    Trump could ask Saudis to pay his legal bills.


    'Legal wrinkle': Expert says Trump could ask 'Saudis' to pay legal judgment

    excerpt:

    "I mean, particularly now for Donald Trump, he can't borrow from a New York bank," said Bernstein. "I want to say for Donald Trump, I've gone through a lot of practice of reporting and believing, oh, yeah, no one's going to like him now. No one's going to like him after he defaulted on all his loans, Deutsche Bank was never going to lend to him again after he defaulted on them, and they were the subject of this trial. After January 6th, nobody was going to lend to him or do business with him. But he finds people. For example, the Saudis, who have been obviously paying Jared Kushner and also Trump through the golf course, is through the LIV Golf circuit, which has turned out to be immensely profitable. So there are always people around Donald Trump who believe if he's president, it's actually a small investment to help him out."

    The Saudi royals would be a far bigger funding source than the head of Axos bank who bailed out Trump when he had $100 million of loans due and other banks had already dumped him.

    Article from April 2022.


    Trump used to borrow from big banks. Now look who's lending him money.

    excerpt:

    "In mid-February, Axos refinanced a $100 million Trump Tower mortgage due in September, a New York City Finance Department document shows. The new loan was made just days after The Trump Organization’s auditor resigned, saying that 10 years of the company’s financial statements could not be relied upon."

    The Trump campaign has morphed from a presidential campaign into a venture of begging people for donations of half a billion dollars to pay for losses of his four criminal case and his civil cases (that he says he 'won').

    That includes the effort to commandeer the RNC and give Trump all of its money (what's left of it after being run by Trump-supporting chuckleheads).

    Trump’s crushing fraud trial defeat is a microcosm of a life defined by breaking all the rules | CNN Politics

    excerpt:

    "So his devastating loss Friday in a New York fraud case that threatens the empire on which he built his art of the deal mythology encapsulates more than a legal defeat.

    It offers a character study of the behavior, beliefs and worldview that define the DNA of an irrepressible figure and unchained force who is again tearing at American unity, institutions, democracy and the rule of law as another contentious election looms.

    A trial, which Trump tainted with histrionics and contempt for the judicial system, and Judge Arthur Engoron’s final, stinging judgment, revealed four foundational codes that explain Trump’s tumultuous path through a life that he simply sees as an endless stream of business and political deals he must close.
    • Trump thinks rules are for other people. He will always break them in seeking more wealth, more attention, or more votes.
    • If reality doesn’t get the ex-president what he wants, he conjures a new one.
    • Trump is compelled always to fight — even when stepping back would be smarter.
    • And when accountability finally arrives, he sees justice as an act of persecution by his enemies."

    Trump should consider setting up an international dictatorship slush fund to pay his legal bills and judgments against him.

    It could include dictators like Putin, Jong-un, Duerte, Orban, bin Salman, Erdogan, and Jingpin.

    Trump can have regular meetings with them known as the D-8 summit.

    Navalny appears to be the latest victim of Putin.


    Forget insurrection. Trump aiding the enemy is treason.

    excerpt:

    "Aleksei Navalny, hero to the free world, has joined the tragic line of Vladimir Putin critics who met untimely poisonings, exploding planes and defenestrations from high-floor windows.

    His murder in a Siberian prison makes it all the more disgusting that any American presidential candidate would embrace a thug like Putin, and questions whether enablers of Donald Trump, who just invited Russia to attack the United States’ closest of allies,have any concept of world history."

    Trump demands that NATO pay its bills in full (Trump said during an interview said he has the right to pay back only half of what he owes banks).

    Trump also wants U.S. money to NATO to be loans that NATO will be required to pay back in full. If they don't comply to his will, then he will allow Putin to do whatever he wants to NATO countries.

    Three years later, some Minnesota Republicans show sympathy toward Jan. 6 rioters

    excerpt:

    "Rosemarie Westbury of Lindstrom, whose husband and three sons face federal charges related to Jan. 6, framed that day as inspirational, not insurrectionist.

    "Was there some violence? I suppose there was," Westbury, who was not charged related to the Capitol violence, said at the Fergus Falls event. "I personally didn't see it, except when the police were lobbing these grenades and flash-bangs out at us."

    Minnesota DFL chair Ken Martin said "this revisionist history is just completely unacceptable."

    "This wasn't just some sort of group of tourists that were strolling through the Capitol sightseeing," Martin said."

    Trump made the same remark about the riot at the Capitol during an interview. He said sheepishly that maybe some people did some things they shouldn't have.

    He never talked that way about BLM protests. He wanted mandatory ten-year prison sentences for defacing a monument.

    In 2019 Trump sued Deutsche Bank and Capitol One to try to stop their compliance with a Congressional subpoena.

    Trump was upset with Congress but sued the banks.


    Trump Sues Deutsche Bank and Capital One to Block Compliance With Subpoenas (Published 2019)

    excerpt:

    "In the suit, they argue that a lack of legislative purpose to the subpoenas makes them illegal.

    “‘Oversight’ and ‘transparency,’ in a vacuum, are not legitimate legislative purposes that can justify subpoenaing a private citizen,” the suit says. “For more than a century, in fact, the Supreme Court has been quite ‘sure’ that neither the House nor Senate ‘possesses the general power of making inquiry into the private affairs of the citizen.’”

    Kerrie McHugh, a Deutsche Bank spokeswoman, said, “We remain committed to providing appropriate information to all authorized investigations and will abide by a court order regarding such investigations.”"
