29. My bad, it does suggest that, and the OP did nothing wrong by interpreting it as they did :)

However to me it isn't clear whether this is an assertion by Trump's organization, or as a fact independently researched by the author, as the sentence reads: "The loan was due for repayment in early July, and the spokesman for the Trump Organization -- a term used by the president's family to describe its holdings -- said the building was now debt-free"

In fact, I would be entirely unsurprised if the main assertion of the story is BS, given the source: "June 23 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's family business has paid off in full in cash the $160 million loan on its 40 Wall Street office tower in Manhattan, a Trump Organization spokesperson said on Monday,"

I would also be unsurprised if the supposed $100M 'crypto deal' was largely made up, and that the UAE actually now owns a large part of that building, or other things of value to Trump, through some shell company.

Who knows with this pathological liar and conman
