    They'd also reveal that although he's really rich, he's not as massively rich as he wants you to think. So he won't release them.

    I suspect that is exactly the case.

    I have no idea. Why do you ask?

    His tax returns go to his legitimacy as a business man. How much does he make? I am certain that after his bankruptcies none of his residences are owned by anything other than trusts or limited liability partnerships. I'm sure he is personally not very liquid or worth 1/10th what he says. If you add up all the assets he's involved with, yes it's billions, but he' s not an owner, he's public face. The Trump Resort in Hawaii is a very expensive asset, worth a ton of money. Is he anything besides a licesee with a percentage for royalties. Without ownership or decision making? Every penny he spends is a business deduction, as maintaining Donald Trump is the business of Trump

    My guess is his major portion of income is derived (was) from his game show and distributions from partnerships.

    Don't have time to look up the numbers. Everyone who speaks highly of Sweden's educational system and free college also ignore the fact that a good portion of students are moved into the vocational track during secondary school. Sweden isn't handing out university admissions places to those with bad grades, and can't read or write at a high school level.

    That doesn't seem fair.

    True. If you have a 2.1 GPA in Sweden, you're going to be a tradesman.

    In America, you'll be Little Marco.

    How bad do you have to do to become a journalist?

    "Little Marco" is absolutely the best nickname in political history. Spouted spontaneously during a presidential debate by the front-runner. So awesome.

    A little better than communication students.

    Based on what I've read, completion of a vocational track qualifies you for admission into a university. So it doesn't slough you off to the side.

    Also, a higher percentage of Swedes ages 25-34 have a college degree than the same cohort in the US.
