Forbes announced last week that Donald Trump and his self-reported net worth of $2.6 billion is about $300 million shy of making the cut for its annual list of wealthiest Americans.
Whomp, whomp.
Who gives AF, right?
Well, one person does. And that’s Donald Trump. He’s pissed. And he’s blaming… Rosie O’Donnell? Sorta? Wait… What?!
OK, let’s back up for a sec…
The one-term, twice-impeached, four-time indicted ex-president saw his net worth plummet over $600 million since last year. This is due to a multitude of reasons, including the mountain of criminal lawsuits (and potential fines and prison time) he’s facing, plus that $250 million civil fraud lawsuit currently underway in New York that could result in him losing all of his properties and having to relocate or even shutter his entire business.
When Forbes released its 2023 Forbes 400 list last week, Trump’s name didn’t make the cut. And he just took to Truth Social to whine about it.
“China owned (China Investment Corp, the Country’s Sovereign wealth Fund!), and very badly failing, Forbes ‘Magazine,’ which lost most of its relevance long ago, and which knows less about me than Stormy Daniels (who doesn’t know me at all!) or Rosie O’Donnell, took me off their Fake Forbes 400 list, just by a ‘whisker,’ even though they know that I should be high up on that now very dated and discredited ‘antique,'” he posted.
To be clear, neither Rosie O’Donnell nor Stormy Daniels have anything to do this. They’re just drinking their water and minding their business. It’s not like either replaced him on the coveted list of billionaires, which, BTW, once again includes gay entertainment mogul David Geffen. (Congrats, David!)
So, we’re not sure why Trump dragged the women into his little temper tantrum. Other than the fact that they’ve both been thorns in the ex-president’s side at some point. Evidently, he still holds a lot of resentment towards them.
Rather than obsessing over not qualifying for the 2023 Forbes 400, Trump’s time would probably be better spent focusing on his mounting legal troubles, which only seem to be getting worse by the day.
During the first week of his civil fraud trial in New York, the court heard devastating testimony from Trump’s ex-accountant Donald Bender and saw the ex-president gag-ordered by Justice Arthur Engoron for attacking a law clerk on social media.
As his trial enters its second week, the court will hear testimony from ex-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg and ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, which will no doubt be damaging.
Speaking of Cohen, he told Newsweek in response to Trump being snubbed by Forbes, “The Forbes 400 list represents much more to Donald than just his net worth. It represents his id, ego and super ego all rolled up into one very insecure man baby.”
And as for Rosie, as Trump is throwing proverbial ketchup over not making enough money to land a spot on a magazine’s list of richest Americans, she been happily shopping at Nordstroms and posting about it on TikTok…
scotty
he has always blamed someone else for his hilarious self-owns. he will never realize he has done all this to himself, and with sycophants eating his digested cheeseburgers for the foreseeable future, he continues to be source of ludicrous entertainment. it might be funnier if it weren’t so pathetic. 14/45
JScott
pathetic and scary.
Herman75
I see a trend, those that make horrible life choices end up blaming everyone else for all the misery.
Baron Wiseman
The ONLY politician to lose money once he/she entered office.
ZzBomb
Soon to be the only former president rightfully incarcerated for being a traitor to the United States.
Baron Wiseman
Who? Joe Biden? That is a possibility with tens of millions in unaccounted money with 20 shell companies on four continents.
Mack
You do buy all the BS you make up or hear on faked news. How pathetic is that. I’m surprised that Trump lost that much money considering how much he’s scammed from the people who stupidly supports him.
ZzBomb
Baron, its astounding how stup1d you must be to think Biden is at all going to jail when Trump has 91 felony indictments handed down by GRAND JURIES OF HIS PEERS.
KyleMichelSullivan
He hasn’t “lost money,” Baron; it’s just the truth coming out about his inflated self-worth. He’s never been a billionaire. It’s all been a shell game. A penthouse “that’s 33,000 square feet in size” that’s really 1/3 of that. Mar-a-Lago being worth hundreds of millions but only valued at $18,000,000 by the tax assessor, someone who would really know. Here a bankruptcy, there a bankruptcy, everywhere a bankruptcy. Refusing to pay bills he owes. Lying on his tax returns. It goes on and on. If he’d had one single solitary brain cell working, he’d never have run for president, because that puts everything under the brightest of spotlights. But stupid is as stupid does, and he proved it.
Joshooeerr
The best part is that he’s protesting that he’s richer than everyone is now saying he is, while simultaneously trying to raise money from his gormless followers to cover his legal expenses and fund his political ambitions. That pretty much says it all.
RIGay
The ONLY positive to come out of this God forsaken war in the Middle East is that this $hitbag has been knocked firmly out of the spotlight of nightly news and we have been spared his soundbites.
quantum
Oh, you missed where he said it wouldn’t have happened if he was president!
Baron Wiseman
@quantum
And he is right about that. Trump is responsible for the Abraham Accords. Now the Middle East is moving in a completely different direction thanks to our current leadership.
God help Taiwan. I hope they aren’t next.
LumpyPillows
Rosie probably has more money than or will have once this is over Trump. Poor clown.
ZzBomb
Has anyone kept track of all the companies he said were “failing” whenever he doesn’t like something they put out yet are still around? This man has a terrible track record on making predictions or hand picking candidates for office to which I am very thankful.
Baron Wiseman
@ZzBomb
Really? Terrible track record?
“What is Trump’s endorsement record?
82 percent: Mr. Trump endorsed more than 250 candidates, and his 82 percent success rate is, on the surface, impressive.” – New York Times
ZzBomb
And yet virtually everyone one of his picks in the midterms failed. – NYT
Baron Wiseman
@ZzBomb
Wrong again.
“In the contests the NBC News Decision Desk is projecting, 195 Trump-backed candidates have won their races, 30 have lost, six are in races not yet called and two are headed to runoffs.” – NBC News 11/15/22
Do you even try?
Mr. Stadnick
Saying trump isn’t rich is the worst thing you could say about him. trump is poor!
myloginname
Boy Rosie really knows how to get under trumps skin, she needs to keep it up!
dbmcvey
She really knows him. She was always the one who knew how to hit him in his ego.
dbmcvey
This sock puppet is trying really hard.
Derek Northcutt
There’s an employe of the Russian Internet Research Agency (Troll Farm) butting into each conversation. Give him 15 kopecks so he’ll shut it.
Jim
Hysterial. He and Elon Musk are only worth something ON PAPER, like the Forbes 300 who actually have wealth from things they own!
Openminded
Make all these people quit deferring their tax liabilities and make them pull out the income tax they owe on these holdings and the numbers will look significantly different. Yes, they will still hold a ton of wealth, but it’ll be about 35% less than it is now. Meanwhile, the rest of us have to basically prepay our taxes thru withholdings from paychecks and don’t get the benefit of investing our tax debt for more profits. Wait until you hit retirement age or have a loved one die with a retirement account and you will see just how much the new SECUREs Act and that IRA DIDN’T do for you. Pay your taxes now while they are lower than they will be when you retire and are forced to withdraw and pay taxes on that money.
cuteguy
Why didn’t Trumpf make billions of the Saudis like his daughter and son-in-law?!! The GQP Faux News don’t report on that but they can’t stop reporting on Hunter Biden. If Hitler were alive today he would be running that propaganda network Faux News.
SUPREME
i wouldn’t complain if we never ever hear anything about this creature again.
Matthewnow
Only on more article I want to see. DONALD TRUMP ARRIVES TO PRISON.
ZzBomb
When are the “moderators” of this sight going to actually do something about right wing trolls????
Baron Wiseman
@ZzBomb
Trolls? That’s rich considering you are the one who just trolled me with a fake reference to the “NYT” with no quotation marks.
Your lack of self-awareness knows no bounds. Do better; I know you can.
Keebler ILF
Not sure why Trump mentioned Stormy Daniels, but according to what I heard on the Stephen Colbert show, Stormy said that she once SPANKED Trump with a FORBES magazine.
Jimmynj
Trump blames everyone else for his failures and shortcomings and not himself. It’s pretty pathetic.
scotty
well stated.
Kangol2
Don the Con is a giant fraud, as New York AG Tish James has repeatedly proved and Judge Arthur Engoron has declared. Rosie O’Donnell didn’t have to lift a finger to harm this moron, he did it to himself. Let’s see if he inflates the size of his prison cell, which is where he and members of his corrupt crime family belong.
