So you admit you fancy Bloomberg, eh? One thing about your boy Bloomie, he’ll never change his position on guns unlike The Donald - who, by the way, has a gun permit, carries a gun. Bloomie hides behind his wall of security men.
Those returns detail his income sources. No businessman likes to reveal the sources of his income and how he conducts business.
Don/t do it Donald.
Why should he show the voracious anti-trump media how he does business.
“Why to zealot Cruz supporters lie so much?”
The source is Fortune magazine and hundreds of other sources.

Wow..I have to say, there are quite a few Trump haters on FR, but I think you qualify to sit on the Board of Directors.
I’m not sure about that, but they are certainly highly erratic.
I fully get their anger. I share it.
But turning over the keys to a drunk monkey with a hand grenade is not the answer.
If you have an IRA or 401 K, did you have an increase or decrease last year?
Most Americans lost value last year!
LoL.
He has World wide Properties that are worth what a person is willing to pay for them.
Mitt already Harry Reid on Taxes and Mr. 47% Romney know this so there is no way you can look at his return and get a Net Worth.
See the Clinton's
As my colleague Dan Alexander explains in his well-researched piece, Bill and Hillary left the White House essentially broke in 2001 (note that our valuations include spouses’ assets as well), only to make an incredible $230 million over the next 14 years through speaking engagements, book deals, and consulting gigs. To our own astonishment, their latest public disclosure lists a maximum of $53 million in assets (we valued them at $45 million). The Clintons make it crystal clear that despite disclosure requirements by the Federal Election Commission and the Office of Government Ethics, and even adding voluntarily revealed tax filings, the relationship between money and power remains fraught with obscurity. To a certain extent, financial transparency is an illusion in Washington. Leaving the highest offices a public servant can aspire to, such as the Presidency or the State Department, can be exceptionally fruitful. 8 Million difference or 20%
“Well, you know the old joke about how to make a small fortune: start with a large one.”
And that is, indeed, what appears to have happened.
And more power to him. It looks like he’s had fun.
But he shouldn’t pretend to be a great businessman. Because he’s not.
Where is it written that a candidate for President either must have or will have money to run for the job?
Maybe THE best summation of Donald Trump. Sometimes I think there is something wrong with me, that I can not jump on the Trump 757.....then I read a reasonable message and I feel normal again. Thanks.
Maybe you have read the latest from Trump........He claims he reads the bible more than anyone ever, more than John Kerry. (I have no idea what that means). Then he does this.....”I have a great relationship with God and Evangelical VOTERS.” (I find mixing politics and religion repugnant, so that isn’t my point). It is that by simply making this statement he considers Evangelicals stupid because they wouldn’t know they are being played. Plus the comment about the bible is simply a lie.
“No offense or anything, but you are dangerously insane.”
Me and the editors at Fortune Mag, Yahoo, Bloomberg, etc., apparently
So the honest hue and cry should be for Trump to fully disclose everything he owns and owes.
Which is perfectly in line with conservative values. /s
My accountant and attorney insists my net worth remain very low, and there are numerous advantages to this. I am sure Trump gets better legal and financial advice than I.
My assets are not in my name, they are in a corporation and trusts (mainly in case I were to die, but also for personal liability reasons).
I can increase my personal assets if need be, a little bit overnight, or more in a few months time as needed.
I have been told over and over that only a fool has a large amount of personal assets (especially in this day of an aggressive IRS and ambulance chasers).
Whose side is Mitt on? Sour grapes, Mitt.
“You’ve never cared about someone’ net worth when selecting them as president.”
True.
But none have pretended to be a great businessman as his or her chief qualification, except Ross Perot, whom I admit held great fascination until I ultimately voted for Bush.
Wiki
Frederick Christ "Fred" Trump (October 11, 1905 - June 25, 1999) was an American real estate developer.
If no body cared, why would anybody write about it? You may suspect motive but even with a negative motive, the obviously care.
The only people that don’t care are die hard trump fans. They are unreachable and zealous in their support.
National Review supported Goldwater and Reagan back when the Eastern Establishment resisted. Do you give them no credit for that?
What is your opinion of William F. Buckley and Bill Rusher?
