I had a good night’s sleep and feel pretty good this morning, so I guess I am worth $10-12 million today.

Is he saying his ‘goodwill’ = $7B? Ha!

From Wikipedia:

However, according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), goodwill is never amortized. Instead, management is responsible for valuing goodwill every year and to determine if an impairment is required. If the fair market value goes below historical cost (what goodwill was purchased for), an impairment must be recorded to bring it down to its fair market value. However, an increase in the fair market value would not be accounted for in the financial statements.

Waiting for that writedown…

He’s never going to be poor but I think we’re seeing the beginning of the end for Trump as a super rich brand. He’s shot his overseas brand in the foot, and his domestic brand has shifted from “loudmouth celeb” to “politician”. He’ll live on Fox News at this point.

He is still worth more than I thought he was going to be worth. He is probably the most wealthy presidential candidate since George Washington.

Trump’s large estimations of his own personal net worth put a premium on that brand.

Well, hell … my “brand” is worth more than all the gold in the world. By my own “estimation,” I am worth hundreds of trillions. Is that how it works?

This comes from a guy verifiably worth $37 billion and who’s willing and happy to spend a lot of it on gun control advocacy.

Michael Bloomberg is a jooooooke! Everybody knows that! Listen, I have it on good authority that he’s on the verge of going broke because his financial news operation is so broken. Nobody uses it! I’m going to be starting my own financial news network that will be the classiest financial news network in the world! Only the best stories will be published on Trumpnews!

Channelling The Donald early in the day? You need to wildly wave your hands as you tell us more than we need to know. Are you doing that?

Maybe Mr Trump can response the wife rapey thing at the same time.

The fact remains that Trump is a guy who was born on third base, and thinks he hit a stand-up triple. His business genius lies in his ability to convince investors and lenders that he’s a business genius, abundant evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.
