Even if he gave up his ENTIRE fortune of 3.7 billion it wouldn’t fund the gov’t for half the day!!

3.7 billion? Doesn't Trump say it is 10 billion? I believe that Trump should know more what his finances are than Forbes or the other media than low ball his wealth.

Even if that’s true his entire wealth only funds the gov’t for one day.

The point is the gov’t spending contrast.

I understand the monetary value of Trump's assets is somewhere in the neighborhood of $3 billion to $4 billion. He comes up with his $10 billion figure by estimating the value of his "brand." It's easy to do this because he's not a publicly traded company, doesn't have a market capitalization figure computed regularly as shares are traded, and doesn't have regular SEC filings. He could just as easily say his "brand" value is $10 trillion, and there's really no way to dispute any of this with hard evidence.

I'm sure the value he puts on his "brand" is overstated. Trump Tower, for example, would probably lose no more than 2% of its value if it was sold tomorrow and became Fifth Avenue Tower.
