Real estate lawyer perfectly explains how Trump built his campaign like a crappy condo-mall project

Evidence has been mounting that Trump's entire presidential campaign is a self-dealing con job, and now one attorney who has experience representing developers has laid out for us how his campaign is structured exactly like a failed real estate investment.


Thomas Crown, the pseudonym of an attorney and former RedState contributor, posted an epic tweetstorm this week where he explained that Trump is a "walking cliche" in the world of real estate deals.

First, he notes that when developers like Trump hit snags in their projects, their first instinct is to blame their investors for not putting enough resources into the project, which is what Trump is doing right now by blaming Republican leaders for not backing him more strongly against Hillary Clinton.

To get investors to commit more to the project despite its poor performance, Crown says that developers will often float putting up more of their own money into the project to get investors to believe the worst is over and they really have a safe place to park their money:

What's particularly interesting here, notes Crown, is that at this point the developer's goal isn't to make the current project successful -- rather, it's to survive before you can move onto the next project that will hopefully be more of a success:

Crown also guarantees that Trump will not fully self-fund his own campaign, since it would require liquidating hundreds of millions of dollars of his own assets that he'll need to start his next project, which will presumably be Trump TV.
