If someone constantly tells you how smart, rich, sharp minded he is, but no one else does, wouldn't you look for evidence that supports that? Just bluff, BS or fact?

But if your neighbour drives a flashy car and lives in a big house, maybe he is hocked up to his eyeballs to pay for it all? Ask to see his bank balance instead of what he possesses.

Same with Trump, lots of buildings with his name on them, but what is his bank balance? What are his income/expenditure details like? Tax returns would be very revealing!
