A New and Improved Donald? Psychic Sees Trump Change

By The Staff at wowOwow.com

Word spread this week that Donald Trump’s eponymous casino firm, Trump Entertainment Resorts, has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. This isn’t the first time the real estate mogul has faced financial troubles, but the current economic crisis is like nothing we’ve ever seen. Wondering what will become of dear Donald, we turned to wOw intuitive Peggy Rometo.

wOw: Donald Trump recently declared bankruptcy. We’re interested: will he find his way back?

Peggy: This man is resilient and golden. He sees the time period as an opportunity to let go of underperforming assets. He’s very matter-of-fact regarding it. His inability to pull off his recent financial positions in real estate really come from blind spots that are not entirely his fault, but who he’s partnered with. He’s been in situations like this before, and has learned from them. He’s better protected this time and has taken precautions upfront to minimize personal risk. It’s such a small piece of his true wealth. The stagnation I’m seeing is not so much his doing as the overall landscape of the economy. He’ll continue to feel the crunch like everyone else. But will make a bigger splash again — two to three years at most.  He will be a larger force to be reckoned with.  I don’t ever see him leaving the scene of real estate.

wOw: Will he need to sacrifice his own life style?

Peggy: No. He has learned how to protect his personal wealth from previous downturns. This bankruptcy almost feels like a bit of joke — he can let go of things, take advantage of timing, a good moment to be smart in business and shed certain properties. I think he feels more irritated and ready to get on with what is next.

wOw: What do you feel when you ask about his energy?

Why don’t you do a reading article on Tim Geithner and the U.S. economy crisis?

Rather than seeing a chiropractor, he should have a check on the upper right quandrant of his pelvis to see where the pain is coming from.

But is he admitting that he filed for bankruptcy? The last time he did, he was insulted and angered that anyone would state that about him because “I am worth millions. Could I say that if I had filed for bankruptcy?”

It is, my friend Belinda, very different to declare personal bankruptcy than for a business with whom you are a major shareholder (or key executive) file for bankruptcy protection. 

I think that is the distinction he is making.

Thank you Lily for bringing that up.

It is my understanding that Trump did not declare personal bankruptcy.  It was his Entertainment division in Atlantic City that did, and while he had been on the Board of Directors, he had actually quit the week before that entity declared bankruptcy due to " management differences" (not a direct quote but a paraphrase).

Kind of takes the wind out of most of this article, but the distinction needs to be made.  Trump and many other business people have seen this recession/depression coming for years.  They will ride this out and probably come out better than ever.

It reminds me of a quote from "Gone with the Wind" (the book, not the movie): Rhett, talking to Scarlett says something along the lines of " There are two times to make money, in the buildup of an empire and in the decline.  And it is faster and easier to make it in the decline"  I know I had to paraphrase that again, but you catch my drift.  People like Trump will take this sitution and work it to their advantage.

Trump is older and wiser, so now he hopefully realizes he hasn’t much of a choice in the matter, economically right now, so why fight this? His "ailment" is a given for his age. It just comes with the territory. An even at Carnegie Hall will help him.

Does the psychic foresee a good haircut in Trump’s future?  Just asking.
