Why do you think he's dying to be president? š
He wants to pay that shit off. Dude ran in the first place because he was broke and had a ton of debt.
Trump wants to leverage the presidency to gain influence among other authoritarians. Anyone who has lent him money and thinks he's going to pay them back likely already has a deed to the Brooklyn Bridge.
Back when Trump was running for 2016, my brother (really into finance) said "he wants to keep his interest rates low" because he (everyone who cared) knew Trump was heavily leveraged. This was before all the other crazy tendencies came to light, of course.
I seriously wonder if Trump originally ran because they told him they were filming a mockumentary about him running for President and he went with it. Maybe they still haven't told him.
