Trump Admits to Sometimes Mixing Up Billions and Millions

During the presidential campaign, many observers suggested that Donald Trump greatly exaggerated his personal wealth.  On the heels of his blockbuster budget proposal, Trump admitted to Fox News’s Sean Hannity that he often mixes up billions, with a ‘b,’ and millions.  “Hey, when you’re as rich as me, I mean millions? billions?  Who knows. That’s why we pay the accountants.”  Still, Trump was disconcerted when following news reports on his own budget.  “I kept asking myself, did I mean to cut that much?  Let’s face it, this budget really screws a few agencies.  Maybe I really meant to take $11 million from State?  Oh well, too late now.”
