Donald Trump Claims He Has $500 Million in Cash

Despite assertions from his legal team that he's unable to gather the required funds, Donald Trump insists he has nearly $500 million in cash, contradicting his attorneys' statements in a New York court, according to the Independent.

Trump has repeatedly touted his wealth, claiming he is worth several billions of dollars. Much of that value stems from assets tied to the Trump Organization and his real estate holdings. 

However, as the deadline looms, he took to his Truth Social platform to assert that he has amassed nearly $500 million through what he described as a combination of "hard work, talent, and luck." He noted that this "substantial amount" was intended for his presidential campaign.
