“The picture that perhaps emerges most starkly from the figures and tax schedules is of a businessman-president in a tightening financial vise. “Most of Trump’s core enterprises report losing millions, if not tens of millions, of dollars year after year.”

“His revenue from “The Apprentice” and licensing deals is drying up; he has sold nearly all the stocks that now might have helped him plug holes in struggling properties. “And within the next 4 years, more than $300M in loans — for which he is personally responsible — come due.”
