How?  His tax return is about last years’ income.  That won’t tell us his net worth, doesn’t tell us what he is holding that doesn’t go on tax returns such as assets that are not being sold, or hard assets such as gold holdings.  If Trump’s income is from gambling, that would be variable; we still wouldn’t know what his net worth might be.  Good chance Trump didn’t sell much of anything last year, for he was thinking about politics rather than business.  That tax return will not tell us any of that.
