Bank Determined Trump Wasn’t a Billionaire Taegan Goddard's Political Wire by Taegan Goddard ( Why do you guys insist on believing this lying con-man huckster, Dave? THIS is why no tax returns! LOL! ) Newsweek: “In that 2007 deposition, Trump said he based estimates of his net worth at times on ‘psychology’ and ‘my own feelings.’ But those feelings are often wrong—in 2004, he presented unaudited financials to Deutsche Bank while seeking a loan, claiming he was worth $3.5 billion. The bank concluded Trump was, to say the least, puffing; it put his net worth at $788 million, records show.” The kicker: “Trump personally guaranteed $40 million of the loan to his company, so Deutsche coughed up the money. He later defaulted on that commitment.”

From Robert Kagan, conservative intellectual: "Imagine such a person as president. What we have seen in the Trump campaign is not only a clever method of stirring up the anger in people.It is also a *personality defect* that has had the effect of stirring up anger. And because *it is a defect and not a tactic, it would continue to affect Trump’s behavior in the White House*.It would determine how he dealt with other nations. It would determine how he dealt with critics at home. It would determine how he governed, how he executed the laws, how he instructed the law-enforcement and intelligence agencies under his command, how he dealt with the press, how he dealt with the opposition party and how he handled dissent within his own party. His personality defect would be the dominating factor in his presidency, just as it has been the dominating factor in his campaign. His ultimately self-destructive tendencies would play out on the biggest stage in the world, with consequences at home and abroad that one can barely begin to imagine. It would make him the closest thing the United States has ever had to a dictator, but a dictator with a dangerously unstable temperament that neither he nor anyone else can control."
