Trump: "I'm worth whatever I feel", boasting about his wealth everywhere

[Liberal_in_LA]

And in his own media blitz, Trump -- who is acting like a candidate, even though he hasn't officially become one -- has been boasting about his wealth.

But just how much Trump is actually worth remains the subject of debate and even a lawsuit.

Last week, Trump told CNN's Candy Crowley that his net worth is "many, many, many times Mitt Romney," making him a better-suited contender for president. And on Thursday, he reiterated the claim on CNN's American Morning.

"Forbes says $2.7 billion. I can tell you that's a very low number. It's much more than that," Trump said, adding if he decides to run, he would provide a financial statement. "I think people will be extremely impressed."

1. He needs to make people think he's that rich to make up for

his very very VERY small penis.

[wtmusic]

6. Possibly not a physical attribute

but he does seem insecure.

If he really starts taking this seriously the pros will have him for lunch. He's way out of his league.

13. lol I didn't even catch that

and I read it like 3 times before I posted.

2. The one with the most money wins?

Yep, that worked so well for Meg Whitman. NOT.

3. You would think a man as rich as he is could buy

the Hair Club For Men and give that weasel on his head a vacation.

4. How much of Trump's billions came from corporate welfare?

My operational premise is that most billionaires game government (ie bankster bailouts).

[themadstork]

14. In Trump's case it's familial welfare.

He was nearly ruined in the mid-90s and got a "loan" of ten mil from his siblings. And of course his dad was incredibly wealthy.

Honestly I don't think his net worth exceeds a billion. The higher estimates rely on the supposed value of his "brand name," which I suspect is vastly overestimated.

5. Small penis syndrome. n/t

7. Please nominate him, GOP.

Oh pretty please.........

[GomezLives]

8. Yeah, talking about how rich you are always impresses.

[Raine]

9. IMO Trump has "daddy issues" because he inherited

apparently he feels he couldn't have made it without that kick-start. Pathetic to have so much materially but be so miserable and lacking in self-esteem. :nopity:

10. Of course he has to exaggerate his wealth.

How else could he line up his next wife when he tires of this one. I mean really, who would want him otherwise. The man is a gross pig. And not all that bright.

11. What a wild cannon

Keep shooting, pal...

[lumpy]

18. Trump appears to believe that the presidency has more

power than it actually has. Makes one wonder if he knows how our government works in all areas.

[Ilsa]

15. Yeah, keep it up, asshole!! I love it! They'll be hating his smug self sooner than I thought. nt

[ecstatic]

16. Vote for me because I'm way way richer than you!

:eyes:

[shanti]

17. worshipping

at the temple of mammon, and attracting stupid, like-minded followers. that's all he's about. i thought schwarzenegger was bad...

20. The Koch bros. are LAUGHING at you, Trump

You can't even buy a clue. You're a mere tenant in one of their slum dwellings.

If you don't serve them, you're out on your ass.
