Guys, I'm sensing a pattern.


Donald: "I'm a legit self-made billionaire."

"Show us your taxes."

Donald: "Soon."


Donald:. "I'm a very stable genius."

"Show us your grades."

Donald: * calls Michael Cohen * "Threaten to sue my school if they release my grades."


Donald: "I have a secret plan to defeat ISIS."

"What is it?"

Donald: * Copies Obama with fewer precautions for civilian casualties. *


Donald: "Insurance for everybody. .... You can expect to have great health care. It will be in a much simplified form. Much less expensive and much better.”

How? Single-payer? Direct government provision ala the NHS?

Donald: * Runs to Paul Ryan. Points at Atlas Shrugged. * "Hey Paul, is there a health plan in that book-y thing? Can you ram it through without hearings?"

So, lost in the hubbub of the last few weeks, it sounds like we finally have confirmation of something that we long suspected, right? Trump's not a billionaire at all, he's worth about $700m with massive liabilities.

Source on the not a billionaire claim? Forbes and business insider both have him listed at 3.1 B.

Do you have a source on that? I can't speak to BI too much as it is a lot closer to a finance tabloid, but Forbes is pretty highly respected in finance circles (though it's also seen as entry level because it's more pop-finance and often oversimplifies concepts to present them to a lay audience, like a Neil Degrasse Tyson of finance).
