A little earlier today there was a thread about Trump releasing his tax returns. Interesting thread. Now it seems to have been deleted with no explanation. Weird.

Here is a little scold from WSJ. I usually find the editorials rather nasty and offensive but I find them useful in interpreting the Trump enigma. This one is quite delicious.
Trump's Little Mexican War
As long as Trump can stiff enough sub-contractors, skim profits off projects, while risking none of his money and sail away free from failures with carefully-timed bankruptcies, he does well in business.

Every smart businessman builds relationships with people so they can help each other. You help your friends before you help a total stranger in business.
being born on third base and making it to home is not the same as hitting a home run...

that would have made for a great campaign slogan:

"TRUMP: Didn't Blow Daddy's Money on Strippers and Coke"

....and he's a billionaire.
possibly.

I lived in NYC for years in the 90s and he was largely considered to be a scam artist. He is good at scamming, but that doesn't make him a good business person.
Why would a multi billionaire need a loan?

Worst of the worst you do not take a 1 billion loss in a signal year and you do not have 4 to 8 bankruptcies and still can be considered a amazing business man

He doesn't own most of those - just leased his name. NOT a "real estate portfolio".

Between the two of us, the only one mentioning impeachment is you.
