I keep hearing people say "who does the president owe so much money to?" but we already have such a list of debts and creditors from his financial disclosure form. It's Deutsche Bank, etc. Am I missing something? https://twitter.com/tedfrank/status/1310566792826417154
Some of the stuff some of you are describing about how you think the Deutsche Bank loans work doesn't make any sense.
I think some of you are referring to this allegation, but this isn't what "underwrite" means, and your source is the non-banker son of a late DB banker. He was also a source for the NYT's David Enrich, who didn't follow this angle, presumably for a reason. https://forensicnews.net/2020/01/03/trump-deutsche-bank-loans-underwritten-by-russian-state-owned-bank-whistleblower-told-fbi/
The NYT article on Trump and Deutsche Bank makes DB look shady in a number of ways, some of which involve Russia, but it does not suggest that a Russian bank actually bears the credit risk associated with Trump's DB loans. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/04/magazine/deutsche-bank-trump.html
What David Enrich wrote in the NYT about the source for this article is that "he has a maddening habit of leaping to outrageous conclusions and then bending facts to fit far-fetched theories." And Enrich, keep in mind, has done damaging reporting on Trump and DB.
