Trump’s Empire: A Maze of Debts and Opaque Ties (No mention of Clinton Family Crime Foundation)
New York Slimes ^ | August 20, 2016 | Suzanne Craig

On the campaign trail, Donald J. Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has sold himself as a businessman who has made billions of dollars and is beholden to no one.

But an investigation by The New York Times into the financial maze of Mr. Trump’s real estate holdings in the United States reveals that companies he owns have at least $650 million in debt — twice the amount than can be gleaned from public filings he has made as part of his bid for the White House. The Times’s inquiry also found that Mr. Trump’s fortunes depend deeply on a wide array of financial backers, including one he has cited in attacks during his campaign.

For example, an office building on Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan, of which Mr. Trump is part owner, carries a $950 million loan. Among the lenders: the Bank of China, one of the largest banks in a country that Mr. Trump has railed against as an economic foe of the United States, and Goldman Sachs, a financial institution he has said controls Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, after it paid her $675,000 in speaking fees.

If it was Hillary they would say: the loan from BOC/GS is 950 million, but current leases exceed the annual debt costs by xx%.

Calvin on you msm.

Remember when Hillary was flat broke and stole priceless antiques from the white house just so she could afford to eat like the common folk.
