Trump Goes Completely Bonkers After Forbes Removes Him From Wealthiest Americans List

Forbes recently removed Donald Trump from their list of wealthiest Americans, largely due to his failing Truth Social platform, and the former President is not happy at all about this decision. It took him a while to come up with the words to attack the outlet, but he finally released a statement attacking them for not including him on the list. He claims that Forbes is the one who is failing, while also saying that they are way off about his net worth - something that prosecutors in New York have done a great job of exposing for the public to see. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

So obviously I was out all last week. Um, I, I, I ran the q and a videos and I hope everybody liked that. Traffic looked pretty good on everything, but obviously being out for a week, I, I missed some pretty big news. Um, and here's one story may not be the biggest thing that happened in the last week, but it sure as hell is something that I absolutely wanted to talk about. Now, before I get into this one, let me preface this. Two weeks ago, you know, before I had left for my conference, uh, Forbes came out with their annual list of the wealthiest Americans, and notably absent from that list for the first time in decades was Mr. Donald J. Trump, former president of the United States. And being left off that list was, was hurtful to Donald Trump. Being on the Forbes wealthiest Americans list is something that Donald Trump brags about each and every single year.

I mean, it's, it's something he talks about it, it's something that he's actually sued people, by the way, for saying he has less money than he claims to have. So not being on that list was a big blow to Donald Trump's ego. And it took him a while. Like he did not immediately come out with his statement attacking Forbes, predictably for keeping him off the list. It actually took him about a week before he finally mustered up that courage to go out there and go totally berserk against Forbes. In a post on truth social last week, Donald Trump said that Forbes is quote, very badly failing and lost most of its relevance long ago, lost most of its relevance long ago, says the man who routinely brags about being on that list. Also, as far as I have seen, there's absolutely no evidence to suggest that Forbes is quote, very badly failing, but they hurt Donald Trump's feelings very badly. So he has to try to come out and hurt the feelings of a magazine. He then said, this Forbes took me off their fake Forbes 400 lists just by a whisker, even though they know that I should be high up on that. Now, very dated and discredited antique. For years, Forbes has attacked me with really dumb writers assigned to hit me hard, and I am now up 60 points on the Republicans and beating crooked Joe by a lot. So much for Forbes.

Okay, I don't know what that last part has to do with Forbes. Like, oh, you say I'm not worth that much money, but if I'm not worth that much money, how am I beating these Republicans and crooked Joe? Hmm. Explain that. No, you explain why that's relevant. And let's also not forget that's not true.

You're not beating the other Republicans by 60 points. You're beating them by 42 points. Yes, you're beating them by a lot, but let's not exaggerate something that doesn't need to be exaggerated. As for you beating Crooked Joe, that was literally in one poll that at this point is now very clearly an outlier, right? That Washington Post a b c news poll Trump's leading by 10 points hasn't been replicated, which means it was an outlier. It's also been revealed since that poll came out that the poll Oversampled Republicans, by get this 10%, 60% of respondents were Republicans. So if you're Oversampling Republicans, uh, by, by a vast majority of the total respondents, and you still only beat 'em by 10 points, that means in a real poll, you're probably still losing by anywhere from five to 10 points. So just f y i, that's how things work folks, uh, based on my, you know, training in conducting political polls.

So there's that. So you're not even doing that, but let's get back to the heart of the matter. You're not on the list and you're like, I don't even care. It's an antique. And I only lost by a whisper whisker not whisper, whisker. 'cause yes, it was $300 million of net worth that Trump, uh, missed the mark by. Do you know where it came from? Here's what's interesting. Forbes did not demote him off of the list because of what's been revealed in the New York fraud trial. Like that's not what happened.
