| fatslob-:O said: There are very few REIT's who could immediately absorb 3+ billion dollars in terms of real estate assets alone and the companies that can are usually much larger. There are very few as it is that can buy Trump's real estate empire but there's even fewer among those want to buy his property specifically ... You work with Trump's partners ? I've done tons of research already and I haven't got a single clue of where his financial ties with Russia lies and even after fine-tooth combing his financial disclosure form, I couldn't see any assets located from Russia or liabilities listed by Russian specific creditors so that is why I'm almost certain that the Trump and the Russia connection is mostly a conspiracy theory ... (Not even the FBI found any links between Trump and Russia! If Trump does have russian connections then he must be very good at hiding it otherwise I don't see it.) Trump's business is indebted to a bunch of private corporations but I don't think they were betting him to win the presidency like most markets did so what Trump owes is cash and not his ears so I'm not worried right now ... A president should NEVER have to be in negative equity otherwise their creditor's obligations will get in the way of governance. Equity represents an individual's power and having less of it is NOT ideal for ANYONE no matter what ... |
The question is not purchasing power: Chinese investors spend more than his entire portfolio on NY RE annually (They've blown past the Russians of late, thanks to Putin's consolidation of the oligarchs.), and a one buyer scenario is possibly, but not likely.. Whether or not people want to buy it is a testament to his supposed business savvy; that's a fair question to raise, which would probably rustle quite a few skeletons in his closets.
This is real:
If Trump's business enterprise is indebted to banks, that inherently contradicts your assetion about presidents and indebtedness. It's also signifcantly more complicated than that, because he owes them returns on current deals, payments on financing deals, and likely payouts on debt relief deals (The latter two can be interrelated.). Couple that with the expectation of hrowing his enterprise, through the same lenders, and we have many potential conflicts.
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Ulyssess Grant, Harry Truman , and others were debt-ridden presidents, so I think character goes a lot further than being independently wealthy. It's why I would trust Bloomberg and not Trump: the former took no salary and dumped millions into the city hall; the latter said that he will take no salary and is charging teh secret service 1MM+/year to rent out his building.
If I haven't clarified this earlier, I am not pro-Clinton (too many similarities to Trump).
