Gayle King Flat-Out Asks Maggie Haberman ‘Do You Have Any Idea How Much Trump’s Really Worth?’

 

CNN host Gayle King straightup asked New York Times correspondent and CNN analyst Maggie Haberman “do you have any idea what [former President Donald Trump] is really worth?”

On this week’s edition of CNN’s King Charles, co-hosts Gayle King and Charles Barkley asked Haberman for her insights on Trump, beginning with his comments at a campaign rally Tuesday.

But King turned the subject to something Haberman has reported extensively is a sensitive subject for Trump — his real financial worth:

KING: What we always hear about Donald Trump is that he really cares about his money and his finances and they seem to be in jeopardy.

Do you have any idea how much he’s really worth? You know at first it was, you know a billionaire and now the numbers always change. We never ever did see his tax returns ever.

HABERMAN: No, we did not and he broke —

KING: First time that has happened.

HABERMAN: In decades, yes. And he broke precedent with that. Look, I — we have no idea how much actual cash he has on hand. We know what some of his assets are and so on paper with those assets. He is a billionaire, but again, he claimed to have a certain amount of cash. There was no way to verify that.

He appears to be likely to get an infusion from this social media deal for Truth Social that he has but the stock has been bouncing around a lot. That’s right. And so, I have no idea what he’s actually worse than — I don’t know that we will ever —

KING: Do you think it matters?

HABERMAN: Well, I think it matters to him. Yeah, and does it matter in terms of the minds of voters? Look, for people who don’t like him, it matters. And for people who do like him, they already believe what he’s been saying for decades.

So, I don’t know how much the actual fact would make a difference at this point. I do know it matters to him because he spent years trying to get on, you know, wealthiest person’s list and talking about his net worth and inflating it in conversation. So, it’s obvious. It’s a big statistic to him.
