Donald Trump is no longer wealthy enough to be included in the Forbes 400, so they yanked him from the list, and the former President isn't taking it well. After all, the appearance of being rich is everything to him. Don't believe me? Look at the gold walls and furniture in his tacky Trump Tower apartment. Trump took to his flailing Truth Social platform to express his outrage, and he's all over the map.

'China owned (China Investment Corp, the Country's Sovereign wealth Fund!), and very badly failing, Forbes "Magazine," which lost most of its relevance long ago, and which knows less about me than Stormy Daniels (who doesn't know me at all!) or Rosie O'Donnell, took me off their Fake Forbes 400 list, just by a "whisker," even though they know that I should be high up on that now very dated and discredited "antique."' he said.

"They are working with the Racist and highly incompetent, job killing Attorney General of New York, Letitia "Peekaboo" James, who has allowed Murder and Violent Crime in the State to hit epidemic levels." he continued. "China owned Forbes is a participant in the Election Interference Scam, and after what I have done to China, with hundreds of billions of dollars being paid to the USA, who can blame them?"

"For years Forbes has attacked me with really dumb writers assigned to hit me hard, and I am now up 60 Points on the Republicans, and beating Crooked Joe by a lot," he added. "So much for Forbes!"

Trump said he missed the list by a whisker, but that "whisker" amounts to $300 million. Dan Alexander at Forbes notes that the four times indicted former President's net worth is down more than $600 million from a year ago.

Alexander writes that the "biggest reason" is Truth Social.

Trump once envisioned a significant percentage of the country logging onto the platform. But that never happened. Roughly 6.5 million have signed up so far, about 1% of the total on X (né Twitter). Trump's 90% stake in Truth Social's parent company has plummeted in value from an estimated $730 million to less than $100 million.

Everything Trump touches dies.
