They are so closely allied with him that they are dependent on his survival. He did this with the banks. They realized that if they shut him down they couldn't possibly recoup much from his holdings. He used this in the deal where he got debt forgiven (but didn't have to report it as income), loans personally to him, and then he did an IPO - which cost everyone money but him. All this lead to the tax break.

This guy owed Trump as was reliant on him.
