He should liquidate his real estate holdings for 10c in the dollar of the value he estimates them at, then pack that into a suitcase and fly off to parts unknown, never to return.

Melania can stay behind and field media questions - in 5 different languages no less.

I will stand on the tarmac and wave him goodbye. And smile a lot.
The MAGAts can join me and shed a tear over their shattered dreams.

The problem is, the property isn’t worth as much as Trump claims it is. But it’s probably a good down payment for the bond, if the property isn’t already mortgaged.

And if Trump has negative equity in some of his real estate holdings, he won't raise much overall.

How much would Mar-a-Lago sell for?

A sale might end in a negative return.

Those numbers are things Trump wants to keep hidden. Desperately!

There is a reason why he has never divulged any real world numbers.

Just the incessant boasts about being a mega-Billionaire.
(A real Billionaire doesn't boast.)
