1. Trump's no billionaire

If he had a billion dollars just in a savings account
it would generate more interest than that.

[Madam45for2923]

2. Yes! He's lying about being a billionaire!

That's the biggest reason for still not releasing taxes. His whole public life he's boasted of being a billionaire. LIE!

[Wounded Bear]

3. His "wealth" is all smoke and mirrors... nt

[Orsino]

16. Of course he is.

His great wealth is supposed to be his qualification for office. Revelations that most of it never existed, and that the rest was badly managed, would undermine everything.

[tinrobot]

6. Even a fairly low 5% return would net $50million/year

He is not a billionaire by any measure.

[NewJeffCT]

4. Can somebody summarize for those of us at work

where we can't watch video.

Thanks

5. Saw O'Donnell on Morning Joe. Trumps income was *only* $3.4 million in 1995

O'Donnell's point is that that is remarkably low for a "billionaire". Trump's fellow billionaires would laugh at him

[Hortensis]

13. Business income, plus $6 million interest. Either way,

it'd be a long, hard slog to billionaire status at that rate. As O'Donnell pointed out, local news anchors in New York make more than $3.4 million a year, and his analysts agreed it suggests perhaps a $100-150M max net worth.

7. I wonder like one of the posters here said "all smoke & mirrors" is true & the reason Trump only can

boast & big talk about how rich he is, if it is all a lie. The main reason being is & not knowing that much about finance is that it would affect the loans he needs to keep operating. Just saying, seems to me it might be possible to operate mostly on smoke & mirrors, no cash, just what you can con from people.

8. He's all image. That's his financial capital.

But like goodwill, it can all disappear with a whiff.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

9. This is on par with those cheap cufflinks he gave Charlie Sheen....

Described as bad cubic zirconias in pot metal stamped "Trump".

[uponit7771]

10. +1

[JI7]

11. and that's why he has to do Apprentice and the stupid products with his name on it ?

would bill gates put his name to some crappy ties to sell in macys or wherever ?

[Hortensis]

14. Not "has" to. He loves being on TV, his name on stuff. He's found his level.

Or at least what was his level. We'll have to see how he comes out of all this.

[oasis]

12. That's why Trump will never reveal his taxes. nt

[Madam45for2923]

15. Yep he really is hiding! Nothing to do with audit! He is LYING BIG TIME!

[Cakes488]

17. Journalists and the American People need to keep pressing him on his taxes until November 8

There is no way in hell he is releasing his taxes...but we need to keep asking. The overt lack of transparency should be concerning to every American citizen.

[Stuart G]

18. Thanks for this post...shows again, what an asshole Donald is..nt
