That time Trump pretended to be 'John Barron' to lie his way onto the Forbes list of richest Americans, as told by an ex-Forbes writer.
President Donald Trump lied his way onto the Forbes list of richest Americans and used a fake persona to do so, according to a former writer for the magazine.
Trump's persistence in trying to convince journalists how rich he is has been well documented over the years, but Greenberg's piece takes it a step further. He asserts that Trump used a fake voice and pseudonym of"John Barron" to convince the magazine that he should be on the Forbes 400 list. In addition to Trump, several of his confidants also called the magazine to convince it that he belonged on the list.
