I was replying to your family values meme. But Trump is as owned by the banks as anyone. He has to finance his business deals with someone.

He owes very little to banks, very low debt to asset ratio.

Trump is as owned by the banks as anyone. He has to finance his business deals with someone.

He has a few mortgages on a few properties, as does virtually anyone whose business is real estate. He is as "owned" as anyone with a mortgage -- do you have a mortgage, and does your bank tell you how to vote?

What differentiates Trump is that he could pay off all mortgages with his cash flow from rentals alone, but like most businesspersons, he looks for the best tax arrangement, which sometimes includes having a mortgage so that interest payments can be used against income.

As to your former post about his cheating and bragging, you made the psychological error many women do whose lives would collapse if they caught their husband cheating: you expressed his past behavior (and the anecdotes about cheating written long ago) in the present tense as a current fact, which is not supported by any evidence.

He has been with Melania for 18 years, seems to have found the best type of partner for himself in her, and they have been married for more than ten years. They were married before she had her son, and she takes him to church. I haven't run across any cheating stories. Can you point me to one?
