12 Times That Donald Trump Has Contradicted Himself

3. On His Net Worth

Ask Donald Trump what he’s worth and he’ll gleefully tell you his estimated net worth is in excess of ten billion dollars. You really don’t even need to ask him; he’ll tell you that he’s freaking loaded without any prompting whatsoever. Of course, his ten billion dollar claim is hogwash. In the financial disclosure he filed with the Federal Election Commission, it was impossible for even veteran accountants to pinpoint his net worth. Seriously, it’s a masterpiece of equivocation, though it did admit that Trump takes a salary of only $14 grand and that he owes more than a quarter of a billion in debt. The only hard numbers on Trump’s wealth comes from Forbes, which estimates his worth at around $4.5 billion.
