More info on NYT article by David Enrich on Trump & Deutche Bank (reason why Trump has melted down)

Last edited Tue Mar 19, 2019, 11:34 AM - Edit history (1)

Special thanks to ..catbyte for original info and posting of this article. Here is a link to that original article. It is still being discussed here in this Discussion Forum. Hit link to see original story:


https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211933153

___________________________________________________________________________________
This is not just any article written by anybody. David Enrich is the financial editor of the New York Times. Further, Enrich has a book coming out that proves the sordid relationship between Deutsche Bank and Trump. A relationship which is questionable at best. Why? Most banks and financial institutions knew that Trump was a bad risk, but Deutsche Bank took the risk anyway. Two CEO of Deutsche Bank evidently worked with Trump to get these loans and the Bank knew of his financial risk ahead of time. Deutsche Bank is currently in talks for a merger with another bank that would change the name of the institution.

...Enrich knows of this situation and the book describes it. Therefore, what is coming out is proof that Trump lied about his financial situation, and proof that a bank covered these lies. If this last statement is true, and the book will prove it, then this could explain the melt down of Trump. Proof is coming about Trumps various lies about his finances. Keep in mind, today is Tuesday, 4 days after the meltdown on Friday. Trump may have had advance news on the coming story in the NYT, and also the coming book by Enrich on Trump's financial lies and Deutsche Bank. Keep in mind this idea...: Absolute proof of Donald Trump lying about his finances, is the last thing Trump needs now. Proof that he is a lying asshole is not what Trump wants since he is calling the author of the book a liar cheat.

Please Note...If you hit the original link above, you will also have links to the NY Times stories about Trump

Here is one of the links to the story, again special thanks again to ... catbyte

2. Would Trump have won the election if all of this "questionable info" had been out ahead of time?

Yes, protected in some ways, but not in many ways. This info in the NYT could prevent Trump from getting future loans. Trump may need those loans, just to stay "rich." Who knows? I sure don't

6. The Democratic House of Representatives can do just that.
Tue Mar 19, 2019, 11:23 AM

And if that is done, that investigation could be extremely damaging to Trump and his family. Also, keep this in mind, that investigation could not have happened, (or will not happen) if we had not won the majority in the House of Representatives last November. And that is why ..."Elections have consequences"

..Also keep this idea in mind too. The House of Representatives investigated Hillary Clinton's emails forever. Republicans cannot use the excuse that an investigation is "unfair" since the Hillary investigation went on for so long. Hillary's emails became a laughing issue across the country. What was in those "emails?"

...But Trump's financial connections are not beyond investigation since he does indeed have some "questionable relationships" which everyone agrees on. No matter who you are, most people who have at least read about all of this, know Trump has close ties (even if they are legal) with Russian businessmen. Very close ties. This coming book could be the final straw that takes Trump and his family down. (note: I said could be..anything can happen and already has)

5. And it was just a coincidence that Justin Kennedy, son

of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy who abruptly resigned, was the head of the real-estate division of Deutsche Bank at the time it gave Trump over $1 billion in loans to finance his real-estate projects when other banks wouldn't.

You can't make this stuff up.

8. So Anthony KENNEDY's spawn was the link or who (else)? Plus what was the bank's motive?

Another article said that bank officials were "enticed" with riding SHITLER's private plane and weekends at swamp-a-Lago, and taking him on for the loans attracted (more desirable in the loan sense) clients. Is that the game?

13. Deutsche Bank was laundering Russian mob money at the same time

Trump Casinos laundered Russian mob money too. They were all in a cozy cabal including Wilbur Ross's Bank of Cyprus with Manafort playing a pivotal role.

They found a shill that was able to pass himself off to the deplorable and land in the WH.

Arguably the most successful long con in political history.

9. By far the biggest threat to Trump
Tue Mar 19, 2019, 12:01 PM

is being exposed as having a lot less money and business acumen than he's constantly portraying. He sold himself to voters as a the smart, rich businessman. When he's exposed as the garden variety grifter he is, whatever's left of his luster will be gone.

TBH, I believe that's the "kompromat" Putin has on Trump - that Putin knows Trump's a fraud and huckster because of all the money he's gotten from Russians/Russian banks over the years and Putin can easily destroy Trump with just a few well-timed and well-placed truths.

duetche bank investigators need to keep eyes out for money going to limbaugh. that kind of exposure would really destroy the base's artificially enhanced bigglyness.

limbaugh and sons are basically viagra, or penile crutch, for the 'trump base'
