The Trump Organization Appears To Be On Verge Of Complete Financial Collapse

The Trump Organization, like so many American businesses these days, is experiencing a tremendous downturn in revenues, and because the president’s family company is heavily leveraged and owes millions in payments for loans it has taken out, could be on the verge of total financial collapse and the seizure of its assets, according to the New York Times:

“Representatives of Mr. Trump’s company have recently spoken with Deutsche Bank, the president’s largest creditor, about the possibility of postponing payments on at least some of its loans from the bank.

“And in Florida, the Trump Organization sought guidance last week from Palm Beach County about whether it expected the company to continue making monthly payments on county land that it leases for a 27-hole golf club.”


Many of the Trump properties are hemorrhaging money, estimated to be several millions of dollars a day, even though the company has left some hotels and clubs open, despite the call by medical experts to close all such gathering places to slow the spread of COVID-19 across the country.


Creditors are somewhat reluctant to make a big deal out of the payments they’re owed, but can only let the matter go on for so long before taking further action, which could include foreclosure and seizure of assets, the Times notes:

“Because of his history of defaults and bankruptcies, Deutsche Bank insisted that Mr. Trump provide personal guarantees on those loans, meaning that the bank has recourse to his personal assets if he were to stop paying back the money.

“Deutsche Bank executives have been fretting about what would happen if he were to default, according to bank officials. Seizing the president’s personal assets would be an unattractive proposition. But opting not to collect on the loans would be the equivalent of an enormous financial gift to Mr. Trump.”

The Russian mafia is reportedly heavy into drugs and sex trafficking all over the world. They need a way to make the cash generated legal.

We need a serious revision of real estate tax laws. They have far too many loopholes that allow people like Trump to avoid paying taxes at all, not to mention the ease of laundering money as Trump did when he sold that Florida property for an enormous profit during a recession.

He said "If I go to the doctor, he will send me for all kinds of tests, and I will be in debt for the rest of my life" King Donald the Dunce has no such worries, especially now that he is king of the world. The tRump crime family of grifters is a disgrace. They have no shame, it is their way of life. This presidency gig is a dream come true for them. None of them have to open their wallets, everything is free. For Donnie Jr., even his girlfriend is paid by other people.

and he's never had anyone tell him "no" or rein him in.

He's found out* that being president is not the same as being CEO of his own company - people in other parts of the government don't have to kiss his ass, and won't kiss his ass, and it infuriates him.

And, as you say, he's a one-trick pony - he can't adapt to the fact that people aren't adapting to his every whim and daily change in what is true.

* I say "found out" with the understanding that he probably hasn't really "found out" in any intellectual sense; but more in the sense that a cat never "finds out" that a kitchen counter is an unsafe place for germy cats but "finds out" that it gets sprayed with water if it's on that particular flat surface.

44. Did you see the Bill Maher monologue
Sat Apr 18, 2020, 10:02 PM
Apr 2020

a few months ago about offering Trump money to resign? It was hilarious. Talked about money as Trump's only interest in life, so the best way to get rid of him is to buy him out. There were several good lines, but the one that I remember referred to the time Trump had toilet paper stuck to his shoe in public. "That wasn't toilet paper. It was a f..k..ing price tag."

Who knew that Maher's best monologue could become a prediction less than a year later?

they can or at least the most profitable one (before the crash). Auction them off ASAP. Then, fend off any lTrumpian awsuits by claiming the text of the loan agreements allows the lender (they almost always do!) on default by the borrower, to do exactly that.

Kick him in the nuts!

It has a fiduciary duty to its shareholders which would normally reduce its flexibility to bestow special favors.

But with Trump in control of the regulators and the courts, typical safeguards are likely to have been corrupted.

I hope Trump gets so fucked up the ass, his mind spins with pain, and then collapses in pleasure from being in a totally new position in life. On the bottom.

I hope Deutsche Bank takes everything he has. I hope he is left penniless. I hope they shut down all of his businesses. I hope they seize EVERYTHING.

Nothing short of a maximum security prison stay for crimes against humanity would make me happier than to see Trump lose everything he has.

Deutsche Bank gets what it deserves by backing him. Why the hell did they think NO American bank would loan to him. But as the world's money launderer, I guess they don't care.

he has plundered so far from the US Treasury? Or has it all gone to keep him afloat. Maybe that's why he's so intent on stealing the billions set aside as aid for the pandemic.

I'm sure that in the process of allocating $2 trillion, there was room for a few billion to be diverted his way.

Cheney was far less subtle when he oversaw the disappearance of $9 billion in cash somewhere in the Iraqi desert, and the "budget-minded" Republicans shrugged and chalked it up to "collateral damage."

All they have to do is print 'em off, slap on the current date, have whoever has power of attorney make his "X", and let fly.

The only additional requirement is that a copy has to be filed with Vlad.

What gets me is that the Bank (Deutsche) is hesitant to act if the loan defaults? Then why did Deutsche Bank loan the money to rump to begin with? Fretting? They brought it on themselves and I am surprised that the German government would allow the Bank to walk away without recourse, should rump default.

He has nothing but piles of debt cleverly accounted for and super leveraged to provide income but always robbing Peter to pay Paul.

there was some critical emergency lending concerning money market funds that spike interest rates to 10%, so something was going on at that time too, and not related to COVID-19.
