Tarlovonomics

Jessica Tarlov’s recent claim that “40% of Donald Trump’s wealth has been accumulated while he was President” is such a jaw-dropping whopper, it deserves to be bronzed and displayed in the Museum of Media Malpractice. Not only is it wildly false, but it ignores the actual trajectory of Trump’s financial picture, which was a slow, painful slide downward through 2024.

Let’s set the record straight.

In 2016, Forbes pegged Donald Trump’s net worth at approximately $3.7 billion. By 2024, it had dropped to around $2.3 billion. That’s not an increase, that’s a contraction—a nearly 40% loss in value over eight years. And here’s the kicker: most of that decline happened *after* he left office. His brand was relentlessly targeted. His companies were cut off by woke banks. His properties were devalued in markets where liberal leadership torched city infrastructure. And media outlets like the one Jessica Tarlov works for cheered it all on.

So, where exactly did this mythical “40% increase” Tarlov is hallucinating come from?

Certainly not from facts.

I've commented/posted several times to Fox that they need to dump this dumb wench and hire Harold Ford, Jr. permanently on "The Five"

Scratching a sea shell on a chalkboard is more pleasurable than listening to this half wit.

Agreed.  Here is another thing, looks like they are having trouble finding a replacement for the Judge.  So far I have been unimpressed by the fill-ins.

Agree.  Just give the seat to Emily Campagno,  just for scenery sake.

And the second seat to HFJ, who might be the nicest and most reasonable, likable liberal dim on the planet.
