The New York Times, no. I won't even read it. He got an initial $1 million loan then a $14 million loan, that Hillary even brought up in a debate. He paid both loans back, also. And now he has a $10 billion empire. A lot of people would've blown it on hookers and blow.
The $200 million figure is what his father was worth when he died. That was split by 5 siblings at $40 million each and much of that was in property not cash.
Just like the other things mentioned in your post, you can bet his tax returns were seen by many inside and perhaps outside the IRS before, during and after the campaign. Remember, one of Romney's supporters had his tax returns leaked to the media. If there was anything in Trump's tax returns which could have been used against him, we'd have seen it.
if that were the case he couldn't be borrowing anything for all these resorts and russian properties he's buying. I guarantee he is highly scrutinized for every penny he borrows and there are a wide variety of ways to determine financial worth. He is nothing like what Chesapeake was (for a local comparison)....highly leveraged on everything.
So has there been anything substantive to dispute this other than a lot of speculation?
Not trying to be difficult. Having a non-politician as President is different than what the mainstream is used to. Cuban isn't near the risk taker Tump is/was, he stumbled into Indiana HS basketball internet feeds, caught the wave of the tech revolution, bought the Mavericks and has sailed smoothly since then. Most people in Trump's case would have taken the syskatine "$200, 000,000" and disappeared. Give me 6 bankruptcies and the opportunity to enable thousands to provide for themselves and their families any day.
