Man, people should hound Donald Trump for a tax return the second he launches his campaign. He's trying to pull the same poo poo as Romney tried where they have some accountant sign a paper saying, "Yo this guy's stacked I swear. You even seen the building with his name on it?" and pretend it's actually a disclosure.
I really hope that his campaign prompts someone (Gawker? RawStory? Salon?) to do a well-sourced investigation into just how much Trump is worth in proper GAAP accounting terms.

Well, even assuming Trump claiming to be worth $9 billion is laughable puffery, Forbes still says 4.1 billion (It calculated in 2013 to be 3.2 billion, and 2011, near the bottom of the real estate market, to be 2.7 billion) . Celebritynetworth guesses 4 billion. Could there be any possibility he isn't a billionaire?

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

It doesn't really matter whether Trump is technically a billionaire or not since he lives the life of one either way.

I'm pretty absolutely sure that fundraising for your political campaign, as misguided and futile as it may be, is a big no-no.

I am hoping that this warning, coupled with redacting the links to the fundraising page, will suffice.

Please don't prove to me that hope is a mistake. :redhammer:

In future I would strongly suggest that you run this kind of cockamamie scheme by the mods before posting.

It's not his PAC. It's Lawrence Lessig's PAC, and Lawrence Lessig was dumb enough to hire him. Without Lawrence Lessig's name that PAC would be even more of a nothing than it is right now.

Yea true, still crazy that anyone at all in the mainstream gives them attention, the idea of 'getting money out of politics' by giving a dude a poo poo ton of money is maybe one of the most obvious scams ever but hey we got a respectable name behind it.

SedanChair is sometimes obnoxious, but every once in a while he does something incredibly valuable to the human race.

Such as, for example, discovering enough of Brian Boyko's regrettable internet history to get the ball rolling.

Personally, I'd probably have gone with the toddler-punching bit, but maybe it's not pithy enough.
