Donald Trump revealed on Friday that he has nearly 400 business entities registered in the state of Delaware, a state that has received renewed scrutiny in the wake of the Panama Papers leak as a domestic tax haven.
During a campaign rally in Harrington, Delaware, the GOP presidential front-runner said he asked his staff to tell him how many businesses he has registered in the state.
“I figured they’d maybe say two or three, right?” he said.
“We have 378 entities registered in the state of Delaware, meaning I pay you a lot of money folks. I don’t feel at all guilty, OK?”
He added that the figure “might be off by a couple” since his aides come up with it on short notice.
“But you now what it is? It’s a lot.”
