How about this: Remmber when Trump proposed taxing himself to pay the Debt?
This is clearly a man which a screw loose.
http://www.taxprophet.com/archives/faq/991128.htm
Billionaire Donald Trump, a prospective Reform Party candidate, has
dropped a political bomb on his fellow tycoons: He plans to tax their
accumulated wealth and pay off the National Debt in a single year!
Trump has called for a one-time 14.25 percent tax on the net worth of
individuals and trusts worth $10 million or more. Trump says this would
generate $5.7 trillion in new taxes which would then be used to
eliminate the National Debt. The savings in annual interest payments,
which Trump estimates at $200 billion, would be used to ensure the
solvency of the Social Security system.
Trump’s proposal is intriguing he would also eliminate estate taxes for
everyone. Currently, estates greater than $650,000 are subject to estate
tax, based on a person’s wealth at death. In other words, the
super-wealthy would trade an up-front tax of 14.25 percent for
elimination of the 55% estate tax. Trump, who puts his net worth at
approximately $5 billion, would pay about $712 million under his plan.
Trump is tapping into the populist notion that the wealthy are
disproportionately benefiting from our booming economy while most others
are sidelined. In fact, recent reports state the wealthiest 20% of
Americans now control 84% of the wealth. Put another way, the wealth of
the bottom 80% has dwindled to 16%.

this was 1997. Yah see, we don't need know idiots from CNN to remind us
who Trump is. We've been watching him for decades.
