It's a huge amount of money and not the best market to be risking that much is my guess. I know it's very satisfying to harm him but you're only making him stronger for the election.
Sure, it's a huge amount of money. No argument there.

But a good bond company would still love his business, right? He's got $400,000,000 in cash, supposedly. Billions in other assets. Seems like a slam dunk... unless they decided he's overleveraged and actually not good for the bond. Oops.

May very well be. I'm more concerned about him getting back in and stopping the border insanity and hopefully put in policies that'll reduce inflation.
He is Mr. Negative Interest Rates lol. He would pressure the Fed to juice inflation again, dude.

From a Feb. 2019 article: "U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday called on the "boneheads" at the Federal Reserve to push interest rates down into negative territory, a move reluctantly used by other world central banks to battle weak economic growth that risks punishing savers and banks' earnings in the process."

How much more inflation would we have if he had had his way?

You're of the opinion it's negative Internet rates that caused our inflation?

Well, we didn’t have negative interest rates. But they remained too low for too long. Coupled with excessive stimulus and the natural fallout from major and sustained supply chain disruptions caused rapid inflation.

The Fed is holding rates higher now in hopes of preventing the inflation fire from being stoked again. If they lower them like Mango Unchained has always wanted it could reignite the problem.

You're speculating. The Fed has no choice but to keep them higher but ultimately they'll want to reduce rates. Just not in the cards yet.

Paul Manafort has oozed back into the scene. I wonder if he will facilitate Trump’s legal salve courtesy of Eastern Europe.
Keeping a close eye on what happens with Manafort. You know, the guy who worked for Russian oligarchs in Ukraine and who has had close ties to Russian intelligence officers. The guy who went to :censored2:ing prison?

  • $168 million of interest Donald Trump saved from favorable loans based on the false financial statements
  • $126 million of fraudulent profits Donald Trump received from the sale of the Old Post Office based on false financial statements
  • $60 million of fraudulent profits Donald Trump received from the sale of Ferry Point golf course in New York based on false financial statements
  • plus roughly $100 million more in interest on all these fraudulent profits

    = $454,000,000 judgment
