Cash is cash. That is saying, he might not really own all that he says he does.
This is how it works. Build a hotel and the lease goes to the bank so they can loan you more money to build another one, then you have two hotels deeds to give to the bank, to build more hotels. And so on. The profits come from running the hotels, which pays wages and the rest goes into Trumps Bank account.
Screw up and you're in trouble, butt the hotel has the deeds, can repossess at anytime so it can extend the loan. All it wants is the interest paid and more deeds than it owes.
So Trump may not be worth what he says he is.
The other part that was interesting $165 million isn't nearly enough to buy the Presidency.
How much does it cost to buy a seat in the Senate?
When a country starts selling power that openly, it's pretty much fucked. Because it's not votes that count, it's billions of dollars.
