How can this buffoon claim to resolve the US debt issues when he's on the lam to the tune of $650M ++++
“I’m very rich,” Donald Trump has often said to woo the crowds, talking about the fine marble in his hotels and the millions of dollars he has both given to the veterans and to funding his campaign.Umm no thanks I'm with her.
A New York Times investigation has revealed, however, that his companies are carrying debt of at least $650m (£497m) – more than double the amount that he disclosed in public records.
One example is an office building on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, which is indebted by $950 million. The two major backers are the Bank of China and Goldman Sachs. Mr Trump has railed against China for not paying its fair share of taxes for “taking” American manufacturing jobs, and he has blasted his rival Hillary Clinton for accepting $675,000 in speaking fees from Goldman Sachs.
A significant chunk of his wealth is also beholden to three passive partnerships that owe a further $2bn in debt to a group of lenders, such as the ones who own the Sixth Avenue office building. If the loans were to default, the value of his investments would plummet, even if he were not held personally liable.
The investigation’s damning results come amid his refusal to release his tax returns.
