The increase may raise President Donald Trumps cumulative cost from the U.S. central banks hikes since his inauguration to $6 million per year, according to a Bloomberg News analysis of the presidents financial disclosures and property records.
I hope every American realizes his ONLY reason to oppose rate hike is his pocketbook. Should I add here that he has these loans and takes this position would be INSTANT impeachment, emoluments, for any Democrat living or dead.
Any.

Trump is an idiot who does not understand zero interest rates cause asset bubbles
which always deflate later with a bigger bang.

Or Secured debt that is subject of balloon or other debt arrangements. My guess is,every thing Trump is tied to is three Balloon debt. Typical for Real Estate Speculator operations.

(34,661 posts)Since his last BK,which I understand he stashed liquid assets from the BK Judge,and settled later with a token fine,he pretty much chewed that up. His Cash Burn was way out of control before the Saudi's bailed him out a few years back,Airline,Helio-business,Boat to the tune of Hundred Millions plus.
From what one gleans from David Johnston's Book,Trump Business's are a pure Ponzi. Cash on hand is Leverage Loans based on Valuation of the underlying Real Estate Inflationary Value. So if the Real Estate Market in NYC continues to drop as has been reported on Bloomberg,the shit is about to hit the fan.
