President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I'm sure that's fine.

How much does Trump owe his son's bank?

A billion?

 

LOL. Any evidence for this? An anonymous source doesn’t cut it. Your talking about months of negotiations. There would be evidence.

 

A story short enough for a tweet is always going to be thinly sourced and therefore should be regarded with skepticism. But negotiations in both private and public matters are often conducted without "evidence" emerging. Plausible deniability and all that.

 

Another rigged election!

 

Kennedy’s son owns a bank? LOL.

It’s sad to watch you devolve into a conspiracy theorist.

 

You guys did this with Bush too.

Trump is a complete idiot, right, who is a terrible negotiator.

But, he also successfully negotiated to get Kennedy out of office, allowing him to appoint more conservative successor, and left to trace of this.

LOL. Pick one.

 

Aren't you the one who originally posted this?

Inside the White House’s Quiet Campaign to Create a Supreme Court Opening

Mr. Trump was apparently referring to Justice Kennedy’s son, Justin. The younger Mr. Kennedy spent more than a decade at Deutsche Bank, eventually rising to become the bank’s global head of real estate capital markets, and he worked closely with Mr. Trump when he was a real estate developer, according to two people with knowledge of his role.

During Mr. Kennedy’s tenure, Deutsche Bank became Mr. Trump’s most important lender, dispensing well over $1 billion in loans to him for the renovation and construction of skyscrapers in New York and Chicago at a time other mainstream banks were wary of doing business with him because of his troubled business history.

 

LOL.

How's the Uranium One investigation going?

 

I'm sure it's fine.

 

And so what? He says Congresss should consider passing a law that considers exempting the president. If anything, that proves the point that the talking point is wrong—such a law would be wholly unnecessary unless he believed a president otherwise could be charged criminally.

 

He's off to a heck of a start.
