Comcast-NBCUniversal, Macy's cut ties with the Donald

I'd like to see that. I can't imagine under what circumstances he isn't worth billions -- as in some number in the plural billions. I'd bet he exaggerates his worth. That is the jackoff he is. But I can't imagine it isn't several billion at least. From the assets I know he has. There may have been a time when he might have been claiming billionaire status and he didn't have it -- but that would have been 15 or 20 years ago. I know there was a time when Trump's dad was still alive and Trump was living a flamboyant lifestyle and blowing through money and he wasn't worth that much, and he was even having money problems for a time. But from what I know about him, he has almost had two careers -- one right after his dad died, when he was trying to hit home runs with everything he got involved with and he made a lot of mistakes-- going for big and splashy instead of what made sense. And a second career, in which he surrounded himself with some smarter people who started putting together quieter, shrewder deals in which he accumulated a big portfolio of properties that has made him incredibly wealthy -- at least on paper as the high-end real estate market has gone ape.

The billionaires club has expanded quite a bit over the last decade with the asset bubble / inflation that has been created, and which Trump has to had benefited from -- it's now probably somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 people in the world who have more than a billion dollars, and I really can't imagine how Trump wouldn't be on that list. I just tried to find the story you are talking about and I am not finding it. Are you sure it was the NY Times?
