FEC Discloses Donald Trump's Full Net Worth In 92 Page Report

Last edited Wed Jul 22, 2015, 07:12 PM - Edit history (1)

Real estate mogul Donald Trump has recently filed a personal financial disclosure for the Federal Election Commission, according to a report from The Guardian. This is the last step required for him to join the Republican presidential debate this Aug. 6. Immediately after, his campaign ad stated that his net worth is over $10 billion.

According to the report, this is well over the total net worth of 2012 GOP candidate Mitt Romney who was subsequently attacked for his excessive wealth during his presidential run. Despite Trump nearly repeating everything that troubled Romney, he has been rising in the national polls.

Trump isn't trying to hide it. According to Business Insider, immediately after he announced his intention to run for president, he stated, "I'm really rich. That's the kind of thinking you need for this country. Because you've got to make the country rich. It sounds crass ... It's not crass."

With regard to the FEC reports, Trump argued that these reports were "not designed for a man of Mr Trump's massive wealth."

I was told he would file for multiple extensions and then end up dropping out when the final deadline came. They don't seem to be posting in this thread.
