I have approximately no doubt that Trump is, on paper at least, cash poor for tax dodging reasons. (Odds are that’s the way he qualified for a NYS handout to homeowners who earned less than $50,000/year.) Hence asking the little peoples for contributions. It’s a grift, of course, but also something of a necessity.

Too, I wonder: there was a lot of buzz around 2020 about all the loans coming due. I wonder whether the increased interest rates has been a problem. In addition, a lot those loans came out of Deutsche Bank’s private bank and... Trump’s person there who was always quick to OK loans to him got kicked out a few years ago.

Note: my god, no way is the preceding any defense of Trump at all.
