The new Forbes list of billionaires in America shows that Trump's fortune declined by more than $1 billion between when he took office in 2017 and when left office in January | Analysis by ChrisCillizza

"I said to one of my friends, a very wealthy friend, I said, 'You know, I'll bet you it cost me $2 or 3 billion and it's worth every penny of it,'" Trump told Fox News in 2018."I don't need the money and it's worth every penny because I'm doing so much for the country.""This thing is costing me a fortune, being president," he reiterated in 2019.And this in 2020:"[It] cost me billions of dollars to be president of the United States.

In each episode of his weekly YouTube show, Chris Cillizza will delve a little deeper into the surreal world of politics. Click to subscribe! Rather than divest of his assets when he was elected president, Trump instead put things in a trust managed by his two eldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. His eldest daughter, Ivanka, on the other hand, divested of all of her major assets -- including all common stock -- when she joined the White House. According to CREW, a government watchdog, Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner"reported between $172 million and $640 million in outside income while working in the White House.

ChrisCillizza Shouldn't be making any money tbh. He is a domestic terrorist

ChrisCillizza 🤣🤣🤣

ChrisCillizza and you see this as a 'good against Trump' and not as a 'maybe he wasn't in it for the money' view right?

ChrisCillizza FakeNewsCNN ya think? He was busy building the best economy ever!! Not like Biden who just takes China Kickbacks and is in the process of running our economy into the ground!! BidenBorderCrisis BidenRemorse

ChrisCillizza It's going to drop billions more once he's forced to pay his back taxes and then sit behind bars.

ChrisCillizza Everything ever said about tRump and his alleged monetary largess is a lie. How much he is worth, whether he fleeced Us a while serving time in the Oval or not. Why? Because the source is always what tRump says. Which is a lie, until proven otherwise. Let's see the tax returns!

ChrisCillizza In their haste to attack Trump, CNN didn't realize that they admitted in fact that they have been lying how Trump benefitted financially while in office. Will they admit that they lied? Of course not,in fact they will double down with their lies.

ChrisCillizza doubtful. do you know how many slimy deals he made that are not recorded. saudi arabia comes to mind. wheres the inaugural money that disappeared? trust me as the president he made tons we dont know about

ChrisCillizza Very honest!

ChrisCillizza BS

ChrisCillizza GOOD! POS crook

ChrisCillizza Boo hoo

ChrisCillizza Quick everyone, retweet this to the whole world!!! Not because it’s necessary information but because it will profoundly piss him off!!!!

ChrisCillizza doo yáʼátʼéeh da moron

ChrisCillizza Please CNN. I beg you. losetrump loseChrisCillizza

ChrisCillizza Hey CNN, I’m more interested in how Biden is going to fix the crisis on the southern border and the mess he caused. Who cares about how much money Trump lost.

ChrisCillizza Funny how that’s supposed to be the case.....now let’s look at how much the Obamas and Bite Me’s I mean Biden’s are worth

ChrisCillizza Politicians are the richest People on Earth but yet you will never find them on Forbes list, I hope you all know why?

ChrisCillizza 🤧

ChrisCillizza Are we going to pretend that he doesn't have billions in foreign bank accounts? Kickbacks and payoffs? Ok.

ChrisCillizza Yet he us still begging for money!! King Grifter.

ChrisCillizza Boy he won’t be paying taxes ever

ChrisCillizza Who cares he deserves it plus he an idoit .

ChrisCillizza According to what books the real ones or the fake ones?

ChrisCillizza Kind of defeats the narrative that he used to office to enrich himself.

ChrisCillizza This is what you expect from a President not lining his own pocket's..!!

ChrisCillizza Chicken feed

ChrisCillizza Look at his debt. He’s not a billionaire and never has been.

ChrisCillizza Unlike other presidents that have gotten way richer while in office.

ChrisCillizza There’s always a price, in this case literally.

ChrisCillizza Thank you REAL President Donald Trump. He sacrificed everything to make America great. Is Biden taking a salary

ChrisCillizza He donated his entire salary, & was unable to run his private business while serving as President. Those were his choices, & that contributed to his financial loss over the past 4 years. Another headline grabbing pundit story from

ChrisCillizza Billionaire who became a public servant vs. public servants who became millionaires and billionaires. The left is so backwards it’s shocking.

ChrisCillizza We don't know for sure he lost money. We still haven't seen his tax returns. He OVERCHARGED Secret Service every time he went to Mar a Lago. His kids must have done a pretty bad job managing his business if he 'claims' he lost that much. I don't buy it,

ChrisCillizza The opposite of every other president

ChrisCillizza Because we tried to tell you, TRUMP IS LIKE NO OTHER.

ChrisCillizza This is a buffoon who bankrupted a casino! A casino! The only thing besides the federal government that can print money on a whim and he found a way to bankrupt one!

ChrisCillizza His financial path went the same direction as this country. To the toilet Merica

ChrisCillizza Still got that tds I see . You know he’s not the president anymore right ?

ChrisCillizza How much of his loss was in rubles?

ChrisCillizza 💲👎💲👎💲👎💲👎💲👎

ChrisCillizza “ many, many less dollars..”

ChrisCillizza You’ve got some really classy people commenting

ChrisCillizza Cue the RWNJ saying, “See! He sacrificed himself for America!” As opposed to his shitty policies, lies, and that little insurrection damaging his brand.

ChrisCillizza Todo lo contrario del 'Gran Patriota',.Alvaro Uribe y su familia.Entraron pobres a la Presidencia y salieron multimillonarios.él y sobre todo su Familia.

ChrisCillizza I thought he was using the office to enrich himself

ChrisCillizza before or after all his scams and property fraud

ChrisCillizza Too bad he did not become sufficiently upset about this after a few weeks to quit the job and go back to, well, whatever he was doing before that.

ChrisCillizza Weird weird obsession you guys have.

ChrisCillizza Lmao dats funny

ChrisCillizza But but but u said that he was enriching himself ha cnn you something else what happened to him pocketing from the White House... but if I remember correctly Obama had 1 million now he is a billionaire so who got rich from being president 🤔

ChrisCillizza Like from federal income? Cause he stole a lot of money...

ChrisCillizza Sort of goes against the narrative that he was using the office to get him and his family rich. He has been all but castigated from society and is still under investigation - including the 4 years he was investigated as president.

Elizabe29599604 ChrisCillizza But I guarantee you he received more $$ than the previous year (taxpayer$ to be exact) at his many numerous properties on security, banquets, cult rallies, on and on and on! The Art of The Grift personified!

ChrisCillizza hmmm I wonder why........ Crazy how all dems income raises after they’re out of office.... coincidence?

ChrisCillizza What a shame. The sound of violin's playing 🎻🎻

ChrisCillizza Наверно.вернул деньги ,те что брал у Путина.

ChrisCillizza I do not believe that for a single second. Forbes is a Republican rag setting up a talking point. Nothing more.

ChrisCillizza True man of service. How did former presidents fare 🤔 think they made a bit more in office MAGA

ChrisCillizza He sacrificed alot to help our ailling country. But you bigots will never open your eyes...its sad really

ChrisCillizza strange, right? according to your logic, it should increase!

ChrisCillizza There is no story here, I was talking to a hotel clerk who told me since the pandemic the hospitality buss is off 86 %

ChrisCillizza How the fuck did he manage that when every fucking golf trip EVERY FUCKING WEEKEND WHEN HE PROMISED TO BE WORKING NOT GOLFING was paid for in cash by you poor and middle class Americans (the only American taxpayers because 45 exempted millionaires & corps from tax)? Just asking.

ChrisCillizza Previous presidents went on speaking tours after leaving office, making up to 100M. No one wants to hear him bitch about his personal grievances for an hour straight, so no one will book him.

ChrisCillizza Ok, now go back and work on your companies to return to what they were before you took office. Leave politics behind you.

ChrisCillizza Sounds like John Barron needs to make another call to Forbes to lobby for a better ranking.

ChrisCillizza Sad only $1 billion

ChrisCillizza If you are a billionaire you are a billionaire. This shouldn't even be news.

ChrisCillizza Lol

ChrisCillizza Shoulda hocked more Goya beans. What a wanker

ChrisCillizza Yeah not shit. Because he didn’t profit off the Presidency.

ChrisCillizza Might be the only politician that lost money while in office. Most use their positions to increase their wealth 10 fold

ChrisCillizza CNN: Trump is in office for financial gain. Also CNN: Trump lost $1 Billion while in office.

ChrisCillizza But but but Russia!

ChrisCillizza First you and others like you said him and his brood were killing me, making money off me cause I was a sucker. Now you tell me he lost money. Ok, so when is he going to jail? When is that happening?

ChrisCillizza I hope president Biden comes out making a billion while in office. Get Hunter back with Ukraine

ChrisCillizza Imagine CNN's title if Trump won extra 2 billions between 2016-2020 Any guesses?

ChrisCillizza He undervaluing them properties again?

ChrisCillizza We need to see his taxes

ChrisCillizza CNN... Still obsessed with Trump.

ChrisCillizza But wasnt his businesses ran by someone else during his presidency.

ChrisCillizza so for four years you lied to us and said he was 'using his power to get rich' and turns out this is also a lie like everything else you tweet journalism dies just a bit more Joe got that China $ Hunters Laptop Joe's cages for kids? why not report news?

ChrisCillizza The only News that people care about. Trump news.

ChrisCillizza I guess he got tired of Winning?

ChrisCillizza He always was a loser

ChrisCillizza He was never that rich....it is all a Ponzi scheme

ChrisCillizza HolyMidweekWord

ChrisCillizza He's really good at failing in business.

ChrisCillizza Stop covering him. It’s all fake and laundering for the Russian mob.

ChrisCillizza Wow! Most politicians get into office and then get rich... thank you trump!!

ChrisCillizza Still you are talking about him he is a nightmare to alot of people please ..

ChrisCillizza Lmfao it's all lies so how would anyone know?

ChrisCillizza So he didn’t take office to enrich himself. That was just another lie told for years
