Trump opposes rate hike because HIS loan will go up NOT because he cares about you!

Powell's Rate Hike May Have Just Cost Trump Another $1 Million



https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-19/powell-s-rate-hike-may-have-just-cost-trump-another-1-million



Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s interest-rate increase on Wednesday may add almost $1 million to the Trump Organization’s annual borrowing costs.

The increase may raise President Donald Trump’s cumulative cost from the U.S. central bank’s hikes since his inauguration to $6 million per year, according to a Bloomberg News analysis of the president’s 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.

Interest rates are still much lower today than in 1980's, 1990's & 2000's.
Trump is an idiot who does not understand zero interest rates cause asset bubbles
which always deflate later with a bigger bang.

Someone posted his unsecured floating Interest rate debt owed to be 340 million. We have zero idea what his so called secured debt is. 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.

that his inheritance was $400 million and he now has a few million left plus $400 million in debt. That doesn't even include the tens of millions he's defaulted on. He's that rotten at business.

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.
