I used to be able to secure unsecured personal signature loans for a few grand at a time, but I can't anymore.
Long sad story, my own stupid fault, my own bad decisions.
It happens. I don't blame the banks for that.
OTOH, I do blame the banks for fraudulently churning bogus mortgage loans for hundreds of thousands in real estate “loans”, that caused the housing bubble/ burst and depleted most nationwide pension plans.
Trumps deals were not that sort of thing.
If little old stupid me knows that, why don't oh so smart you?
I suspect Trump has enough net worth to make the difference. You are correct. In the term bogus mortgages. I would guess the losses on Trumps bankruptcies were just along those lines.
I do not doubt Trumps intelligence, he is a brilliant man. The problem I have is with his charachter. He is untrustworthy and self centered.
And because yours was the most thoughtful written response to me all week, you are pretty sharp too. But I figure you know that.
