U.S. ethics office releases Trump's financial disclosure
politico.com ^ | 6/16/17 | POLITICO Staff

The U.S. Office of Government Ethics on Friday released President Donald Trump's financial disclosure, a 98-page document that details his sprawling hotel and real estate empire.

The White House said last month that Trump would voluntarily release his financial disclosure from the 2016 calendar year. The document shows Trump's assets, debts and transactions, but does not provide an exact picture of his net worth.

His net worth isn’t relevant. Suffice to say he’s loaded.

that’s what I don’t understand about the people who are always DEMANDING his tax returns. They won’t show his net worth either. And not one of those demanding would decline the offer for him to transfer his assets to them!

Poor as I may be, I LOVE the fact that there are some very, very, very wealthy people out there like Donald Trump ... and imagine what he’s given up to take on the thankless job of POTUS, to suffer the slings and arrows of the mindless. But thank God he has.

It must be said that his wealth protects him... all the DC pols are owned by someone else (or several someone elses), and he clearly is not. He’s his own man, much more than any of them can say.

Here’s a hint about his net worth: It’s a whole heap more than mine. LOL

And anyone who’s jealous or envious should probably reexamine themselves.

Exactly! It’s wonderful that this highly successful man, who did not need this headache, took it on anyway.

None of the net worth's of the senators or representative that I have read show specific net worth's. It is always a range.

For instance Washington State Senator Patty Murray has a net worth of between $866 thousand to $2.186 million and change.

It is an annual requirement. I filled one out for 16 years while I was in government. No, it does not provide an exact picture of net worth any more than it does for the thousands of other government workers who fill it out, including Congress. Politico tries to make it sound sinister.

Unlike most of both Houses of Congress Trump made his money before taking a political office.

Politico is the propaganda arm of the Never Trumpers and other RINOS.

“...I don’t understand about the people who are always DEMANDING his tax returns...”

When is Obama releasing documentation to prove that he’s eligible or qualified to run for President?

Since the majority of his assests are in real estate, his net worth varies depending on the commercial real estate market.

It's not as if he has X dollars in a passbook savings account.

Remember what Reagan said. Something like “No poor man ever gave me a job.”

“”It must be said that his wealth protects him... all the DC pols are owned by someone else (or several someone elses), and he clearly is not. He’s his own man, much more than any of them can say.””

I remember when he first announced he was going to run for president, that was the take - he would be crucified because there would be a whole passel of people out there who he wouldn’t owe any favors...no favors - no control. Their angst since is very palpable and transparent for the whole world to see but sadly, not everyone is seeing it.

These people are morons...

A person like Trump net wealth is constantly moving number...

It’s not like he has all his assets tied up in bonds.
