Donald Trump’s political operation is reeling after spending around $60 million on legal fees pertaining to the four criminal indictments and various ongoing civil lawsuits against him.
Disclosures indicate that Trump’s campaign and the various political action committees supporting it blew through tens of millions of dollars in 2023, leaving him cash-strapped heading into 2024.
Save America PAC, Trump’s primary PAC heading into his likely rematch with President Joe Biden, once had over $100 million in the bank. Now, it has just a little over $5 million left after spending over $25 million on legal bills in the second half of last year alone.
Looking forward to seeing exactly what that real estate is actually worth when he’s forced to divest and pay the judgements against him.
probably half underwater, loaded down with debt; and the rest, likely falling apart in need of significant renovations.
who am i kidding? it’s likely all loaded down with debt.
Does Deutchbank debt count as actual debt? I always figured with all the money laundering, that if he had to sell any of his actual properties (which are mostly shitty golf courses at this point), that the Russian moon would be charging him by the kneecap.
It’s the worst time to sell as well, with high interest rates and nobody wanting to be associated with anything Trump.
The New York properties will definitely sell if it comes to that, no problem. 3 desirable towers of luxury apartments in NYC would be worth a ton.
Even if they have to gut the whole damned thing, the superstructure alone is probably worth the money.

Sure. But only a portion of that loss equal to the tax rate. I don’t know what that rate is, but it it’s 30% then he’s eating 70% of the loss.
People keep throwing these accounting rules around as if they make losses not matter at all. They do.

If engeron fines him 300-400 million he’s fucked.
How has Trump always survived his other fiascos? Ans, Putin. The only question is which oligarch will buy his building at 20X what it is worth, then sell it back to him, under market value.
Still, that night will see many beaten prostitutes, 500 Truth Social posts in all caps and ketchup everywhere.
How can he pay less than zero?
It can carry over for several years
Lol, that’s not how any of this works
How much is office space? That’s not worth a lot anymore. If he’s lucky he owns a lot to apartments
NYC real estate is always valuable.
