America’s interests least of Trump’s concerns

-

Boo Hoo — the “wicked local and national media” called the election for Joe Biden, just as they did for Trump in 2016. Who’s the snowflake now?

Since Election Day Trump has stayed hunkered down in the White House, only venturing out to lay a wreath at the tomb of unknown “suckers and losers,” and later to give a rambling self- congratula­tory speech on all he’s done to save America from the COVID-19 virus. Point of interest: in 10 days after the election 11,000 Americans died of the coronaviru­s; Trump could care less; he was busy getting in a few rounds of golf at taxpayer expense.

Truth be told Donald Trump doesn’t give a damn about America’s interests. During a May 2017 closed door oval office meeting with Russian officials he disclosed highly classified informatio­n. This willingnes­s to disclose national security secrets without regard for his own country’s national security makes him a highly sought-after target by our internatio­nal adversarie­s.

Deutsch Bank is currently looking to unload $340 million in unpaid Trump loans. This along with Trump’s personally guaranteed $400 million in loans owed to foreign entities. Who’s this money owed to and who might want to buy the Deutsche Bank’s loans?

That kind of money will buy a lot of America’s national security secrets. Donald Trump is a flawed human being every time he opens his mouth. For prospectiv­e buyers of these loans whose goal is to destroy America’s standing in the world, Trump’s mouth will open wide.
