Appearing on MSNBC, New York Times financial investigative reporter Dean Enrich claimed Donald Trump is under the gun to come up with money quickly with some massive loans coming due soon and banks starting to look at seizing his assets.
Enrich, who wrote "Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump, and an Epic Trail of Destruction," said the ex-president is facing a slew of banks that won't have anything to do with him and that previous lenders have already announced they are cutting him off from new credit.
More at link or NYT. I sure hope intel is watching this pos closely!

(6,679 posts)He's been through this 6 times. He's more slippery than an eel.
The banks will get left holding the flaming bag of dog turds like they always do. Those idiots loaned him the money knowing his financial history. They may cut off his line to new credit, but they will never collect. He didn't intend to pay when he borrowed it. Furthermore, some idiot will step in and give him new credit at some other bank. And if that fails, the Trumps will reconfigure the company so they can keep up the grift. It isn't that hard to do and happens all day long.
Trump Incorporation Tax ID 123456789 is not equal to
Trump Corp Tax ID 987654321
And he probably has 100's of these.
Trust me, he's well protected.

(15,619 posts)He has personally guaranteed at least $400m in debt coming due this year and next. If his assets arent seized as collateral, they would likely be sold through bankruptcy court to pay creditors.

(28,347 posts)Many people (myself included) think Donald would sell our secrets to our enemies.
He cannot be trusted during normal times. When he becomes desperate, Heaven knows what he would do.
We also have to closely watch Jared Kushner. I don't doubt he's already stolen, and tucked away secrets.
It saddens me to say this, but there is no trust in these people.
Their life of luxury is far more important ...

Warpy
(111,267 posts)About the only cash infusion he can manage is from mobsters, here and abroad.
Personally, I think we're more likely to see a fire sale of his less lucrative properties across the planet.
His heirs will be lucky to have his twin white elephants in MaraLardo and NYC to inherit.

(17,920 posts)He's cutoff from briefings. He never paid much attention to them anyways. Any direct intel from his was probably so garbled and filled with hyperbole that it might have been useless. His function was probably to open doors for other intelligence gatherers and god only knows what got out.

NEW: The @statedept says it has 450 pages of records showing government payments to
@realdonaldtrump's businesses.
But it's only going to release 2 pages before the election.

(11,563 posts)...and or playing footsie with hostile foreign govts or their cut outs.
But the point I was going to make was that, typically, a cash infusion is only a temporary respite. Unless it is enough to seriously reduce the principal amount, it will only buy some time. Next time the creditor comes knocking, that sold asset, or source of funding, is gone and you're going to be facing the same demands, and in a worse position.
And who is going to advance enough cash, or underwrite enough debt, to make a real and significant improvement in his overall situation?
With any luck, it's another popcorn episode. Gather round, peeps!

(6,535 posts)I think he's got more money than anyone realizes. I think he took it from us as he wheeled and dealed in the world. It's fun to think about, but he's not sleeping in his car. And Melania and Barron are definitely not sleeping in his car.
They will view him like the ex-pRes he is, and they will eye his taxpayer pension, and they will extend him more credit, especially for his media empire that will be the next thing on his mind after his impeachment trial.
He's living at Mar a Lago, and because he is an ex-pRes, he'll get to break those rules. He'll pay whatever back taxes are owed, or he will tie up the case in court for years.
This guy is a slippery weasel who will use a second run at the pResidency to claim immunity from prosecution as a candidate. He has already filed the required paperwork.
We have to be successful at convicting him, or he's going to return like a bowl of sour vomit. This is very important.
