What if Trump Doesn’t Have Billions?
National Review ^ | 2/25/2016 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 02/25/2016 2:18:17 PM PST by Jewbacca

Why would Mitt Romney go on national television and declare, "I think we have good reason to believe that there's a bombshell in Donald Trump's taxes. Either he's not anywhere near as wealthy as he says he is, or he hasn't been paying the kind of taxes we would expect him to pay"? Since when does buttoned-down, white-bread Mitt Romney make audacious, provocative accusations? Romney's accusation might be a safe bet — if not to be verified, then to never be refuted. Just a few years ago, Trump refused to release un-redacted tax returns, even when it could help him win a $5 billion libel lawsuit against a New York Times reporter and author. If Trump was unwilling to release his returns in that circumstance, how likely is it that Trump will release them before Election Day? Just for your info, tax returns have 0 to do w/ someone's net worth. I have already filed my financial statements w/ FEC. They are great! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2016 Trump's wealth is a key part of his public image, his status in the eyes of his fans, and his self-image. On July 15, Trump issued a statement declaring, "As of this date, Mr. Trump's net worth is in excess of TEN BILLION DOLLARS." (Capital letters in original.)

He won’t try to steal the White House furnishings and silver either. I hope Trump reminds people of how trustworthy the Clintons were.

So trustworthy....that Trump invited them to his wedding and donated $100,000 to their foundation. Obviously, since Trump approves of them, birds of a feather.

Yes my 32 years in the IDF have left me clueless about self defense and weapons.

Trump doesn’t have to PROVE anything! in this country you are innocent until PROVEN guilty. The burden is on the accuser. So let the accusers, including the ones on this thread, prove Trump isn’t as wealthy as he says he is. PROVE IT or SHUT UP!

His father “LOANED” him some money and he PAID IT BACK! He was already wealthy from his own efforts when he graduated from College.

I’d like to see the proof of that and have it backed up by other posters on this thread. We all know how you take liberties..................and that’s putting it politely.

Well, I have well over seventy years handling weapons effectively, so looks like you’re still a bit wet behind the ears.

Maybe, just maybe he is tired of the bs coming from dc, the outright treason, the alien invasion, the piecemeal selling out of this nation’s wealth, security, and standing for personal gain, and unlike you and I, is in a position to affect change.

Sending out desperation fund raising letters

Sticking to Texas

Hardly spending an ad money for Super Tue

Looks like Team Cruz is running on fumes. Sure aren’t acting like a team with a “15 point lead” in Texas

There was a time that as true.

No longer. Now, this is average.
