butlers Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 He claimed to be worth $10 billion in his campaign for Pres in 2016. It's certainly true he stiffed so many banks his funding latterly came from Russian via the Bundesbank in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly true he stiffed so many banks his funding latterly came from Russian via the Bundesbank in Germany. I know that Deutsche Bank and Trumpet have what you might diplomatically describe as a "turbulent history" but since the Capitol riots in early January, even that bank are cutting ties with Trumpet: Deutsche Bank became the latest large company to cut ties with Donald Trump, with the firm that has propped up the Trump Organization for two decades reportedly announcing it would no longer do business with the disgraced president. The German bank’s move – reported by the New York Times – follows Wednesday’s deadly attack on the US Capitol building by a mob of Trump supporters. The number of corporations disassociating themselves from Trump is now turning into an avalanche. Deutsche Bank has been Trump’s most important lender. The Trump Organization, fronted by his two older sons, owes the bank about $340m in outstanding loans. After a series of bankruptcies in the 1990s, it was the only bank willing to give Trump money. The relationship has survived various scandals. In 2008, Trump sued the bank’s real estate division after he defaulted on a $40m repayment, used to fund the construction of the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago. He accused Deutsche of co-causing the financial crisis and demanded $3bn in compensation. Instead of dumping him as a client, Deutsche’s private wealth division stepped in and loaned him more money to pay off the existing debt. Deutsche has resisted efforts by Democrats in the House and Senate to explain its relationship with Trump – and to clarify if Russian state banks or entities underwrote some of his debts. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/jan/12/deutsche-bank-severs-ties-with-donald-trump I love the bit about Trump defaulting on a $40 MILLION payment, then suing for $3 BILLION in compensation. Classic Trumpet 🤣 I'm gonna try that with next month's council tax bill. Edited April 7, 2021 by The Joker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron99 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Gone & apparently forgotten. I can't believe how far this thread has slipped down the list, considering most have spent the last 4 years moaning about him. For those of us of a certain age. I wonder how this episode would have panned out? I bet the border was shut with Chigley? Edited April 25, 2021 by Baron99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butlers Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 He was in the news the other day about witholding aid from Peurto Rica and then obstructing an inquiry into it. Ben Carson was Secretary for HUD ( housing and urban development) at the time. Remember Trump tossing paper towels to people while totally denying the increasing death toll. Ben Carson is best remembered for his belief that the Pyramids were grain stores used by Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackey lad Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Does anyone know when Trump is likely to go to prison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes been cleared by Congress, and unless there are very murky tax affairs I dont think he go to prison. Might find he gets sued though, that wouldn't surprise me.

alchresearch Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 This article sums it up nicely Quote As I remarked, perhaps unwisely, to an audience the other night, the transition from Trump to Joe Biden has been like going from a daily crack pipe to a small bottle of low-alcohol beer once a week. The daily White House briefings now are a snoozefest. There are no fights, no name-calling. No middle-of-the-night Twitter storms, no payments to porn stars, no rollicking MAGA rallies. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56903805 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butlers Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 The WH Press Sec. is a world away from previous lot. She has a nice line in sass too, " I can confirm the President will be at work for the people and not spending his time in twitter spreading conspiracy theories" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
