Donald Trump is a Wall Kisser, bought and paid for like all the rest of them

In the 1990s, Donald Trump bought the Taj Mahal and two other casinos in Atlantic City. Marvin Roffman, a former securities analyst thought he had made a mistake.

Alan Pomerantz was a Real Estate Attorney who represented a group of 72 banks to which Donald Trump is alleged to have owed money to.
He said Trump owed $4 billion to his debtors, including almost a billion for which he was personally responsible.
While Trump never went personally bankrupt, Pomerantz points out that there’s a reason why the banks decided to keep Trump whole.

“We made the decision that he would be worth more alive to us than dead. ... Dead meaning in bankruptcy. We don’t want him to be in bankruptcy. We want him out in the world selling these assets for us. … We kept him alive to help us.”
