Nope, each of them are worth a little more than half of what Trump is...try again.

Wrong. From Forbes:

Richard LeFrak Net worth: $5.6 billion

Stephen Ross Net worth: $4.8 billion

Sheldon Solow Net worth: $3.5 billion

Jerry Speyer Net worth: $3.5 billion

Donald Trump Net worth: $3.5 billion

Whenever someone posts something about your Dear Leader Trump, and you respond with personal insults, because you just can't produce any facts or evidence to support your position. THAT is bot-like behavior, and yet you're calling ME a "paid bot"?? Ha!

What am I hearing from Trump that I don't like? His support for protectionist trade policies (tariffs), for one.

Trump has said nothing about tariffs in the context of protectionist trade policies . He has proposed them as a punitive action against unfair trade policies raised against us, and a means to force other countries to pay for expenses they've caused us to incur.

Tariffs and Protectionism are no more synonymous than Guns and Crime.

China's economy is not affecting us because China is winning (as Trump argues). China is affecting us because China's economy is melting down. They have a bigger real estate and credit bubble than the U.S. did in 2007-08. Far bigger. And their economy is, accordingly, on the verge of collapse. If you call that "winning," then, well, go ahead. You'd be wrong, but OK.

What? Trump has advocated for tariffs as a means of keeping manufacturing jobs in the U.S. (see his Ford example, where he threatened to impose a 35% tariff on ant Ford imports if they opened a plant in Mexico). That is the essence of protectionism.

Trump has $10 billion dollars.

This conscience troll couldn't even run a lemonade stand and neither could the corrupt politicians he worships. Both have lived off the government never having to run a business which actually requires producing results and extremely hard work.

They haven't produced anything while Trump has . but they dare criticize Trump .

Born: June 14, 1946 (age 69), Queens, New York City, NY

Net worth: 4 billion USD (2015) Forbes

So, he is one of the largest. The point is he is not bought and paid for like the rest.

According to Trump, and...well, no one else. Every independent assessment of his net worth is much lower.

And again, you resort to personal insults in defense of your Dear Leader Trump. How dare anyone criticize The Donald.

Oh, you're absolutely right that he's one of the largest. I was just responding to other posters saying that he was the greatest developer in the world.

And you're right that he's not bought and paid for like the rest. That's one thing I do like about him. But, to me, that doesn't outweigh his history as a big-government liberal.

They haven't produced anything while Trump has . but they dare criticize Trump . Running a successful business actually requires one to be extremely competent, work hard and be grounded in reality. Politicians and those in government never had to work just put on an act and lie and who can't do that?

To keep a domestic producer from jumping ship, but retaining access to our market.

That is the essence of protectionism.

No, the essence of Protectionism is to stifle competition with domestic producers by artificially raising the price of foreign goods.

That is NOT what he's proposing.

Do you even look at the links you post?

Trump's claims about his wealth have far exceeded other estimates. Forbes currently lists his net worth at $4 billion. Trump has also cited a few different figures since launching his presidential campaign last month.

As I said, Trump's net worth is $10 billion, according to Trump and no one else.

That's exactly what he is proposing. Leaving aside the location where a given car company is headquartered (that's pretty much irrelevant, as companies build plants all over the place now--just look at VW), Trump's policies would artificially raise the price of cars produced outside of the U.S., in order to stifle competition with cars produced in the U.S., with the purpose of encouraging companies to open plants in the U.S. instead of overseas. That's protectionism 101.

Why is it so important to establish the exact number of billions that Trump has? Whether it's $4b or $10b, it's a lot of money and indicative of a very successful career in business.

We could use somebody like this in Washington. Somebody who earns his own money instead of taking it from the taxpayers.

Trump is worth 10 billion dollars and he filed this papers that say that.

First, Presidential candidates are not required to disclose their tax returns. Many do, others don't (Romney did not in 2012, for example, and Trump has not).

Second, while candidates are required to disclose certain information about their assets, the valuation of those assets is largely determined by the candidate themselves, and no one at the FEC is going over that with a fine-toothed comb. So, in his forms, Trump claims that the net worth of his assets (including "goodwill," or the value of the Trump brand) is $10 billion. But the fact that Trump claimed that does not make that number accurate, and no other independent assessment of his worth has been close to that number.

But sure, keep insulting me. Your Dear Leader would like that.

“Reagan was not ever a businessman.”

Wrong! Reagan was the President of the Screen Actors Guild. A business position and leader if there ever was one.
