According to the NYT Trump Tax revelation, Trump owes at least 421 million in personally guaranteed loans that will be coming due as early as 2022.
Who does he owe that to? People strapped with significant debt cannot get even get the lowest level security clearance to work in the White House. It’s too easy for foreign powers to influence people like this. Yet here we are with Trump as President owing nearly half a billion.
Meanwhile Trump has been receiving millions of dollars from “foreign sources” such as Turkey, India, from the Philippines. That’s not allowed, under the emoluments clause. But pffft, since when are rules a thing? Other people have contributed millions to his campaign and ended up as ambassadors. In exchange for paying Trump off, some have gotten pardons. I wonder what he has done for these foreigners?
Trump’s Miss Universe pageant has lost money regularly every year, except when it moved to Russia in 2013, when it suddenly made millions.
