Not as Rich as We Were Led to Believe

I think even my cousin Lex, a staunch conservative and Trump supporter, would be troubled by this.  The Chief Executive of the United States continues to make mucho moola simply because he's the Chief Executive.

It's been reported that the Secret Service has paid at least $63K to the Trump Organization for various aspects of their stay at Mar-a-Lago.  But The Donald's estimates of his own wealth (with apologies to Carl Sagan, billions and billions) continue to be exaggerated.  Mr. Trump recently plummeted on the  Forbes list of 400 richest Americans.  That list shows Trump's fortune fell by $600 million to $3.1 billion ; his standing was the lead balloon of the list, dropping from 156 in 2016 to 248 this year.

So much for the business genius ...
