And now the banks are running away from him
-
Deutsche Bank has been a huge enabler for his misconduct in the past; this will be very interesting.
Older stories that should be treated skeptically, but typically where there's smoke, there's fire...

On walkabout. Back soonish.

@just-jeepin weird how I felt relieved reading this.
-
@just-jeepin The Saudis and Russians will fund him. This is only the disclosed financiers. China also has a lot of his debt.
-
@just-jeepin Not a big sacrifice for them. I mean financing Trump was a pretty dubious decision for Deutsche Bank years ago, most other banks wouldn't touch him then. Now there's even less reason to take a risk.
@krustywantout They could, but why. Four years ago it would be a bargain to buy Trump's loyalty with a few hundred million in loans, gifts, or bribes, but now he's basically useless to foreign powers.

@facw I hope so but I don't underestimate Trump. His followers are fanatical. I wouldn't be surprised if foreign powers paid him to cause social disruption.
What we obtain too cheaply we esteem too lightly.
-
@just-jeepin They won’t work with him because he’s brought way too much attention to their criminal dealings, not because they give a shit about his politics.
-
@dipodomysdeserti But also because it's clear they aren't getting repaid.

@krustywantout I've always wondered if the SEC had the means to look into all those major trades, in the first couple years when he loved tweeting about __ company to see their stock jump or plunge 5%.
