kpete's JournalTrump Falls Off List of Wealthiest Americans
Donald Trump is no longer on the annual list of Americas 400 wealthiest people mainly due to the languishing commercial real estate industry, Forbes reports.
If Trump is looking for someone to blame, he can start with himself. Five years ago, he had a golden opportunity to diversify his fortune. Fresh off the 2016 election, federal ethics officials were pushing Trump to divest his real estate assets. That would have allowed him to reinvest the proceeds into broad-based index funds and assume office free of conflicts of interest.

BREAKING: Mark Zuckerberg Loses $7 Billion in Net Worth as Facebook Stock Falls
Mark Zuckerbergs personal wealth has fallen by more than $6 billion in a few hours, knocking him down a notch on the list of the worlds richest people, after a whistleblower came forward and outages took Facebook Inc.s flagship products offline.
A selloff sent the social-media giants stock plummeting 4.9% on Monday, adding to a drop of about 15% since mid-September.
The stock slide on Monday sent Zuckerbergs worth down to $121.6 billion, dropping him below Bill Gates to No. 5 on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Hes down from almost $140 billion in a matter of weeks, according to the index.

HAPPENING NOW: At sentencing hearing for Jan. 6 misdemeanor defendant Carl Mazzocco, Judge CHUTKAN sharply rejects comparison between 1/6 rioters and George Floyd protestors.
"I flatly disagree," she said.
"To compare the actions of people protesting, mostly peacefully, for civil rights to those of a violent mob seeking to overthrow the lawfully elected government is a false equivalency," Chutkan said.
Chutkan also references Trump: "He went to the capital in support of one man, not in support of our country. "

Hillary Clinton Warns US AGAIN: "It's like the frog dropped into the water. It's boiling."
Hillary Clinton can draw a straight line from her duels with conservative media and Republican politicians in the 1990s to the January 6 insurrectionand she fears worse is coming. Theres always been a kind of paranoid streak in American politics, the former secretary of state told Atlantic staff writer Jennifer Senior. But it never was given such voice, such a platform, or had so much money behind it until we saw the rise of the right-wing radio voices like Rush Limbaugh and we saw the rise of Fox News. And then, of course, the internet just put it on steroids.
She blames the tech giants for facilitating the rise of conspiracism and Republicans for exploiting fear and suspicion in a quest to permanently seize political power, whether as an obstructionist party in Congress or by undermining and overturning elections. Referencing moves by state legislatures to change election laws and congressional Republicans who objected to the election results earlier this year, Clinton said not enough Americans are taking the danger of a constitutional crisis seriously: Its like the frog dropped into the water. Its boiling. People are still arguing about stuff that is important, but not as fundamental as whether or not our democracy will be broken and then taken over and minority rule will be what we live under.
