Donald Trump Announces He's the Richest Candidate to Ever Run for President and Owns a Gucci and Makes Romney Look Like a Streetwhore at a Methadone Clinic

Classy.

"So, ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for president of the United States, and we are going to make our country great again," Trump told the crowd, in a lengthy and meandering speech that hit on his signature issues like currency manipulation from China and job creation, as well as taking shots at the President and his 2016 competitors.

"Sadly the American dream is dead," Trump said at the end of his speech, promising to bring it back to life with his run.

The 68-story tower venue Trump used Tuesday is more than just the backdrop to Trump's presidential announcement, instead becoming a physical embodiment of what Trump is bringing to the table and the challenges he'll face as he formally entered politics.

[Trump] flaunted his wealth and success in business as a centerpiece of his presidential platform in his speech. And on Tuesday he disclosed his financial assets, trumpeting a whopping $9 billion net worth. Trump's net worth was previously estimated at roughly $4 billion.

Comic John Mulaney has one of the funniest takes on Trump, describing him as what a hobo imagines a rich man to be. Except real.
