Trump also benefits from free advertising from his allies in the main stream media.
If Ted is spending Goldman-Sachs money, then Trump is spending Chase’s money, and Capital One’s money, and Deutches Bank’s money, and Ladder Capital’s money, and the money of more banks. He wouldn’t have nearly as much money to run on if he wasn’t in debt up to his eyes on every property and business deal he’s made to every big bank under the sun.
I wonder who has more influence, the bank that gave Cruz 1.5 million a few years ago or the industry that Trump CURRENTLY owes hundreds of billions.
hundreds of millions. I need more coffee.
So, is the candidate beholding to the one who gave him money to run, or to those that repay the loan, to repay the money he spent out of his own pocket, that he will later try to recoup by fundraising?
You could make a case for both, but I would say the one that gets donations in the beginning, the donators are gambling that the candidate wins.
The one who comes out afterward to recoup personal loss, may be more beholding, as they have no choice, if they want to recoup those losses.
You should know the answer to that one. If you owe the bank $100 you have a problem. If you owe it $1m, the bank has a problem.
