(65,042 posts)...debt interest was super high, & worse;
There were 4 casinos in Atlantic City and 3 were his. At that time, there wasn't the traffic to support 4, and he was 2/3rds of his own competition.
So actually, I guess, it's not that easy to go broke running a casino.
It takes colossal business incompetence and a total lack of knowledge about simple economics!

Published Apr. 02, 2020 3:29PM ET
The Trump Organization has reportedly asked about delaying payments to loans and other financial obligations after the coronavirus pandemic closed most of its resorts, hotels, and golf courses. According to The New York Times, the company asked Deutsche Bank late last month about potentially postponing payments on at least some of its hundreds of millions of dollars in loans. A Florida-based company executive also emailed and called Palm Beach County officials to talk about whether they had planned to keep asking for rent payments on land the Trump Organization rents from the county for a 27-hole golf club. The talks with the bank and the county were reportedly preliminary, and the Deutsche Bank discussions are continuing. These days everybody is working together, President Trumps son, Eric, told the Times. Tenants are working with landlords, landlords are working with banks. The whole world is working together as we fight through this pandemic.
Policies and sluggish business due to the coronavirus has prompted the shuttering of the Trump Organizations Las Vegas hotel, Florida and New Jersey golf clubs, and the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Staff and services have also been axed at Trump properties in New York and Washington. A $500 billion economic bailout package that Trump signed last week specifically bars him and his family from accessing the funds.

Trump learned that his close friend, 78-year-old New York real estate mogul Stan Chera, had contracted COVID-19 and fallen into a coma at NewYork-Presbyterian. Boy, did that hit home. Stan is like one of his best friends, said prominent New York Trump donor Bill White. Trump also grew concerned as the virus spread to Trump country. The polling sucked. The campaign panicked about the numbers in red states. They dont expect to win states that are getting blown to pieces with coronavirus, a former West Wing official told me. From the beginning of the crisis, Trump had struggled to see it as anything other than a political problem, subject to his usual arsenal of tweets and attacks and bombast. But he ultimately realized that as bad as the stock market was, getting coronavirus wrong would end his presidency. The campaign doesnt matter anymore, he recently told a friend, what I do now will determine if I get reelected.

(6,254 posts)every turn and it seems his wacko court picks with their unitary executive bullshit beliefs will block any meaningful oversight. Dont get me wrong, there have been some great rulings against Trump stonewalling on his tax returns and we have been told that these cases are stone cold winners, but we have yet to see a tax return and now SCOTUS will weigh in. I have zero faith SCOTUS will do the right thing and affirm the Houses inherent right at oversight. Donnie is salvaging at the thought of those perfect beautiful
Bailout checks. Just who in the government will tell him no checks for you. This will be the biggest heist of government money in the history of the world. When we Dems get control back imagine what we will inherit. I thought Obama had it bad but the next Dem president will face staggering deficits. Or, like Cheney said, deficits dont matter.

(51,591 posts)"Other companies may be able to tap into a $500 billion rescue fund that will be administered by the Treasury Department. But the economic bailout package, which Mr. Trump signed into law last week, specifically barred the president and his family from access to that money."
"Yet the company, which has a portfolio of more than a dozen golf clubs and luxury hotels in the United States and overseas, has opted to keep some of its properties open absent government orders to close, in contrast with the widespread shutdowns by some larger hotel chains."
"Mr. Trump has at times in the past tried to take advantage of crises to get out of his debts."
"In November 2008, he owed hundreds of millions of dollars on a loan from Deutsche Bank that financed the construction of the Trump International Hotel & Tower in downtown Chicago. Mr. Trump told Deutsche Bank that he considered the financial crisis to be a contract-voiding act of God. He sued the bank, blaming it for the crisis and for engaging in predatory lending by trying to collect on the loan, and sought $3 billion in damages."

(4,007 posts)basement prices to fat Donnie's biggest US competitors. Minimze any payback on built-up equity and even then, drag any equity claims out in US, then EUR courts forever. Make him hire tons of high priced laywers who should demand cash in advance for their services. The bank(s) must move fast here to make the seizures before he files for bankruptcy.
This trick often works as the courts often rule that the filing 'proves' the move is solely to avoid legal debt payments. Heck, even if the courts rule for fat Donny, he'll spend tons of time and cash and even then, at the end, he'll need to sell to pay the lawyers, settle the remianign debt, etc. It's a mess and it could not have happened to a more deserving asshole!
