There is nothing more treacherous than building 3-4-500 million dollar commercial real estate. Off hand, I can’t think of any business more difficult.

Trump and His Debts: A Narrow Escape

Worse, $830 million of the debt carried his personal guarantee. Creditors, if they wanted, could force him into personal bankruptcy.

~snip~

But Mr. Trump was fast leaving his troubles behind. In 1995 he cut a deal with banks that wiped out the last of his personal debt.

He paid less than half of the roughly $110 million he owed, according to a person familiar with the matter.

All the details are out there, look ‘em up. Your question makes no sense and the explanation you gave under it looks like it answers your question.

Here is as HUGE list of companies who have filed Chapt. 11 reorganization.

The attempted explanation that “others do it too” doesn’t cut it.

MY explanations evidently answers your question. Done.

LIke I said before.

"the explanation you gave under it "

IS NOT my "explanation."

It is a cut and paste from YOUR OWN post.

Here is YOUR post:

...................................................

This is a bunch of crappola! The lies and misinformation are 24/7 about Trump. Whether you support him or not, be informed instead of emotionally invested in an election over some 1st term lawyer who you think might save your soul. This is about the USA, not your church.

FACTS DO MATTER

Best short summary by lawyers on this.

DONALD TRUMP HAS NEVER FILED PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY. NONE of the hundreds of companies he acquired ever filed liquidation bankruptcy. FOUR of them filed for REORGANIZATION where the creditors AGREE to a repayment plan.

Let an expert explain it to you.

Law Dictionary: How is Donald Trump Able to File for Bankruptcy So Many Times?

http://thelawdictionary.org/article/how-is-donald-trump-able-to-file-for-bankruptcy-so-many-times/

Written by James Hirby Fact checked by The Law Dictionary staff

People might ask “How is Donald Trump able to file for bankruptcy so many times?” The answer is “He didn’t.” Trump himself has never filed for bankruptcy. His corporations have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy four times. By filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the corporation is allowed to continue running while restructuring and reducing its debt. By allowing the business to continue, employees still have their jobs and the business is still making money. Corporate debts still need to be repaid but they may be reduced. The corporation must develop a repayment plan and corporate budget. Both must be approved by the creditors and by the bankruptcy court.

That is a nonsense answer.

Trump deliberately drained assets from REITs, causing them to become non-viable.

They were never intended to succeed.

Running for office has everything to do with morality.

Shysters do not belong in public office.

Those that craft bankruptcies have no place in the public trust.

Just because his name was not on the entity that he drove to bankruptcy, does not mean that it didn’t go bankrupt, and that he was not personally responsible for that result.

I’m not seeing anything there which supports your assertion.

FYI, here is your assertion “He hasn’t needed to because he has rolled personal debt into the corporate bankruptcies.”

Surely you didn’t just make that up out of thin air, did you?

“Has he ever filed personal bankruptcy?”

Why would he when he had his corporation footing the bills!

“Trump is the embodiment of the establishment.

He feels entitled to an office for which he completely lacks qualifications.

A man that deliberately bankrupts REITs in order to shift the funds to his personal use wants to be president.

That’s OK, right?”

If Trump is the nominee and wins the general election, we can just call him GIC, Gambler in Chief!

” am not going to argue this any more. Trump is going to absolutely crush the field in South Carolina, move on a crush them in Nevada and the SEC. After that he is going to run the table and arrive at the convention with more than 50% of the delegates. He will then go on to crush the Democrat in the general election.

Consistent conservatives and establishment Republicans can moan, grown, and complain all they want and it isn’t going to change the outcome.”

Not if he loses 25 percent of us consistent conservatives votes!
