1. There's an interesting divide among Democrats about Trump's wealth: is the problem that he's a fraud (not really rich as he says) or a rich crook (rich because he gamed the system & continues to do so as president).

3. If Bloomberg is the candidate, he'll be in a good position to lean into the "not a real billionaire" argument. And arguably that's a something that could get into Trump's head. But is that the real problem with Trump?

4. Let's say Trump is only worth $100 million. That's still a lot of money and for most people conceptually indistinguishable from being a billionaire. The real problem with Trump, from a Warren/Sanders point of view, is not that he's fake rich but that he's corruptly rich.

I don't think that Democrats really are bothered in a sincere way about Trump lying about his wealth-it's seen as an ego-deflating pot-shot and maybe as just an facet of his larger fraudulence and self-aggrandizement.

You know you can still be inanely wealthy without being a billionaire...right?
