Not quite the same but I keep having flashbacks to this

After a decade of profligate borrowing, Trump lacked the cash to make his loan payments. Although he owned hotels, skyscrapers, casinos and an airline, his debts exceeded the value of his properties by hundreds of millions of dollars.
Trump's lenders could have forced him into personal bankruptcy and stripped him of almost everything. But that didn't happen.
Instead, the bankers and investors to whom Trump owed money made a series of deals that left him wealthy. They let him keep some properties and took control of others, and they reduced Trump's personal debt by about $750 million, more than four-fifths of the total.
Then there was the time daddy bailed him out of his casino disaster.
Between short memories and hero warship 40% of the voting public will probably bail him out again
