Trump would have had to cough up $40 million or so of his own cash he personally guaranteed to Deutche Bank if he hadn’t gotten the bailout by Soros on the mezzanine financing. Trump isn’t as rich as he lets on.

I think you're tangling up what happened in 2004, when Trump acquired the mezzanine loan from the Soros entity, and 2008 when the article you linked was written. Now, just how did Trump acquire a loan in 2004 to avoid using personal cash for a payment that came due to Deustch Bank in 2008?

A long article in Wiki about this project states that Deutsche Bank demanded payment from Trump in 2008, then Trump sued in 2009 on various grounds, and then in 2010 they agreed to a loan extension and that seems to be the end of it. No mention of any "bailouts" or Trump payments. Just a renegotiated loan.

Still waiting for some links to substantiate your claim that Soros bailed out Trump in 2008, or at any point for that matter.

I think all the Soros entity did was make an initial investment back in 2004.
