"Trump’s Empire: A Maze of Debts and Opaque Ties

Hmmm...the US foreign policy in general: A Maze of Debts and Opaque Ties.... Maybe I was wrong about Trump. He is the perfect president!

Not really. Now kindly address the issue....which ultimately is that Donald's dealings would create one giant conflict of interest -- which is what the former CIA director said.

We don't care.....get it.

Yet you expect people to care about the Clinton Foundation.

No, it's because the press is in the tank for hillary. So we don't care what's in print.
It's all bias.
You bring up the clinton foundation.
Who in the alphabet media is questioning it? Certainly not ABC.

What was written about Trump is fairly common knowledge. He has a history that is public knowledge that many (all) of you ignore. The hypocrisy is astounding.

You mean the fact that he borrows money to finance his real estate projects? Can you list anyone who doesn't?

"Trump’s Empire: A Maze of Debts and Opaque Ties

On the campaign trail, Donald J. Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has sold himself as a businessman who has made billions of dollars and is beholden to no one.

But an investigation by The New York Times into the financial maze of Mr. Trump’s real estate holdings in the United States reveals that companies he owns have at least $650 million in debt — twice the amount than can be gleaned from public filings he has made as part of his bid for the White House. The Times’s inquiry also found that Mr. Trump’s fortunes depend deeply on a wide array of financial backers, including one he has cited in attacks during his campaign.

For example, an office building on Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan, of which Mr. Trump is part owner, carries a $950 million loan. Among the lenders: the Bank of China, one of the largest banks in a country that Mr. Trump has railed against as an economic foe of the United States, and Goldman Sachs, a financial institution he has said controls Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, after it paid her $675,000 in speaking fees.

Real estate projects often involve complex ownership and mortgage structures. And given Mr. Trump’s long real estate career in the United States and abroad, as well as his claim that his personal wealth exceeds $10 billion, it is safe to say that no previous major party presidential nominee has had finances nearly as complicated.

As president, Mr. Trump would have substantial sway over monetary and tax policy, as well as the power to make appointments that would directly affect his own financial empire. He would also wield influence over legislative issues that could have a significant impact on his net worth, and would have official dealings with countries in which he has business interests.

Yet The Times’s examination underscored how much of Mr. Trump’s business remains shrouded in mystery. He has declined to disclose his tax returns or allow an independent valuation of his assets.

Earlier in the campaign, Mr. Trump submitted a 104-page federal financial disclosure form. It said his businesses owed at least $315 million to a relatively small group of lenders and listed ties to more than 500 limited liability companies. Though he answered the questions, the form appears to have been designed for candidates with simpler finances than his, and did not require disclosure of portions of his business activities."

Your problem stems from your source, the NYT. They are nothing but a propaganda rag. What the posted is that Trump runs a normal business that borrows money, just like every other business. However, they tried to make it sound sinister. Only dumbasses like you are fooled.

It is not sinister nor illegal, the point that eludes you is that Trump runs a business which is dependent on banks and foreign entities, which goes against the narrative by those like you that Trump isn't beholden to anyone. Clearly he is.

No one gave Trump any money with the prospect of receiving government favors. The people he is "beholden" to are investors in his development projects. According to your theory any person who works in the private sector is "beholden" to someone. It's just the usual leftwing tactic of painting perfectly normal and ethical behavior as if it was something sinister. Meanwhile they give Hillary a pass on her multi-billion dollar money laundering operation.

I agree, Trump as president is as desired by me as Jeffery Dahmer being president. If it were legal to kill and eat people, Trump would do it. It's unnerving that only a law keeps him from being capable of the types of acts I know he's capable of. I sense ZERO patriotism in the man... He'll sell the US out to the highest bidder so fast it'll make your head spin. And seeing as how he likes to get the edge on the deal, he probably already has an underground auction going on right now as much as he globe trots around...you know..."on business trips"..

If he does get elected, the CIA will have to watch him like a hawk. Providing they too aren't on the take, selling poor America to anyone who pays the best. I assume there are at least a few patriots still at the helm in the Men In Black?

If everything you say about Trump is true (and it isn't, of course), then how is Hillary any better?

Now you're speculating. What "poor decisions?" His Atlantic casinos? Corporate America poured billions of dollars into Atlantic city after it legalized casino gambling. Many casinos went bankrupt, not just Trumps'. Every real estate project is a gamble, and sometimes they lose money. That doesn't make it a "poor decision." Trump has beaten the odds with his investments. He has a few losers but the vast majority are winners. Most businessmen would be ecstatic to have a record like Trump's.

A lot of money in this country is from foreign sources. When I bought my first house, a Swedish bank was the sinister foreign source that provided the money. HSBC is a Chinese bank, but it has branch offices in virtually every city in America. Your "foreign sources" gambit is just a sleazy propaganda meme. Nothing Trump has done is illegal. On the other hand, Hillary has accepted billions in bribe money and violated the the laws concerning handling of classified materials. She also obstructed justice and perjured herself. Your attempt at an equivalence is laughable.

Both claims are total bullshit. The term "junk bonds" is virtually meaningless.

As for the Soho, those terms were imposed by the city of New York. They are mandatory for what the city calls a hotel condominium. The owners buy them as an investment, not to live in. People often buy condominiums on the Florida coast with the intention of vacationing in them a few weeks out of the year and then renting them out the rest of the year.

Your post was just another sleazy attempt to paint activity that is totally ethical and above board as somehow sinister.

The term "junk bonds" is virtually meaningless.

So what would you call it?

I love these libs who criticize Trump's business decisions, because they obviously would have done so much better. That's why Trump is the billionaire, while they are in a permanent state of unemployment, fearing that Trump might take their free tax payer paid stuff away.

Junk or in other words "high yield" more speculative bonds are completely fair game. But of course someone illiterate in economics, but yet deeming himself worthy of giving advice to a billionaire would disagree. It's the liberal Dunning-Kruger at work again!

A lot of money in this country is from foreign sources. When I bought my first house, a Swedish bank was the sinister foreign source that provided the money. HSBC is a Chinese bank, but it has branch offices in virtually every city in America. Your "foreign sources" gambit is just a sleazy propaganda meme. Nothing Trump has done is illegal. On the other hand, Hillary has accepted billions in bribe money and violated the the laws concerning handling of classified materials. She also obstructed justice and perjured herself. Your attempt at an equivalence is laughable.

I'm not speculating, the Taj Mahal was built with junk bonds. The Soho was built with zoning restrictions. Imagine paying 2 million dollars for a condo that you had to vacate for 2/3 of the year while it was rented out..... he is stupid and so are those that tout his business record as worthy of the presidency.

Both claims are total bullshit. The term "junk bonds" is virtually meaningless.

You mean the fact that he borrows money to finance his real estate projects? Can you list anyone who doesn't?

Not just that he borrows money but who he borrows from and the types of loans he has taken and the poor decisions that he has made. There are reasons he has to seek foreign investors you know.

Now you're speculating. What "poor decisions?" His Atlantic casinos? Corporate America poured billions of dollars into Atlantic city after it legalized casino gambling.

I love these libs who criticize Trump's business decisions, because they obviously would have done so much better. That's why Trump is the billionaire, while they are in a permanent state of unemployment, fearing that Trump might take their free tax payer paid stuff away.

Junk or in other words "high yield" more speculative bonds are completely fair game. But of course someone illiterate in economics, but yet deeming himself worthy of giving advice to a billionaire would disagree. It's the liberal Dunning-Kruger at work again!

They led to bankruptcy.
