Donald Trump has money, and he doesn't want anyone to forget it.
On Tuesday, the presumptive Republican nominee sent out a press release announcing he filed his personal financial disclosure form with the Federal Election Commission on Monday, his second filing since he declared he was running for president last June. "I filed my PFD, which I am proud to say is the largest in the history of the FEC," he said. "Despite the fact that I am allowed extensions, I have again filed my report, which is 104 pages, on time." Trump then got in a dig against Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, saying Sanders "has requested, on the other hand, an extension for his small report. This is the difference between a businessman and the all talk, no action politicians that have failed the American people for far too long."
Trump's form shows a "tremendous cash flow," the statement says, and a revenue increase of about $190 million. His income was reported as being in excess of $557 million, the statement continues, an increase from last year, and "as of this date, Mr. Trump's net worth is in excess of $10 billion dollars."
