Donald Trump is no longer on the annual list of Americas 400 wealthiest people mainly due to the languishing commercial real estate industry, Forbes reports.
If Trump is looking for someone to blame, he can start with himself. Five years ago, he had a golden opportunity to diversify his fortune. Fresh off the 2016 election, federal ethics officials were pushing Trump to divest his real estate assets. That would have allowed him to reinvest the proceeds into broad-based index funds and assume office free of conflicts of interest.

(19,651 posts)There is no chance that Trump didn't use his presidency to enrich himself personally. All of the crappy deals he made for the country certainly came at a price of helping his own personal business interests. He certainly is hiding money overseas.
