I hadn’t thought of that. You are exactly right. He actually had a lot more cash than 10 billion pass through his organization. The 10 billion is just his personal growth
That’s been pissing me off since that little two-faced, duplicitous, weasel Robert Reich promoted it during the campaign.
Reich went around proclaiming how Trump could have made more money with wise investments as a narrative to demean Trump’s accomplishments.
The problem was he didn’t account for the amount Trump made: just his personal fortune. In that context, Trump made a whole lot more money than his personal fortune indicates.
