@snorks nytimes values Trump's assets at 1.3b, meaning, his debts knock him pit of the b. club  I dont know who to believe, but am safe in the knowledge that any figure Trump thinks will be publicised, he will inflate.

@guest2 You keep making points based on small technicalities. Trumps campaign team and family had proven, criminal contact with Russia. These represented collusion. It justified investigation. It justified indictments, which unfortunately, were not forthcoming. 

@anonymous Well put.

@mamamia-user-482898552 I have been soundly put in my place. I thought Fairfax was a reliable rag.

@cat I think that the Medicare numbers might create a risk of identity theft/fraud.
