  “his net worth is derived largely from the value of his real estate, which bond companies rarely accept as collateral”

  Well yes, especially after being caught lying about its value…!

    And being famous for not paying people he had previously agreed to.

  Don’t worry. The Russian Mob will give him bailout money just like they did for his failed casino and property business. They just need to figure out the best way to launder the money with a regulator watching the business.

    I mean its not like the court wont know where the bond is coming from.

    If he could get away with some shit like that he would have already tried.

      Because if there’s something the mob is bad at, it’s money laundering.

    Laundering money isn’t a get rich quick scheme.

    You start with cash and end up with less cash, the launderer ends up with that “less” part.

    Trump doesn’t have cash. He was doing the laundering.

      I think they mean until Russia figures out how to loan Trump the money without the regulators figuring it out.

      These days it seems to be about selling things that don’t have an inherent price, like artwork (or sneakers). I throw some paint at a canvas and put it up for sale for $1M. Someone buys it, but we have an understanding that I’ll do sometime for them, and if I don’t I’ll have to buy special pants for the rest of my life.

  The sad thing that if he goes bankrupt there are thousands of Americans who will line up to give him money.

  They’ll tell themselves that he’s broke because he was serving his country, and that this is all political.

  Meanwhile they’ll let real veterans die in the gutter.

    The sad thing is hundreds of thousands are falling over eachother to donate him money while they believe he’s a multi-billionaire

      He announced on Day One that he wouldn’t accept any donations. He started out paying a little, but it looks like that was ‘priming the pump’ [a term Trump claims top have invented]

    I’m fine with this. Let them go broke, too. It’ll keep them from being able to cause as much trouble.
