If he hurts the real estate market, just so he could buy it back cheaper, he would be hurting his other properties. Pretty stupid wouldn't you say? Look, I think he's pretty damn egotistical and that wouldn't allow him to do something that would hurt his net worth. None of you guys seem to care when liberals go into govt with little and come out having a wealthy portfolio, Harry Reid, or when Diane Feinstein negotiates a minimum wage relief for American samoa where Starkist is made. Guess who has a major interest in Starkist Tuna? Selective outrage. At the same time, I hope that his holdings can be taking care of to assuage the lefts feeling.
You really need to stop this. "none of you guys seem to care ..... blah blah blah" First, I have been pretty damn fair in my criticisms all the way around, and second, we aren't talking about any of those other things now, but if you'd like to start another thread to discuss them, have at it. We are talking about Trump's commercial interests as he holds the office of POTUS.
My statement wasn't about his one property, because no, he isn't going to damage the value of all the others for the sake of the one. However, my question was, why just that one and not the others? If it is all of them, then he has a damn good reason to crash the market. He sells everything for $1B, buys it back at $600M, and then real estate goes back up and he's profited all of that money.
Having said all of that ... I'm less interested in his hotel in DC than I am regarding to whom he is indebted.
