“My biggest surprise of the year does involve Donald Trump and it involves his money. And I am one of the prominent disbelievers of his claims of wealth and how rich he was.

“You've got to ask yourself, why won't Donald Trump release his tax returns? I think there may be a couple of reasons. First, maybe he's not as rich as he says he is. Second, maybe he's not as charitable as he claims to be. Third, we don't know all of his business dealings, but we have been told through investigative reporting that he owes about $650 million to Wall Street and foreign banks. Or maybe he doesn't want the American people to know that he's paid nothing in federal taxes.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantFirstsMayHas BeensReasonAsksMillionsRichStreetsWallReturnTrumpCoupleTaxesThirdsClaimsPaidReleaseCharitableDealingsTax ReturnsFederal Taxes Author:Hillary Clinton
“[Donald trump] was steamed about [Hillary] Clinton's suggestion that he might not be as rich as he says.

“So many theories. But all of them have one thing in common: They demonstrate that although Trump isn’t much of a businessman, he is rich enough to hire good tax attorneys who will hand over huge stacks of forms for him to sign blindly.
