Compared to the value of Trump's assets, Trump is quite correct - $421 mil. is nothing when your assets are valued in excess of $3.5 Billion.

"Real estate tycoons are always afloat" -- DER SPIEGEL in a hit piece about Donald Trump, ca. 1986.
I doubt that the 400 mios are real debt, more like a mortgage with one or more of Trump's buildings as collateral. That's what is great about real estate: you can take a mortgage on it at any time, so it's almost as good as money in the bank.

And? So? What's your point? Are you saying you think $421,000,000 is a large amount of money?
Poorfag.

I don't know why Trump said that, because it looks like a very bad move that alienates the normies. Perhaps there is context in which it is less damaging.

We live in a debt based system. The only people who don't have debts print the money.

This only works on spiritual peasants. Real Estate users leverage. You bet with the bank's money.

If you finance a skyscraper, or a golf resort, then you owe somebody money.
How many Trump buildings are there?

Gee, are Twiiter and FB banning news sources that print this one?
