Did President Trump add $33 million to Puerto Rico's debt by bankrupting a golf course there? - Duration: 1:41.
This week there were left leaning blogs
and social media posts charging
that President Trump had declared bankruptcy
on a golf course
and Puerto Rico
and left the Puerto Rican government liable
for tens of millions of dollars worth
of bonds.
In the early 2000s,
the Puerto Rican government was hoping to
bolster the island's hospitality
industry so they backed bonds
to finance the development of hotels
and resorts.
The Coco Beach Golf
and Country Club,
which opened in 2004,
was backed by these bonds to the tune
of $25.5 million.
The recession hit Puerto Rico hard.
And by 2008 the resort
was heading toward bankruptcy.
That same year Trump agreed to license
his name and manage the resort as
a Trump International Golf Club Puerto
Rico.
But it kept struggling.
And in 2011,
it took on another bond offering
for 28 million dollars.
But Trump wasn't a meaningful part of this
decision.
The official documents show that the Puerto
Rican government knew just how much money
the resort was losing yet lent
the money anyway.
In 2015,
the property filed for bankruptcy
leaving Puerto Rican taxpayers
with a $33 million
debt.
So sure,
Trump shares some of the blame for failing
to turn the club around
but blaming him for contributing to the Puerto
Rican debt, is a shade too far.
The recession was a major factor
in the property's financial
