This has been posted before and debunked too. Donald Trump didn't get those loans. They went to the construction companies building his buildings. Banks are obligated to make these loans if the the company meets their requirements. Completely different than Bank Executives lining the pockets of political campaigns to gain influence.

Yeah I saw that too. Even JEB and Hillary didn't resort to that underhanded tactic.

Proof from a credible source please?

Oh and just because these banks and corporations aren't forming SuperPacs and funding Trump's campaign directly, you are seriously fooling yourself if you think he's not in bed with them and getting money from them.

Credible? How about the same site that you posted from. All that money went to construction projects which banks have an obligation to make. Donald Trump is OWNED by Every Bank on Wall Street | RedState

You are simply parroting the opinion of that anti-Trump website.


It's got nothing to do with Ted Cruz being bought and paid for by Donors seeking influence.

But what's the point, even if that is true? Does Donald Trump have much to lose by flipping them the bird if he doesn't agree with them? You can say what you will about Donald, but it's abundantly clear that he is the one calling the shots in his campaign, and he gives the American public every reason to believe he will be the one to call the shots if he is elected president. Therein lies his appeal, and as it stands, it's a fact quite beyond reproach. It's why he can get by with not having exceptional debating skills like Cruz or overall public speaking skills that appeal to peoples' emotions like Rubio. And it's why he can get away with not providing details. His supporters want him to lead, not be a subject matter expert. The assumption is that he will choose the right people to do that.

Yep, he's going to need their SuperPac money if he wins the GOP nomination. Maybe they wont give it to him though, they've already told him to **** off once when he tried to get their money...

You should take time to read these articles that you google up. It clearly says that Cruz is bought & paid for by the Koch brothers and others in the donor class and links to this as proof.

Trump wasn't there.


Thank you for proving the OP.
