<p>[Trump</a> venture folds, leaving buyers strapped](<a href=“http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D96ONQO00&show_article=1]Trump”>http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D96ONQO00&show_article=1)</p>
<p>Excuse me for asking, but what is an administer in a city department of education doing purchasing a second home in a foreign country for $660K ???</p>
<p>trump is the king of using other peoples money for developing, and when it goes well, he takes his share of the profits…when it goes bust…he goes bankrupt and leaves others holding the bag…why doesn’t that work for ordinary people</p>
<p>I’ve always thought Trump lived off a giant Ponzi scheme. His casinos seem to forever being refinanced, every project seems to be fraught with fiscal danger for everyone but the Donald. It appears it’s his lenders who are left holding the bag. Those Mexican “purchasers” must have gone to the Trump equivalent of a timeshare promotion.</p>
<p>Wow…goes to show that you really do have to be careful buying something in a foreign country. Happens here too but I would think the laws protect you somewhat?<br>
Last year I bought a week at a house in Tahoe at a charity function. Long story short, the person who donated it had a dispute with the developer and never closed escrow on the property. He arranged for us to take a week at a penthouse condo in another location so fine by me. I wonder if he got stiffed on his deposit on the Tahoe place.
PS Cracking up that Barrons posted a thread about Trump.</p>
<p>Let me get this straight, was the woman that lost $200k an investor or a buyer? As a buyer, I’d think that she has recourse in the courts, but as an investor, she knew an investment could lose money.</p>
<p>Buyer.<br>
I never cared for Trump. There are FAR better developers out there. I did work on one of his projects and his people were nice enough. It’s in trouble now too as many can’t close on the condos (Las Vegas) and he has to resell them. But it did get completed.</p>

<p>I do agree that Trump is overrated.</p>
<p>I remember this a few years back. $660K steak dinner is pretty pricey.</p>
<p>uck…trump is so overrated. His sister lives near me, and when he comes to “visit” he makes such a major production about it! He’s a narsissitic twit…( know i spelled that wrong). He plays at the golf club and honestly is a major (&$&#. He frustrates me, because I know so many truly honest developers, who don’t abuse the situation they’re in. Trouble is, they are probably the ones who may lose their homes, etc…because they tried to keep paying the employees…</p>
<p>I refuse to watch his stupid show. I am NOT a fan…can u tell?</p>
<p>We were amused to see that he even has to have his name on the zamboni at his ice rink in Central Park. Is there any normal person out there who has that need to name everything after themselves? I don’t believe it is “branding”, I think he suffers from a tremendous lack of self esteem. Or should I say, we suffer from his lack of self esteem.</p>
<p>And here was Trump just a few weeks ago on Larry King Live boasting about how wonderful he’s doing in these tough times doing ‘great deals’ blah blah blah…</p>
<p>Meanwhile his properties go bust and the company with his name goes bankrupt… again.</p>
<p>Somehow I’m not surprised.</p>
<p>i file trump under the same category as the octomom.</p>
<p>Donald, cry me a river.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>LOL! May be they can join their efforts and come up with a new reality show.</p>
<p>^^^Trump’s sister, Mary Ann Trump Barry is a highly respected federal judge in NJ.</p>
