Donald Trump's Great Escape: How The Former President Solved His Debt Crisis | Forbes



The day Donald Trump left the White House, his business was facing $900 million of debt coming due in the next four years. Working through those loans would have been a significant undertaking for any firm, but the Trump Organization was contending with additional challenges. Deutsche Bank, Trump’s longtime lender, was reportedly looking to end its relationship with the real estate mogul. Two other financial institutions, Signature Bank and Professional Bank, had spread the word that they were cutting ties in the wake of January 6, 2021. Meanwhile, the Manhattan district attorney was getting close to charging the Trump Organization with a series of financial crimes, including falsifying business records, conspiracy and fraud.

Soon plenty of people were trumpeting the end of an era. “The indictment of the Trump Org will likely result in its destruction as a viable entity,” Richard Signorelli, a former federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, tweeted in June 2021. “No bank will ever do business with an indicted company,” Dan Goldman, a onetime prosecutor who served as lead counsel during Trump’s first impeachment trial, said on MSNBC, calling an indictment “almost a death blow to the Trump Organization.”

Those predictions turned out to be dead wrong. In the last 15 months, the Trump Organization—under indictment, with its founder characterizing the charges as part of a “political Witch Hunt by the Radical Left Demo­crats”—has managed to rework almost all $900 million of the debt it had coming due. Now, magically, he is flush with cash and free to deal— thanks to a little help from powerful friends.

  2. It’s all a house of cards and he just keeps putting the debt off, never actually paying it back back which makes him very compromised, welcome Russians and political grift

  3. Thank you for this wonderful video .. If you have been closely watching the crypto or even invested in it, chances are that you are wondering whether the latest bear cycle is over. The truth is that the market remains unpredictable especially in the long-term. Despite the heavy outflows, Bitcoin still managed to promptly recover, this recovery demonstrated Bitcoin's strength despite being stress tested against highly volatile and unfavorable market conditions. Could this outcome be a sign that the market that the market is ready for a bigger recovery? The obvious answers is yes despite how long it might take, it is very important to stay ahead of the market by trading with the right strategy. I have been trading with Nicholas strategy for up to year now I have been able to accumulate 25.7 btc with his signals

  4. Money won't take care of Donald. His words and actions will bury him. The Domestic Terrorist leader D.J.Trump on January 6th divided a nation and its people. Thru planned violence. He lit the fire and encouraged it. He's a civilian criminal.
