Draining the swamp: Trump and Deutsche Bank

A new book out by a financial reporter (of the MSM, no less) examoins the rise of Deutsche bank from a stodgy investment bank to a dodgy and corrupt profit machine. The bank managed to become the conduit for Russian kleptocrats and money laundering.

White Water was condemned as an example of crass exploitation of the system by the power elite (as opposed to a nothing burger), "Too big to Fail" was condemned by those opposed to the reaction to the financial crisis of 08. Both summarize Trump's business record.

In 2016 and 2017, the phrase "draining the swamp" was a rallying cry for Team Trump. I guess it has run its course, and is less important now that Trump, the reality TV star , has shown himself to be a swamp creature.

Ahhh, for the good old days of Bill Clinton and his scandals!

Trump's business empire underwritten by Russian bankers! No wonder Team Trump is avoiding this. Even after Trump decided to run for this nation's highest office, he continued his plans to license his name, a Trump Hotel in Moscow.
