We need to expand on our discussion of Trump and his debt issues. Mostly, we, as Americans, need to understand who Trump owes this money to. For those who do not realize, this is a matter of national security.
His debt is almost a half a billion dollars. We need to be worried about who actually owns this debt. There are many differing ramifications from the various possibilities.
Let us say, for instance, that his debt is only owned by a bunch of Wall Street bond jocks. That isn’t so bad, is it? At least it is owned by Americans, right? Wrong. We already know that Trump was more than willing to sell out rank and file Americans to ensure the richest of the rich got billions in tax breaks while breaking the treasury. That happened his first year in office.
Let’s imagine that his debt is owned by a criminal enterprise. Remember, Donald is leveraged to the hilt. He has no way to pay this money back when it comes due. What kind of favors… what federal prosecutions would just disappear as a favor? All he would need to do is find an Attorney General willing to be loyal to him over the US Government. That could never happen, could it? Except it already has with William Barr.
Maybe we should look at a third possibility. What if that debt is owned by a foreign government? A government like Russia. How would this be possible? They would need a bank that they could launder the money through. No bank would do that, would they? I mean, Deutsche Bank is reputable, right? There are no investigations into them for money laundering, are there? Yes, there are.
But, why would the Russians do this? Maybe to gain control in areas of the world that have been previously protected by US interests. As part of the bargain, the reputation of the US is destroyed internationally. But why should that matter as long as Trump finally gets his tower in Moscow?
But, why would Trump actually allow Russia all of this just for a hotel? It seems like Russia would have to have something else on him to ensure his compliance. It has always seemed odd to me that Russians buy an inordinate amount of Trump properties in the US, and around the world for higher than market value. Why would they do this? There could be no reason other than… money laundering for the Russian mob and corrupt politicians.
It would be very bad indeed if this information was ever made public. Donald would not be a happy man. Maybe Donald should kiss Putin’s ass at every available opportunity. Yeah, that would certainly help.
Of course, maybe none of this is true. Then again… maybe all of it is true.
