Can Donald Trump file for bankruptcy?

Not sure he really gains anything here, even if he could. I think the way it will play is over the weekend, he will do a deal with the majority owners of some of this properties. They will buy out his shares at a reasonable price (since lowering the value hurts them also). And this would be less than if they really tried to buy him out. Win-win.

So it is not a loan and they have their money. If he wins his appeal and gets all the money back, maybe be buys back his investment or invests in others. But no one will have to worry about being paid back.
