I have a feeling this won’t be the last lie old Wilbur gets busted on…
Let’s just hope some were done under oath.
Donnie Two Scoops lives in mortal fear of the day that his true “worth” is made public.
Hope he reads about this and gets nightmares.
(Anybody want to take bets about how quickly Ross is booted from his job because of this???)
ETA: Is it wrong that I am ROTFLMFAO???
For getting caught lying?
Or for also being a fake-billionaire like Donnie?
The latter. The former isn’t even a misdemeanor in Trumpworld.
“It seems clear that Ross lied to us, the latest in an apparent sequence of fibs, exaggerations, omissions, fabrications and whoppers that have been going on with Forbes since 2004,”

Gail Collins (NYT) calls Trump a “thousandaire”. Pisses him off.
Forbes is in a lather because Ross lied about his assets and net worth. Me, I’m a bit miffed that he lied about his insider trading, money laundering bank and ties to the Russian oligarchy. I suppose that makes me part of the “secular left” that is responsible for some of the “disunity” in the U.S.
Oh, no Wilbur, say it ain’t so!
If we can’t believe in Wilbur Ross, what can we believe in?
And instantly call any unflattering truth a lie.
Down the GOP rabbit hole, where truth is called lies, lies are called truth, and logic is dead.
Trump lied about being worth 10 billion, he’s only worth 3 billion.
IOKIYAR i guess.
The Wilbur Ross businesses rot from the top down. A couple of years ago I had the great displeasure of dealing with one of Ross’ mortgage servicing companies that I discovered was literally committing fraud in real time and was trying to illegally siphon money from a transaction we were working on. I called the main offices of Wilbur Ross and was told that they didn’t believe a word I said and that they would most definitely not investigate anything. The VP who spoke with me was an insufferable jerk who laughed about the fact that the mortgage servicer was screwing investors and the borrower. Wilbur Ross is a stone cold crook and all his underlings follow the leader.

Ross portrays himself as a billionaire plus. Makes disclosures based on that presentation. Is in trouble because he has not made these disclosures properly. But his disclosures and failures to disclosed on a level of wealth is a sham because he is actually a multi-millionaire.
What? I am confused. Am I reading that correctly?
Praise Orwell, the great prognosticator of things to come
Wilbur Ross has kindly provided an abundance of reasons to loathe and despise him.
Over the years, he’s paid millions in fines, been forced to pay millions back to investors and has been sued “numerous” times, according to Forbes.
Those qualifications for a Cabinet position in this administration.
And that is really sad.
Actually, these are qualifications for prez, according to the GOP.
Shocked! I’m just so very not.
Wow, after months and months of the MSM doing everything they can to avoid “the L word” by using euphemisms for lying, this is the moment they call a trump official out for lying?
Hummm -
wonder if there are any formal financial documents that he ever produced to support the issuance of a loan or major line of credit …
- formal financial documents that contained major material misstatements of his assets - thus constituting a felony level fraud?
