FIFY. It has not been established that Trumpelthinskin is a billionaire himself.

Won't be proven until he releases his taxes.

but a billion in wealth might lead one to expect certain levels of income.

I think the big thing he's hiding is the source of his income/wealth. Supposedly he has been dealing a lot with Russion firms, which could explain his cozyness with Putin. I'm sure his taxes would also shine a light on his holdings, and what he has bought and sold over the last few years, and who he's been dealing with. Any claims of gain or loss he would have to declare on his income tax forms would include details about the transactions.

He certainly acts like he is hiding something.

SOMEBODY is being very, very smart at hitting him in all his vulnerable places, and if they keep up this kind of pressure he's going to blow a gasket.

you kind of just have to have thick skin for the counter-attacks, and Hillary has been practicing dealing with his type for 30 years or so.

After all, his appeal is that he's too rough around the edges to appeal to "the elites," which include billionaires who speak real English and eat with a knife and fork.
