Here’s where things gets confusing: Donald Trump owns Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC, so he’s lending money to himself. In addition to a Deutsche Bank loan for what seems to be $45 million, there’s a loan of more than $50 million, from a creditor named Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC. The debt against Trump’s Chicago tower includes the most confounding liability in his portfolio.
Trump's financial disclosure report shows two liabilities against his tower in Chicago, including his ever-perplexing loan with Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC.
