A former Deutsche Bank executive testified this week that the German financial behemoth only agreed to make massive loans to Donald Trump because of Trump’s vast personal fortune. The problem? The bank apparently thought, based at least partly on financial statements provided by Trump, that he was far wealthier than he really was.
Normal people applying for loan: “bend over and relax, I’m going to check your financial status inside out.”
Asshats like Trump apply: “he looks rich. Let’s give him all we’ve got.”
