Trump May Have a Lot of Money, But Documents Show he Owes a Lot, Too
President Trump may have had a troubled relationship with big commercial lenders over the years, but financial disclosure forms filed recently suggest he's still able to borrow money when he needs it. Trump's debts appear to be easily outweighed by his assets, but government ethics experts say any sizable debt represents a potential conflict of interest for a president. Former White House ethics advisor Norman Eisen says that because of the appearance of conflict, they wouldn't let President Obama refinance his modest home in Chicago. Trump allegedly owes $50 million towards the Trump Tower, owes millions on properties in Chicago, Florida and Washington, D.C. I believe if Trump wants to do any sort of financing as president, he should definitely pay off his debts. The financing could go down the drain if he doesn't pay off his debts. The more he holds it off, the more conflict of interest will rise.
