You realize Trump filed chapter 11 bankruptcies... corporate reorganization or dept restructure. I am not priveledge to the intimate details of the deal, but if you have an underperforming asset or dead beat partners it's a useful business tool. He recovered the business and made it a performing asset while protecting his interests. Why should Trump continue to dump money into the investment when the partners are not. You force the cash calls Andy when they are not there you squeeze the dead beats out and buy their debts/restructure them one. Trump is very smart and very calculating. Big difference from some one milking the entitlements.
