Trumps Net Worth Has Dropped $300 Million in One Year as the Pandemic Hurts His Businesses
President Donald Trumps personal net worth has dropped $300 million in one year as the coronavirus pandemic hurts his businesses, according to Bloombergs Billionaires Index. This means the president has lost roughly 10 percent of his wealth since his inauguration. His net worth now stands at $2.7 billion, according to the Billionaires Index.
The drop marked the sharpest decline since Bloomberg began tracking his fortune in 2015. It started with a decrease in income across the Trump Organizations portfolio of office buildings and was compounded by the coronavirus pandemics impact on property markets, Bloomberg News reports.
Declines in the value of the presidents office building at 40 Wall Street, his iconic Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue and properties owned jointly with Vornado Realty Trust accounted for some of the biggest hits to his net worth. His golf courses also lost value amid a broader slide in prices, as fewer young people take up the sport, the outlet continues.

The news comes even as the president continues to mislead voters on the state of the American economy.

likely 50% of what is posted. His Lawyer gave us a indication as to how the Crime Family played the Appraisal Game.
Bet his true net is maybe on a good day is a couple Million.

He's never done anything except move other people's money around, borrow more of it, and then declare bankruptcy leaving his lenders holding the empty bag.
You're not really wealthy if all you have is money you've borrowed from banks.
His entire life has been one giant scam and fraud.
