Trump: "I didn't use many banks because I didn't (don't) need their money (old fashioned, isn't it)"

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

The Fake News Media loves the narrative that I didn’t use many banks because the banks didn’t like me. No, I didn’t use many banks because I didn’t (don’t) need their money (old fashioned, isn’t it?). If I did, it would have been very easy for me to get.

....And remember, a bank that I did use years ago, the now badly written about and maligned Deutsche Bank, was then one of the largest and most prestigious banks in the world! They wanted my business, and so did many others!

Trump reportedly took out $2 billion (TWO BILLION) in loans just from Deutsche Bank (link: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/18/business/deutsche-bank-donald-trump.html) nytimes.com/2019/03/18/bus…

And was constantly ridiculed for being turned downed by so many banks (because of his self-inflicted bankruptcies and stupid behavior).

They're not the only entity that has lowered its standards and is standing by putting trust in you. (Looking at you, America.)

Deutsche was his ONLY alternative. (Outside direct money from Russian mobsters)
