@rbreich my guess: Trump has likely used every property on multiple loan applications, loans few, if any, he made payments, let alone paid off. His historic debt is likely several billions $$$, but he probably doesn't list them anymore. I'm also guessing income from foreign properties, leases (for his name), and investments is in foreign accounts he may not have declared. He has the $500M , but not where he can use it in the US. He still has his foreign connections, but they're likely equally reluctant to help him. He put himself in no way out situation he has no friends with money to waste, but then there might be big billionaire who have the money. We'll see. Popcorn anyone?
