Trump's Monday morning rant on how he doesn't need to borrow money from Deutsche Bank inspite of numerous reports about his transactions there being flagged.
David Enrich:
This is not true. I have spent a long time looking into this, and @DeutscheBank was the only bank willing to lend to @realDonaldTrump for 20 years because of his pattern of defaults and the bank’s hunger for growth in the US.
Donald J. Trump
The Failing New York Times (it will pass away when I leave office in 6 years), and others of the Fake News Media, keep writing phony stories about how I didn’t use many banks because they didn’t want to do business with me. WRONG! It is because I didn’t need money. Very old
....fashioned, but true. When you don’t need or want money, you don’t need or want banks. Banks have always been available to me, they want to make money. Fake Media only says this to disparage, and always uses unnamed sources (because their sources don’t even exist)......
The Mainstream Media has never been as corrupt and deranged as it is today. FAKE NEWS is actually the biggest story of all and is the true ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! That’s why they refuse to cover the REAL Russia Hoax. But the American people are wise to what is going on.....
....Now the new big story is that Trump made a lot of money and buys everything for cash, he doesn’t need banks. But where did he get all of that cash? Could it be Russia? No, I built a great business and don’t need banks, but if I did they would be there...and DeutscheBank......
.....was very good and highly professional to deal with - and if for any reason I didn’t like them, I would have gone elsewhere....there was always plenty of money around and banks to choose from. They would be very happy to take my money. Fake News!
Interesting how he shifts from first person to third and back again. Psychological and personal identity problems maybe! Unless of course the person that he dictates the writing of his tweets to got distracted!
David Frum:
Trump's finances are the original "many secrets, no mysteries." He's up to his eyeballs in debt. His business partners don't pass the smell test. Trump properties cannot monetize the presidency - eg Chicago hotel - lose money. So he's squeezing dimes out of favor-seekers.
If Trump doesn't borrow from non-DB banks because he "doesn't need money" - then why did he borrow $11 million from a small FL bank to finance purchase of a house from his sister? And why was CEO of that bank promptly rewarded with appointment to his local Federal Reserve board?

He makes taxpayer money with his travel to his own properties to play golf. And by charging the Secret Seevice rent in Trump buildings.
And you wonder he doesn’t want his taxes or financial reports released. Would show what kind of fraud he really is.
