    He doesn’t though. He talks a big game about how rich he is, but it’s all talk - he is leveraged up to his eyeballs, his businesses hemorrhage money, and sooner or later someone is going to start calling in those debts and the whole thing will unravel - this is what the NYC fraud case is about; he lied about his finances to get loans that he wouldn’t have been able to get if people had known how little money he actually has

      Sure, but even now people are still giving him money. He’s not exactly struggling.

          I didn’t realise Trump was so poor that he was living out of a box.

              You do realise “living out of a box” is a general term for being destitute? I’m not just talking about his homes (plural), his standard of living is still well and above everyone else.

              Sure, he’s not as wealthy as he made out, we all know this. But he lives better than most Americans.

                  A negative vote score is no excuse for you being patronising towards me. I haven’t been rude here, you have, multiple times.

                  I made a statement of fact: Trump is not struggling financially. He’s not getting the huge loans he conned his way into before, but he’s still getting money and living a lavish life that most people could only dream of. A $400k fee isn’t going to change that - if he even pays it, I expect he’ll try and weasel out until he’s taken to court again for non-payment.

                  Rich people being in debt isn’t the same as you or I being in debt. Living off the credit is what they all do.
