This comes as a huge surprise. I’d never even considered Trump would have taken Russian money. Not like Trump had difficulty obtaining loans from western institutions.
Is it illegal for Americans to get loans like this? Or is this an attempt to re-awaken the already disproved Russia/Trump collusion narrative? How many of you that have got loans know how the banks transact with each other? I don't. I get a loan, all I know is a write a check every month to that bank. This is really a stretch and I get you want to try to connect dots that since DB worked with VTB that it means Trump and Putin are colluding to develop nuclear weapons and blow up the world and the only one who can save us is Bernie Sanders, but I think you're really reaching on this one.
The Russian state bank VTB underwrote loans to Donald Trump via Deutsche Bank. Over the course of Trump's relationship with DB, an inordinate amount of questionable, mismanaged & risky loans approved by Deutsche Bank to Trump required his Personal Guarantee which, over time, also lost its value. This your personal history when you get a loan? I think you are far too quick to try and join the dots to absolve Trump of any wrong doing. By the way, this is the same Trump who you think is doing a great job with the finances of the United States. He can’t even run his own business.
I'd link to the original article, but looks like the Russian troll farm is busy ddosing the website. That or too much traffic: Here's a lefty article for those too lazy to read the facts posted above: https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2020...-loans-from-Deutsche-Bank-were-back-by-Russia Still waiting for more legitimate reporting confirmation.... Never really heard of forensic news
Yes, many times when you apply for a loan through your business, the bank asks for a personal guarantee to secure to loan.
