Jonathan Greenberg: “In May 1984, an official from the Trump Organization called to tell me how rich Donald J. Trump was. I was reporting for the Forbes 400, the magazine’s annual ranking of America’s richest people, for the third year. In the previous edition, we’d valued Trump’s holdings at $200 million, only one-fifth of what he claimed to own in our interviews. This time, his aide urged me on the phone, I needed to understand just how loaded Trump really was.” “The official was John Barron — a name we now know as an alter ego of Trump himself. When I recently rediscovered and listened, for first time since that year, to the tapes I made of this and other phone calls, I was amazed that I didn’t see through the ruse: Although Trump altered some cadences and affected a slightly stronger New York accent, it was clearly him.”
The name Barron is quite strange, he said he used the name because he adored Barron Hilton. In 1985 "bought Hilton's nearly completed casino in the marina district for $320 million, calling it Trump Castle." https://edition.cnn.com/2018/04/20/politics/trump-forbes-400-list-cnntv/index.html Updated estimate under $5million. "He is a consummate conman". He had Roy Cohn call to lobby for him.

So what was the real secret of Donald's success? You don't have to be smart to survive, just the outlier mutant. If you get to 100,000 times? Millions? of the antibiotic strength.. you have the DJT strain. But he survives for him, not for bluecollar workers.
