How will Republican funders wreak their vengeance on Trump?

[Paul Markham]

He's going to lose, then what?

He's upset a lot of the GOP and their billionaire paymasters. Will they let it go or inflict penalties on him? Obvious ones are the banks not extending loans or raising interest rates. Another one is local authorities that he relies on for planning permissions and various permits can just shut him out. Tax Authorities can go after him. The list is long.

He's not a big business like Microsoft, GE, GM, he's a hotel owner. Most of which I doubt he actually owns. Scams like the Trump Fake University can get him into such deep trouble he might be bankrupted by it.

Until he ran for President and knocked all the other Republicans out of the park. He wasn't taken seriously. How will Republican politicians in the States he has hotels. Spank his ass for revealing the problem they have with voters?

you should start a show called paul markham - fantasy factory.

[Hannes]

well he's fucked to say the least

I think he has made his piece with it. His kids are setup for life and their kids. He has enough to keep his shit rolling until he checks out i am sure.
I am sure he knew this was a win or die situation.

Trump will be just fine.

I think he's more surprised than we are that he got so far.

I'm sure he's not worth what some think he is, he's more than likely up to his neck in debt. Once the banks squeeze him, the Governors and local politicians on both sides fuck with him. He could be in trouble.

Will he be held personally responsible for lying about the fake university?

I am not so sure about this.

On one hand everything could come crashing down and end. It seems the entire Trump organization has issues paying contractors. Right now there are some seventy pending lawsuits by contractors who have not been paid by the Trump organization. Because of the attention Trump is getting in the press, this is coming out and contractors are now aware of this - and contractors aren't going to do millions of dollars of work knowing they might not get paid. It will destroy their business.

Yet on the other hand, the banks love Trump. In the event Trump goes bankrupt again, they banks will just loan him hundreds of millions of dollars again like they have in the past. The banks don't care because it's not their money they stand to lose, and they make money no matter what. It's the banking industry and the housing market and the recession all over again; The banks make money no matter what happens.

What might happen here is the worse thing that can happen to Trump - damage to his name. Trump's tries to portray his brand name was "classy" and "style" and "rich" and I see it as tacky and gaudy - always have. Trump is a seventy year old man and he is just plain tacky to me.

My best guess is that traditional Republicans will hedge their bets -- smart money does that ... Democrat party contributors will do the same (under the table with plenty of obfuscation.) Remember Citizens United -- corporations are now ''people'' when it comes to campaign money.

If Republicans are as evil and greedy as I keep hearing they are, the world will move on and everyone will continue making money.

While I agree with you about the banks making money out of him. Thay won't if he gets sued more often. Punishing him for stepping out of line. Is to deter others from doing the same.

As for tacky, never seen him as anything else.

Little or nothing will happen to him. If he loses he will go right back to doing what he was doing before. They aren't going to stop loaning him money or punish him so long as they can make money with him.

The party leaders and other party officials, on the other hand, may have some serious issues and we could see some serious changes within the party structure.

I hope that you realize that the Banks pass along the cost of their losses by inflating the interest rates that borrowers pay on revolving debt, credit cards, student loans as well as uncollateralized personal and business borrowing. Did you ever wonder why credit is so expensive when the FED rates are so low? All borrowers are financing the bankruptcy losses. Government unit and corporate bond prices factor in risk in their discount to yield ratios also.

When a bank writes down, or writes off, its equity in a loan asset (Total equity by net loans) the bank loses its loan equity. The remaining borrowers indirectly pay and the shareholder equity is written down -- the loss is real.

Society pays the loss.
