I know you’re gonna find this hard to believe.  I mean, a man in Donald Trump’s administration who lies about how much money he has?  Really?  Who would believe that?  But, it happened.  It really did.

Wilbur Ross ain’t worth 3 billion dollars.  I mean, we already know he ain’t worth dog crap, but he also lies about his money.

Forbes Magazine discovered this when he lied to them – and everyone who would listen – about his net worth.  It wasn’t hard to discover his lie.  It required a pencil, a paper napkin, and extensive knowledge of addition and subtraction.

Forbes says they noticed something amiss when Ross filed his required financial discloser forms after Trump nominated him to be Secretary of Commerce.

In all, the forms showed he had assets with a net worth of just $700 million, which was far below the $3.7 billion he had claimed to be worth, and below the $2.9 billion that Forbes had believed he was worth.

He told people that he had transferred $2 billion to his children before he accepted Trump’s offer.  He didn’t.  He lied.

Sound familiar?

Wilbur has also taken a starring role in the Paradise Papers.  There’s no Russians here.  No, sireeee.  Not a Russians anywhere to be found.  And even if a Russian is involved, nothing improper happened.  Just keep saying it over and over and over and damn.
