Trump has also downplayed his wealth.

"The president also insisted that he has lost anywhere between $3 and $5 billion by becoming president" https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-make-money-2020-summit-hosted-miami-resort/story?id=65197278 Keith McClary ( talk) 15:15, 31 August 2019 (UTC) reply

Mazars and Coronavirus

There should be a link to the Mazars article where it is mentioned and there should be a section talking how the Coronavirus pandemic has affected his wealth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.49.9.255 ( talk) 05:10, 7 May 2020 (UTC) reply

remove "and no obvious way to repay them."

Not only is this connected to a conspiracy theory it's also purely editorializing on top of being idiotic. Anyone with billions has many ways to pay off loans for millions. 2600:6C44:701B:200:204A:9858:EA3E:5B1D ( talk) 18:57, 29 September 2020 (UTC) reply

Assuming Trump actually possesses that much wealth (which can only be estimated), payment of loans generally requires liquid capital, i.e. cash, not just fixed assets. The statement is cited to a reliable source; there's no obvious reason to remove it. -- Sangdeboeuf ( talk) 11:13, 3 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Reads like a hit piece

The tone of this article is ultra negative in general, I think the information present could be displayed in a much more factual tone, and have less “failed businessman” statements. 69.121.1.205 ( talk) 14:17, 13 May 2022 (UTC) reply

A large amount of reliable sources refer to him as a failed businessman. Neutrality is reporting what sources say, good or bad, not omitting it for the sake of peoples feelings. Would you rather it be a lie and say that he is a successful businessman? PRAXIDICAE💕 14:25, 13 May 2022 (UTC) reply
it said he inherited less than 500 million dollars from his father, yet he is a billionaire now. I guess that's a failed businessman? 108.17.84.45 ( talk) 03:21, 8 September 2023 (UTC). Basically, the take home of this article is "Trump is quite rich, but dis but Dat." reply
Heh? He's a billionare. 67.175.162.219 ( talk) 20:53, 29 March 2024 (UTC) reply


And many conservative sources refer to him as a successful businessman. How about we lose the partisan language and deal with the facts rather than conjecture. You know, facts instead of feelings. Mecurian ( talk) 14:31, 20 September 2022 (UTC) reply

This article doesn't currently contain the words "fail" or "succeed" in the sense of judging Trump's businesses, except for one quote from the Washington Post, which wrote in 2016 that Trump has both "business failures, and real success." That seems a both-sides statement.
"Failed businessman" is not a term that appears in this article. If there is specific language that you are concerned about, please flag it and suggest what it should be changed to. Tuckerlieberman ( talk) 13:30, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply
ABSOLUTELY. I thought Wikipedia was supposed to be “OBJECTIVE?” How do you get off saying “With Trump making much higher claims?” That’s your liberal dumbacrook OPINION. I don’t care about your highly delusional opinion. It’s the job of the banking appraisers, Realtors etc to estimate property worth, not the property owner. That being said, if the bank gives the loan, the appraiser appraises and the buyer is “Ready & Willing” then nobody has done a darn thing wrong. Please for the good of all the read Wikipedia, don’t ruin a great business that YOUR BOSS conjured up by adding your subjective ill described OPINION , either that Or go work for CNN. Trump is by FAR the BEST PRESIDENT this country has EVER SEEN. That is my opinion & I can say that because I don’t WORK for someone that OWNS this great business. Don’t ruin it for someone else that had a GREAT IDEA for a site AND selflessly CHOSE to go nonprofit which is a Christ like choice. You’re a typical RENTER. Someone that doesn’t respect the SPACE that they’re RENTING for a period of time because it’s SOMEONE ELSES. Show some respect! Jflav1 ( talk) 15:20, 6 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Wow, I just read all the other comments after I posted my comment… PLUS the retort of the “wiki writer”…wow! biased much!?? Would you call Abraham Lincoln a “failed president?” Albert Einstein a “failed scientist?” Michael Jordan a “failed basketball player?” Thomas Edison a “failed scientist/inventor?” Jerry Seinfeld a “failed actor?” Oprah Winfrey a “failed talk show host?” Is Steve Jobs a “failure?” Shall I go on??? Hopefully you shall go on to do better things because you should ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY chalk this article up to a COMPLETE & UTTER FAILURE.
Have you never heard the phrase that “Failure often precedes success???”
To call someone, a human being, which I think people often forget that Donald J Trump is, a failure, is just pure ignorance, wrong, lacking of empathy and compassion, jealously and delusion. Jflav1 ( talk) 15:38, 6 November 2023 (UTC) reply
WOW! It gets better and better “Money received through political fundraisers is used to pay for guest stays at properties owned by the Trump Organization and to pay his and his allies' lawyers”… like what do you NOT GET about bias and objectivity???
mom HOPING these are Troll Edits and NOT the subjective views of the Wiki Writer???
PLEASE TELL ME THAT?! Jflav1 ( talk) 15:46, 6 November 2023 (UTC) reply

"...with Trump chronically making much higher claims."

Unbiased source? 47.12.161.150 ( talk) 03:08, 30 June 2022 (UTC) reply

This is substantiated and discussed in the article. For example, the section "Trump on his own net worth" cites seven sources. The lede summarizes what the article says and does not need to repeat all the references. Tuckerlieberman ( talk) 13:23, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Color commentary

> He described both of these amounts as "small" and emphasized that he repaid both loans "with interest." These amounts are indeed small fractions of the entire amount he received from his father. The facts may affect his public image.


The italicized sentence, while true, reads as sarcasm. Would it be appropriate to reword this in a less colorful way? I hesitate to make the change muself given the sensitive nature of the topic. 2603:90D8:C3E:9472:1C13:1E72:2FD1:2592 ( talk) 17:41, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
