Do you believe that Trump lost $600 million dollars in wealth in the last year?

[kentuck]

That was the report from Forbes magazine.

However, I doubt that it is true. He has made millions off the US government and his connections. He made deals with countries, like China, to attain licenses that had been on hold for many years.

Where would he have lost that much money??

[Pachamama]

1. I believe he has been making less than he claims and losing money for decades now and I also believe

...that he has a lot of illegal dirty loans from not-so nice sources that want it back with interest and he owes bigly.

4. +1

[trotsky]

12. This is absolutely correct. n/t

[FSogol]

2. He's killing his brand. n/t

[Not Ruth]

3. He did not work last year

[librechik]

5. Donald doesn't ever "work"--he probably divested n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

6. No I Don't Believe It. But Not For Your Reason

He has NEVER had as much money as he claims. There is conflation of assets and net worth when it comes to this guy and since he can't get loans in this country and from Germany, it suggests there is more leverage than estimated by Forbes and Money.

So, i don't believe he ever had as much as he claims. Now, his valuation may be down, but not by $600 million because he didn't have $4 billion to begin with.

7. GOOD

that's is notable, but grifter-in-chief has probably gotten from the american treasury, through the machinations of ivanka and kushner, much more than that.

I still have a fantasy of all 3 of these clowns ending up on the street begging......dirty....stinking...hungry....and disease ridden.

[Wounded Bear]

8. Hope is a better term for what I feel about it...

IDK, might be a "poor baby" attempt by Forbes. Nothing gets Repubs off like being able to claim victimhood.

[syringis]

9. Frankly?

I believe he have never had that money...

As I believe he is not as wealthy as he claim, not even as much as Forbes Magazine reports.

I see him as someone on the ropes searching money anywhere, at any cost.

It seems his debt are closer to 2 billion than the 350 millions $ he claims.

[Johonny]

10. Most of his wealth is based on the value of his brand

Which has clearly gone down. Suddenly being associated with a Trump property isn't all that attractive to people.

[Gothmog]

11. Trump has been lying about his net worth for a long time

[onecent]

13. We SHOULD have his tax forms. It's really makes me go off

when I think about that.

No other president should come in without giving us their Tax returns.....

Wish Mueller would give it up and get him.

[Orrex]

14. I'm sure that his tax returns will clear up any confusion on this subject

[former9thward]

20. Tax returns would be meaningless.

Tax returns do not show net worth. And they do not show paper losses. I read posts that say Trump will make hundreds of millions with his new tax plan. And then I read posts saying he is broke. If he is broke then he can't make hundreds of millions (or anything) on any tax plan. I will trust Forbes over internet speculation based on no evidence whatsoever.

[GoCubsGo]

15. I'm not convinced that he ever had that much wealth in the first place.

He's full of shit. Why should we believe he's worth that kind of money?

[cbdo2007]

16. He probably took a $600 Million loss on some old deal he did, just so he can not pay

taxes on the new cash he's funneling through his companies as president. It's all a shell game, so if he really did "lose" that money it is to gain from somewhere else.

[Kaleva]

17. He's just a piss boy for the ultra rich

When compared to those with net worth of around 80 billion, Trump and I are pretty close and I'm on SSDI.

[maveric]

18. It just added 600 mil to his DEBT.

I betcha.

[lagomorph777]

19. He never had that much;

he just went deeper into debt, when most people stopped buying his fake products.

[Vinca]

21. Since we have no proof of his debt - and neither does Forbes - he could be broke.

Unless he takes the armed guards off his tax returns, it's anyone's guess what he is or isn't worth.

[Blue_Tires]

22. No, I think that's fraudulent just like his

bankruptcy which conveniently was announced during his messy divorce from his first(?) wife

[no_hypocrisy]

23. Wow! No wonder Trump's nickel-and-diming the Secret Service.

He thinks he's poor!

[Takket]

24. let's see the tax returns................
