If you want to play that game, then citation needed that he went bankrupt and I only take his tax returns and financial statements.

See how this level of discussion of not just demanding a citation, but then limiting what citations you accept to an extremely small set of documents isn't constructive?

> If you want to play that game, then citation needed that he went bankrupt

It's a reasonable question, but 1 minute googling got this report https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/kendalltaggart/here-are... with 3 of them viz.

    The Trump Taj Mahal Casino

    Trump’s Plaza

    The Trump Castle

Are these at least sufficient to convince you?

You missed the part where I was (sarcastically) demanding the proof in a specific form that I know the reader doesn't have. It is one thing to say [citation needed]. It is quite another to say [citiation needed and by that I mean his tax returns and financial statements].

Here's the original question "The public at large does not know how much Trump is worth because he won't disclose much of anything"

What evidence in your view, other than his his tax returns and financial statements, is there to show his wealth? Because that's fundamentally what's being requested. I don't think those exact documents are needed if there are good alternatives. Suggest some alternatives.

You are quoting only half of the post, particularly the half I wasn't responding to. Try quoting the other half. Also my claim is that he is rich, not some exact measure or level of wealth.

>What evidence in your view, other than his his tax returns and financial statements, is there to show his wealth?

You really think that you need tax returns to prove he is currently wealthy? Is that a consistent standard you apply to everyone? When someone says that Bill Gates is rich, do you request the same level of documentation before you believe it? Are you doubting the relevance of other indicators of wealth such as lifestyle and property holdings?

You're being obtuse. Original comment:

> The public at large does not know how much Trump is worth

So this is about HOW MUCH he is worth. Hence the request for docs quantifying it.

Then I say

> Suggest some alternatives

And you just snowjob with questions in return. I asked a question. Please answer it by stating what publicly available docs will show trump's wealth.

> Are you doubting the relevance of other indicators of wealth such as lifestyle and property holdings?

Irrelevant.

We want to know how much so as to judge his competency at business. Please answer, what public documents will show his wealth.

Also why are you so willing to assume he is a competent businessman without actual, audited financial evidence to back up his claims?
