Good for them; now Trump should put his foot up their ass when he gets the the opportunity.

Even if true, this is private information and whoever leaked it needs to be sued to hell and back.

what does this have to do with anything?

DB is at great legal risk for shady practices. This is them waving their lefty SJW flag so as to deflect some incoming flak.

It’s AWESOME to be able to flip the bird to “gerbilists” without even having to read their pig slop.

MAGA!

In personal life, debt is usually bad because it's just a drain out your resources. In business, debt can be good. If you borrow at a reasonable rate, you can continue or expand operations with returns that exceed the interest you are paying on the money you borrowed. In other words, you can make profit off what you borrow after you make your payments on it. Imagine if you could take a home equity loan at 2% interest, and you could buy a CD paying 3%. You could actually make money on the debt then. It's called leveraging the debt. In such cases, it's actually rational and smart to take on debt. I assume that "the king of debt" has a good sense of when he can make money using borrowed money and when he can't. So him having debt isn't any sort of red flag.

Lenders, of course, are free to make judgements on the debtor's ability to repay the debt and choose not to lend. This is a business transaction with both sides calculating the risks and deciding what they want to do. Trump decided he could afford to borrow, Deutsche Bank decided it didn't like the risk under the situation. It's just business.

Because you are exactly on point and the fact that the American public in fly-over land also recognize what the swamp and the main stream media want is to get rid of Trump and protect Hillary (only God knows why anyone would want to protect that witch) makes it so important that we support Trump...because if those leftist treasonists are somehow able to remove him, then we patriot gunowners have to swarm Washington and physically remove all the rats.

Re: “While other FReepers are picking this apart, you are promoting maximum pessimism.”

No, I'm not.

As I wrote in my Comment, the Democratic House leadership has publicly mentioned investigating the Trump-Deutsche Bank relationship several times.

This the first explanation I've seen.

Knowing what your political enemies are up to should be Rule #1 for Trump and every Conservative activist.

“Deutsche Bank, one of the few banks still willing to lend money to the man who has called himself “The King of Debt.”

This is so easy to prove wrong, just read Trump’s financial disclosure. There is very little debt compared to assets, all the liabilities are listed on page 45. One at Deutch Bank is in 2015 for Trump DC, not the campaign.

Thanks for the link.

I actually did not realize that Trump filed Financial Disclosure reports - so, mandatory, I guess?

Three non-Deutsche Bank items jump out at me...

Line 12 & 13 - two loans from 1993-94 - totaling less than $350,000 - not paid back until 2017 - 25 years later - what the heck was that all about? - keeping open a line of credit, maybe?

Line 14 - a 2012 springing loan for “over” $50 million - interest at “Prime + 5%” - Wow! - that would make me uneasy if I was one of Trump's creditors.

The creditor on line 14 is “Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC”.

The Trump Organization owns that company, it’s listed on line 23 on page 2.

Re: “Trump Organization owns that company”

Good catch. I missed that.

However, “Prime + 5%” is junk bond territory.

And “over” $50 million means exactly how much?

I Googled “Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC.”

8 million hits, so I'm not the first guy who noticed this.
