DC,
Most people here do not understand the commercial real estate business, especially on Trump's level.
It is very apparent by some of the very naive posts.
To the lay person, bankruptcy automatically means the debtor is reneging on a contractual obligation, where other persons are being financially damaged. Meanwhile he/she lives to fight another day. The cries follow: "It's not right! It's not fair! It's immoral"!
They don't stop to realize that their cousin 'Freddie' is a construction worker, who, if the project goes under...loses not only his job, but maybe his house, his car...and his kids are thrown out of college for non-payment of tuition.
Instead, they focus on the fabled little old lady who invested her entire life savings, etc.. Nobody put a gun to her head to risk it.
PS: Soon as Trump becomes POTUS, you can be sure the Federal Reserve is suddenly going to forget all about ridiculously low..almost ZERO interest rates, which alone, is the reason we're not seeing apples being sold on every corner right now. The establishment is going to make it tough for him.
It's why I'm all for a few years of Trump using EO's to protect 'you' and me.
Because the powers that be are going to take "I hope he fails" to a completely different meaning than Rush Limbaugh did when asked about Obama.
