I have to concede that when your name is your "brand" and your brand is your livelihood

Inflating the worth of your brand can be a bit self serving.  

It would not surprise me a bit if Trump has not inflated his worth and by extension his successes by a bit. or maybe even more than a bit.

IMO, Trump's greatest weakness, calling into doubt his "billionaire status", which is his greatest appeal. If proof severely undercuts this, he's more cooked than he already is. Groveling to donors is not DT's style. There is talk among the GOP to" buy" Trump to drop out. Highly unlikely, but intriguing.

"Mark Cuban.. If @realDonaldTrump were fractionally as rich as he says he is,he would write a $200mm check to propel his campaign. He doesn't have the cash"  

   The worst thing Mr. Trump could do is write a check for 200 million to propel his campaign at this early point in the race.  
  I'd  suggest he sit back and watch crooked  Hillary be the first to burn through a few    
  hundred million before the convention.  
   
    I can only wonder if anyone else has noticed,  the evil woman doesn't have as many "follow me  fools" ads, online, as she did last week.  
   Did she determine she wasn't winning over  many new followers per million clicks ?  
     
   I receive an email from evil war monger Hillary every day, begging for money.
    I'd be crazy to send her ten cents but it's fun watching her beg.  
       
   I hadn't received a single request for cash from Mr. Trump until yesterday.  
   I did my patriotic duty, sent a contribution  to Mr. Trump, more to follow on payday.  :-

& now the "fantasy land" of HRC "begging for $--------"--------LMFAO !

Trump's worth 10 Billion------or so he claims---if that's true, why go begging his addled supporters for $ ?! Jesus, talk about throwing away good $ after bad.

Strong hunch is that in terms of "liquid assets", Trump has considerably less than 1 billion cash on hand.

If things don't work out, Trump plans to open a  "Trump G.E.D." university------------ ;)

That Cuban is correct.  

I do not know one way or the other if Cuban is correct or not.

However, if/when anyone says anything adverse about the GOP or any Republican you seen to take it as fact, simply because you want it to be.

They were friends and know each other for years.

So I guess Cuban does not know, what he is talking about FM?
Also why has Trump, not responded to Cuban?
Then is using campaign cash to pay himself and family back?

Mark Cuban knows Trump is a fraud and I know you are not that smart!
Just like some other Trump supporters.

First I clearly stated that I do not know one way or the other, regarding cuban’s claim

Even though they were (past tense) friends do you really think, in the past, they discussed or revealed details of their personal finances/wealth?  

Now that the primaries are over you clearly have some extra time on your hands.

Butt I’m sure you will soon be out campaigning for hillwhorie with some of your  TrueSupporters.

It's like you really don't understand, how stupid your comments make you look on here.
I still don't get, it with you. Lol
Just like when Trump opens his mouth.

Also when you post a picture of yourself.
Just make sure you post the correct one.

Or lets put it this way, lets suppose you have a real estate developer worth a hundred million, what do you think the chances are he has liquid assets of ten million? Not too fucking likely.

Now if you are talking billionaires like Bill Gates who's major asset is stock in Microsoft, or any other billionaire who got that way on Wall Street or by going public, their percentage of "liquid" assets is going to be much higher than someone who's companies are closely held.

...to get the money he needs.  That is, if he isn't leveraged up to his ass in debt.  And many of the properties only have the Trump name licensed to them; he doesn't own them.  But then again, Trump should have a lot of liquid assets because of his licensing income and TV show income.

Also, look at the lifestyles of Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Mark Cuban compared to Trump.  Someone who lives that ostentatious a lifestyle is usually trying to prove he's rich.  People who are really rich have nothing to prove.

Forbes ( see below link ) says 4.5, which, from my POV of the article's methodology, sounds like a well educated guess. Cuban says he's worth in the neighborhood of 100 mill . Which is it ? Trump is a "wold class liar", so highly unreliable. He hasn't self funded yet & only donated the long promised 1 mill to the vets when the press nailed him for it. That sets my bullshit meter off. Like I said earlier, HRC has over 90 mill in the bank for campaign funds. If he's as rich as he says, why not give 100 million to his campaign ASAP & overtake her ? Guys like Adelson & Bloomberg are capable of that. Is it possiblet hat Trump doesn't have the funds to do that ? Sure looks that way to me.

whom you are replying .

drugs will do that

apparently the intervention did not work

clearly you are still on the drugs and that is sad.

In Welchers We Distrust............and druggies too

If that's the case , why doesn't he funnel $ 100 million into his campaign ? HRC has over 90 million in her war chest, including her superpac. Why doesn't he try to match her ? Rhetorical question.

I doubt Trump would sell off a few golf courses to fill up his checking account. I suspect most of Trump's wealth is in property, real estate, maybe land. Very real wealth, but supplying only limited available spending money. Of course, he could borrow against his stuff, if his credit is good.

It's like, if we had some bacon we could have bacon and eggs if we had some eggs. I find myself in that kind of a fix every once in awhile.

cheesy knows NOTHING of what he speaks

Do you have a coffee cup, a pen, a small bit of paper, and some tape or a rubber band?

When you get that stuff together, fold and tear the bit of paper so it looks like a price-tag and write the words, "For Sale! One Billion Dollars!" Then tape or rubber-band it to the coffee cup.

You now have a coffee cup valued at a billion dollars.

Don't ever sell it for any less!

As long as you keep it in the back of your cupboard, you will be a billionaire.

Good luck!
