Trump's companies are not a corporation. It's also not a government. He just can't keep printing money to pay off his $1B in Debt. Nor can he float bonds.

The way the tax code is set up, you want real estate holdings to be separate from operating businesses. It's butt stupid, but government set up the tax laws to make it that way. So here's how it would be set up. This is the MINIMUM number of corporations, there could be many more
Building one:
- One corporation that rents out apartments (revenue) and deducts operating costs (maintenance), ...
- One corporation that owns the building
- The second corporation rents the building to the first corporation, which rents apartments.
Building two:
- One corporation that rents out apartments (revenue) and deducts operating costs (maintenance), ...
- One corporation that owns the building
- The second corporation rents the building to the first corporation, which rents apartments.
