They accuse Trump of lying about his wealth

Before becoming president of the United States, Donald Trump cheated a journalist from Forbes magazine about the personal wealth that he accumulated in the 1980s, with the aim of being included in the list of the top 400 millionaires that makes the publication, according to a new accusation made by the reporter.

What the journalist, Jonathan Greenberg, detailed on Friday in the CNN show "New Day" is very similar to other stories about Trump posing as the (false) executive of the Trump Organization John Barron and boasting of his exploits with the money and women.

Greenberg argued that Trump, supposedly Barron, managed to make a fortune of approximately $ 5 million seem to be $ 100 million to enter the Forbes list.

The current rankings of the magazine place Trump in the position 248 of the 400 richest people in the US. and ranked 766 on its list of billionaires in the world. In addition, it sets the value of its wealth at 3,100 million dollars, a significant decrease compared to the 3,700 million reported in 2016.

The detailed veracity of Greenberg's accusations - even if backed by a newly discovered audio recording - will have to be checked. But, it is particularly true that we do not know as much about the president's finances as one might think.

CNN contacted the White House to comment on this. The Washington Post reported that the White House refused to make statements and that the Trump Organization did not respond to the newspaper's requests.
