10. Of course Trump has been backballed by US lenders and banks.

Every time a person or business declares bankruptcy, it makes it harder to get lending and investment money for future purchases and ventures.

For those of us who have ever declared bankruptcy, how difficult would it be to get a car or house loan? Quite difficult.

Now, imagine having SIX bankruptcies on your financial history.

If you run a bank or are a rich venture capitalist, how good would you feel about giving $30 to $100 million to a guy that has gone through SIX bankruptcies?

That's why Trump's only source of money for his Miss USA, Miss Universe, and golf courses is to take foreign (ahem, Russian, Ukrainian) money.
