Trump: I Am Probably Worth More than $10 Billion
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
DONALD TRUMP: "A lot of pundits on television said Donald will never run and one of the main reasons is he is private and probably not as successful as everybody thinks. So I said to myself, you know, no one is every going to know unless I run because I am proud of my success. I have employed tens of thousands of people over my lifetime. That means medical, educational, that means everything. So a large accounting firm and my accountants have been working for months because it is big and complex and they put together a statement. A financial statement. This is a summary but everything will be filled eventually with the government and we don't need extensions. We will be filing it on time. We don't need anything. And it was even reported incorrectly yesterday. They said he had assets of $9 billion. That is the wrong number. That is the wrong number. Not assets. So they put together this and before I say it, I have to say this. I made it the old fashion way. Real estate. It is labor and union is good and some bad and lots of people not in union and it is all ovthe place and building all over the world. -- Over the -- and I have assets, big accounting firm, one of the most highly respected, $9 billion and 240 million dollars. And I have liabilities of about $500 -- that is long term, debt, very low interest. One of the big banks came to me and said you don't have enough borrowing can we loan you $4 million? I said I don't want it. But in two seconds they would give me whatever I want. I have a total net worth and now with the increase it will be well over $10 billion. But here a total networth of $8 million. After all debt. All of expenses. The greatest assets like the trump tower, 1290 of Americas, bank of America building in San Francisco 40 Wall Street sometimes referred to as the trump building. Many other places all over the world. So the total is $8,737,500 dollars. I am not doing that to brag. I don't have to believe it or not. I am doing that to say that that is the kind of thinking our country needs. We need that thinking. We have the opposite thinking."
