Which specific Trump Organization loans were still outstanding with Deutsche Bank after 2022 and what were their maturities?
Executive summary
Public reporting does not produce a single, uncontested list of individual Trump Organization loans that still sat on Deutsche Bank’s books after 2022; contemporaneous articles identify candidate loans (notably the Trump National Doral credit, the Old Post Office loan, and portions of Chicago- and hotel-related financings) and document a wave of payoffs and refinancings in 2021–2022 that removed some but left ambiguity about the remainder [1] [2] [3] [4].
1. The headline numbers: “about $340 million” vs. the documented payoffs and refinancings
Several outlets cite a round figure — that the Trump Organization owed Deutsche Bank roughly $340 million — when describing Trump’s outstanding relationship with the bank, a total that lumps multiple facilities together rather than naming a single loan instrument [5] [4]. At the same time, reporters documented concrete transactions in 2021–2022 that peeled specific Deutsche Bank loans off the books: the Old Post Office loan was paid off after the sale of Trump’s DC hotel, and the $125 million Doral loan was refinanced by Axos in May 2022, removing that particular Deutsche exposure from the bank’s portfolio according to contemporaneous reporting [2] [1] [3].
2. Trump National Doral — the clearest single loan, maturity dates, and its 2022 refinancing
Multiple stories identify a $125 million Deutsche Bank credit tied to Trump National Doral that was scheduled to mature in 2023; reporting also records that Axos refinanced that $125 million line in May 2022, meaning that by mid‑2022 that specific Deutsche obligation was reported as no longer on Deutsche’s books [6] [7] [1]. That refinancing is the most concrete example in the reporting of a named Deutsche loan with a stated maturity that was removed before or during 2022 [1].
3. Old Post Office and other large legacy loans — payoff and contested status
Reporting shows the Trump Organization used proceeds from the $375 million sale of the DC hotel (Old Post Office) to retire the related loan to Deutsche Bank; Business Insider and Forbes describe that payoff as part of a broader effort to satisfy or refinance maturing debt in 2021–2022 [2] [3]. Those accounts, together with reportage about Deutsche’s decision to “exit” the relationship, suggest several large facilities were resolved in the 2021–2022 window, but they do not lay out a full loan‑by‑loan schedule publicly attributable to Deutsche after 2022 [2] [1].
4. The Chicago loan, smaller maturities and the murk around 2023–2024 due dates
Longstanding Deutsche Bank financings for Trump Tower Chicago and other properties featured in past coverage (a $640 million Chicago financing historically), but by the 2020s reporting focuses on smaller remaining tranches and maturing principal amounts — for example, articles cite an estimated ~$45 million of Deutsche debt due in 2024 tied to one property and note other loans with maturities in 2023–2024 [8] [9]. Those pieces indicate that while big historical facilities existed, the post‑2020 landscape included smaller remaining maturities — yet the reporting does not provide a definitive, bank‑verified ledger of each outstanding Deutsche loan after 2022 [9].
5. Bottom line: named loans vs. disclosure contradictions — what can be stated with confidence
It can be stated with confidence that the Doral $125 million credit had a 2023 maturity in public filings and was refinanced by Axos in May 2022 [6] [1], and that the Old Post Office loan was paid off as part of debt reduction in 2021 [2]. Beyond those named items, outlets report a headline $340 million exposure attributed to Deutsche Bank [5] [4] and describe various maturities in 2023–2024, but the sources conflict on which facilities remained with Deutsche after the wave of 2021–2022 payoffs and refinancings, so a definitive list of “specific Deutsche Bank loans still outstanding after 2022 and their exact maturities” cannot be assembled from the provided reporting alone [3] [1] [4].
