If he is really so rich he doesn't need to borrow money. Was he intentionally losing money for tax purposes? It is sad if that is the case. Losing money to come out ahead is just wrong. It shows how the rich stay rich no matter how badly they lose.

Trump is losing so much we are getting tired of him losing so he can win.

I see Mr Trump was on board on 565 companies last year.
This year he declared he's only on one company, Trump corporation...

Rich borrow all the time, if for no other reason than to build credit. If you think (or know) that you can get 6% somewhere, it makes sense to borrow money at 4%. You would be up 2%!

Billionaires need to borrow? He is a real estate mogul, not a builder of oil refineries. What does he need the credit for?

I think it is more likely he is intentionally taking a loss to take advantage of tax loopholes. That would explain why he doesn't want to release his taxes. Remember when Trump said "only he can fix it" in regards to tax loopholes? He doesn't want to fix it and if people found out all of the tax loopholes he has taken advantage of it would become apparent he is a huge hypocrite and a liar who has no intention of fixing what has served him well.

Profiting from losing money is contrary to capitalism. In reality Trump is a socialist for the wealthy and capitalist for the poor.

It's not complicated. He's doing it because he is broke and has been since the 90s, his cash-flow being maintained by his salary as an actor and through laundering money for the Russian mob.

I know it’s better to pay cash rather than interest if possible, and I know real estate is a very good investment in the medium to long term.
I also know that I would not invest in anyone or thing that was stupid enough to lend Trump any money given his history. Well not unless I thought he would put a shed load of public my way in a ‘quid pro quo’ arrangement.

I’m saying, if Trump has $1M cash, he can put it into a house, OR, OR, he can be smart, which he is, and borrow $1M to buy the house, paying 4%. THEN, he takes his $1M cash and builds a hotel, invests in Amazon or whatever and makes a whole lot of money, over and above 4%. Whew.
