from SLATE: >The Wall Street Journal gets a hold of some confidential court filings in the defamation suit that Donald Trump filed against a writer who said The Donald was not as rich as he claimed to be. Trump claims he's a multibillionaire, but a book by a New York Times editor says the real figure is somewhere less than $250 million. In a deposition for the defamation case, Trump says that he estimates his net worth in part by "mental projection." He goes on: "My net worth fluctuates, and it goes up and down with markets and with attitudes and with feelings, even my own feeling." <
I would guess that he is heavily leveraged, so that appearing on TV shows (to maintain his celebrity status) is needed to avoid bankruptcy. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
