    Wealth isn’t the same as money in bank. Most of Trump’s wealth is tied into properties. You can’t pay for groceries with a skyscraper. That’s why many wealthy people borrow money for everyday spending rather that liquidate (sell) their assets. This applies to pretty much every wealthy person. When someone is a billionaire it doesn’t mean they’re hoarding billions of cash in bank.
