I understand they were chapter 11 and Ive heard pro and con.

I do remember one years ago where they talked about Trump having the banks over a barrel .If they stopped lending him money they were going to lose their shirts probably because he threatened Chapter 13.

a quick Google search :

My Ex B-I-L was a Commercial Real Estate Developer.

People act like Trump was just playing Monopoly something they may be familiar with, not running a Multi Billion Dollar Enterprise. Take the poor Widow's House, collect $200. Pure BS... I know first hand that the Business is very complex, so this oversimplification of what Trump did or didn't do in his Business Dealings is nothing but Keyboard Kamikaze's trying to get their licks in with those they disagree with. I met the Politicians my B-I-L had to deal with, the other Developers, Partners and Competitors he had to deal with and I heard what it took for him to get Building Projects off the ground in both Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

I read these Threads and it's like a bunch of know nothing Children talking about a subject they are completely ignorant of.

I bite my Lip and try to add a bit of humor when I decide to Post, but I think EVERYONE here is taking their eye off the Ball, defeating the DemoncRats.

One other thing. I keep seeing People invoking Ronald Reagan in their arguments. Well, I'm sorry to say it but in this day and age Ronald Reagan could never win the Presidency.

People had better break out of the FR Bubble they choose to surround themselves with. No POTUS, no matter their beliefs or their Party will rid the Country of Abortion, Gay Marriage or some sort of National Health Coverage.

They may be able to restrict some aspects of Abortion, but they will never end it. Same for Health Coverage, you don't just cancel Obamacare without an alternative, hopefully a Free Market solution.

Entitlements do not die, they may evolve if you're lucky enough to have somebody that can convince the Masses that it is in their interest, but they NEVER go away. Heck, Reagan got people to accept that the Social Security Full Retirement Age would go up to age 67 from age 65. Of course, the early S.S. Retirement age wasn't changed at all, wonder why? Might have something to do the with the Howling that would have ensued. Disclaimer: I am a Cruz first, Trump second kind of guy and I have full Immunity from both CDS and TDS. Carry on.
