    If Trump starts insulting the banks and trying to impose control on them that would be a sight to see.

      If you can bully banks into giving Argentina $40 billion for nothing, then the whole world’s financial system seems to come into question.

        Lol ehat? Banks have been giving loans to Trump although he was deadass broke. If you still believe into any kind of integrity or logic in the world’s financial system, you’re in for a rough awakening.

          Russian ones, sure. They gladly fund a willing ass hat if it means the ruin of the US.

            No, he was using Deutsche Bank, the world’s dirtiest bank, for years. His money-laundering activities with Russian mobsters came to light when Deutsche Bank was investigated in the 90s. I was surprised he wasn’t arrested back then.

            That’s why his whining about Comey “spying” on him is such bullshit. The FBI wasn’t spying on him, they were investigating a known international criminal with extensive ties to Russian mobsters, which is literally their job.
