Trump could always insist of his fortune his north of $10 billion, but still would be a dwarf before Bloomberg, who is worth more than $47 billion, according to Forbes magazine while Trump is listed at $4.5 billion. Trump insists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Bloomberg said \u201c<strong>Trump says he wants to run the nation like he\u2019s run his business.
