Donald Trump suggested last night that he has $400 million in debt. He does not. He owes more than $1 billion. We have the documents, and you can see them here.

(77,854 posts)It said that Trump owes money to Russia (Deutsche Bank), China, and Saudi Arabia
and Trump has been using the Presidency to try to pay off those debts.

(9,958 posts)hundreds of millions of dollars, you own THEM, as much as they own you. They can't beat it out of him. All trump has to do is declare bankruptcy again, and poof! There goes their money altogether.

(53,394 posts)He owes money to Russian organized crime syndicates. Probably also to American ones. You do NOT stiff the Mafia. They will kill you.

(53,394 posts)...about the banks not being able to beat their money out of Trump.
The Mob isnt so constrained. I figure if Trump is defeated hell be killed before the end of the week, his whole family will be killed in front of him, and no one will ever find the bodies.
To me thats not a problem, but it may be to Trump.

(19,264 posts)So he could declare the company bankrupt and leave creditors with nothing. The problem is his credit rating has become such shit that he had to personally guarantee more recent loans. It isn't Trump's companies which owe $1B+ it is Trump who personally owes $1B+.
There is no bankruptcy process where if Donald declares bankruptcy say having $300M in assets and $1B in debts that the debts just magically go away and he walks away with the $300M. We are talking liquidation. Like the judge would appoint a trustee and that trustee would sell off his properties to raise funds to repay creditors. The creditors will never get the full amount because he is insolvent (more debts than assets) but they will take their pound of flesh.
That is the scenario Trump has been desperate to avoid. If he could have just declared BK and magiced all his debts away without losing anything he would have done that in 2016.

(77,271 posts)...$6.5 billion in debt. At least! Might be over $7 billion.
And asset value has been adjusted down twice. He's not a billionaire. He might be totally underwater.

ScratchCat
(2,753 posts)Its almost certain that once he is out of office, he will blurt out on Twitter - at minimum - something that is classified. Obviously, as you point out, he could sell off State secrets to the highest bidder as well. I've tried to explain this to my Republican friends and you just can't get through to them completely. Its always this "deer in the headlights" look you get when you explain simple things that they would be starting a civil war over if this guy had a (D) next to his name.

The Russian people are laughing at how easily Putin played Trump and the Republican Senators to bring down the U.S.

(51 posts)Heck, why the hell do they even lend to him at this point, with his record of never repaying?
To be honest, the lenders seem even more irresponsible than Trump himself does.
Tyfairbanks600
(51 posts)To be honest, I dont think that most people would act that much differently than Trump if they got billion dollar loans that they would never have to repay, unless they felt like it.
However, most people would never get such ridiculous loans.
The main thing I want to know here is why the hell Trump keeps getting these loans.
Dirty Socialist
(3,252 posts)If and when he goes bankrupt again, he gets to keep his assets.
Florida politics is a shitshow.
Tyfairbanks600
(51 posts)He should have gone bankrupt in the early 90s, but somehow he negotiated his $900 million debt down to $150 million. And I doubt he even ended up paying that much.
To the extent Trump has business ability, its his ability to keep getting ridiculous loans, and never having to pay them back.
