worth 1 Billion. They found the mom had made numerous lies and submitted forged tax returns to give her the appearance of a billionaire. How do we even know Trump is really worth what they say? I'll believe the tax returns when he delivers them to the public.

Trump has lost money since he has been in office. He turned over the company's business to his sonsand was not going to pursue building new hotels or expand others in foreign countries.
Currently the Trump organization has three properties overseas. Aberdeem, Scotland, a house and lodge with a highly rated golf course. The MCaleod House is currently available for private buyout. The foundation of the house dates back to the 1400's. The lodge is associated with the golf course with a restaurant and rents out rooms for all occasions.

Doonbeg, Ireland, is a 5 star luxury hotel complete with a golf course, restaurants, spas right on the oceanfront. They too rent out rooms for weddings/receptions and anything else.

Turnberry Scotland, this hotel was awarded the most luxurious hotel in 2018. It has a great golf course that has been home to 4 open golf championships. It is right on the coast. According to their website there is a lighthouse on the property that they converted into a two bedroom suite.

As far as hotels in the U.S., there are at least 6 hotels all located in Democratic run cities.

Chicago, Vegas, Miami, NYC, Waikiki and Washington D.C. I doubt the Trump organization is doing a stellar business at this time. After seeing the violence in Vegas, Chicago, Miami, NYC , Washinton D.C. break out in all these cities. And I doubt very much that people inland are traveling to Waikiki because of the pandemic.
