Thats the point Right. THere was no fraud. It's how the process works,
There was fraud. That may have been Trump's process, but it wasn't a legal one. Whether Trump was always able to pay the bank on time doesn't change the fact that he committed fraud. No different than an embezzler who thieves from the company on a Friday and somehow manages to come up with it again by Monday before someone notices. You know how embezzlers eventually get caught? When someone notices that the money is short - because the embezzler couldn't pay it back.
In Trump's case, the most likely explanation is someone - likely a good lawyer or accountant - told him that if he makes any payment on time at all, make sure it's the banks that he conned. But even had he been short, he's so visible, so high-profile, he wouldn't have suffered the same fate as a lesser-than. Just like in the aftermath of 2008's financial crisis. The one bank the DOJ actually prosecuted was a family-run bank in China town, which had a tiny portfolio compared to the many other banks that had engaged in systemic fraud.
And that's what MAGA fanboys need to see here. He isn't you. He doesn't represent you. He doesn't have a fucking thing in common with you, and he sure as fuck doesn't care about anything other than you voting for him so he can get back in power. Donny does things that would land you or I in jail. The people who does business with - the bankers - they also do things that would land you or I in jail. They knowingly engage in shady business practices that would get the rest of us in trouble, and in doing so, they're jeopardizing the larger economy the longer they get away with it.
Stop supporting white collar criminals.
