Like John Connally, the former governor of Texas, Trump had
millions of dollars signed away in personal guarantees. The personal debt on the
Trump Shuttle alone was $135 million. Bear Stearns had been guaranteed $56
million for Trump’s Alexander’s and American Airlines positions. The Taj Mahal
casino had a complicated set of provisions which made Trump responsible for $35
million. Trump had personally guaranteed $125 million for the Plaza hotel. In
West Palm Beach, Trump Plaza was so empty it was nicknamed “the Trump
See-Through.” That building alone carried $14 million worth of personal debt.
Trump’s mansions in Greenwich and Palm Beach, as well as the yacht, had been
promised to the banks for $40 million in outstanding loans. The Wall Street
Journal estimated that Trump’s guarantees could exceed $600 million. In one
astonishing decade, Donald Trump had become the Brazil of Manhattan.

On the presidential campaign trail, Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican
nominee, often boasts of his success in Atlantic City, of how he outwitted the
Wall Street firms that financed his casinos and rode the value of his name to
riches. A central argument of his candidacy is that he would bring the same
business prowess to the Oval Office, doing for America what he did for his
companies.
