Trump Claims He Fell Off Forbes's Richest List Because They Failed to Count Rubles

PALM BEACH, Florida (The Borowitz Report)—Lambasting Forbes for dropping him from its list of the four hundred richest Americans, Donald J. Trump claimed that the magazine did not take into account what he called “secret rubles.”

“Let’s say someone has been receiving payments of billions of rubles for four years, and they’re buried in a vault under the Kremlin,” Trump said. “Those losers at Forbes wouldn’t begin to know how to count those kinds of rubles.”

Claiming that he has been “treated very unfairly” by the magazine, he said, “This should never be allowed to happen in our country.”

He scoffed at the Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’s status as first on Forbes’s list. “If you count rubles, Trump is a triple Bezos,” he said.

This jackass simply is the pettiest piece of crap who cannot deal with anything he perceives is a slight. The fact that he torpedoed himself is just simply something he will ignore and blame on others, in this case Forbes. Coupled with the fact he all but admits much of his wealth is linked to Russia and their rubles is enough to sicken me that he occupied the White House for 4 disastrous years. He needs to be locked up in a straight jacket in a rubber room.

... like for example, whatever money he can snatch out of the ChumpHumpers' bank accounts. Remember all those zombie donations he got when the people didn't uncheck the box for "I want to make it a monthly donation!" Suddenly their credit cards got charged every month without them even realizing it.
