>> Trump has ALREADY shown weakness in the U.S. position regarding Ukraine and the Baltic States. How so? >> As it is he's worth maybe $3 Billion MAX. Well, Trump says 10B. Forbes, which did a bit of a hatchet job on his Net Worth, came up with 4.5. I can see that Forbes lowballed a lot of the figures. I would expect the 10B is high, since I think Trump would exaggerate it. But Forbes certainly undervalued the going concern values of the golf courses, and I think certain of the buildings. Forbes doesn't really provide enough information to know what mistakes they made, but it is easy to eyeball those figures and see some significant problems with them. So, maybe it is $6B. Whatever it is it is it is a hell of a lot bigger accomplishment than anything Clinton or any other candidate can claim. The man has run businesses, he has lived through ups and downs, and he has come back from being broke. These are all positive characteristics, and I really can't find one in Clinton. You and I don't know how much he inherited in 1999, 17 years ago. You can't get to those numbers even with a 15 or 20% ROI average. He certainly didn't get anything like $200M back in '74. The $1M figure sounds right although we'll never know anything other than what Trump says.
