That's pretty damned sleazy.
I'd think it would be illegal, since he owed the banks money.
You know DB of all the Trump cultists you may be the only one saved from the fire
HA!
Obama did it before Trump but that doesn't excuse Trump.
Bailouts, pardons, all bullsh#t

The thread title is a lie. The 5 banks were not pardoned. They were given a waiver on their fines....
1) They paid their fines and did their time. You want to keep fining them ? Thats called extortion
Many here found the earlier thread on this topic and have already wormed and squirmed, bent over backward and done somersaults to justify his action.

I mean who cares about what Trump does right? MAGA.
You might as well just repeat the above. Pretty much what you and others say on here. That's it.
They haven't been pardoned!

This Deutche bank (however you spell it) fiasco has been brewing for a long time, well before Trump.
I was expecting a massive bailout, they are a huge bank.

Agreed - but delaying it 3 and 5 years is still ridiculous. If he wins another term, he'll extend it again. Considering he is reverting absolutely everything Obama put into place, seems a conflict of interest, what with all the banking he has done with them, and the money he owes them. I mean consider.. he proclaimed that the U.S. recognized Jerusalem the capital of Israel, upending 70 YEARS of U.S. Presidents doing this, to keep a modicum of peace, and not upsetting the apple cart. But he even did this.. because Obama.
But apparently it's ok to further put off the fines owed by criminal banks? HuH!

( Trump) He pardoned five megabanks for rampant fraud and corruption, which is especially notable because of the amount of money he owes them. Trump has been using Deutsche Bank since the 1990s, and Financial Times has reported that he now owes the bank at least $130 million in outstanding loans secured in properties in Miami, Chicago, and Washington. However, the report claimed that the actual number is likely much larger at $300 million. Reports claimed that Deutsche was the only bank willing to lend Trump money after his companies faced multiple bankruptcies. The relationship has continued over the years, and an analysis from the Wall Street Journal claimed that Trump has received at least $2.5 billion in loans from Deutsche Bank over the last 20 years.
Trump is going to clean up the swamp eh?
Trump constantly does things to make the tabloid and ratings hungry MSM keep their eyes off the ball and then goes and does corrupt actions that no body sees.
Here he pardons a bank that he owes millions of dollars to...
The banks were involved in the LIBOR Scandal, in which they colluded to deliberately depress the rate at which they paid out on investments. By suppressing the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) at the beginning of an economic crisis in 2007, the megabanks were able to boost their earnings and to give their customers a false sense of security. Deutsche Bank pled guilty to wire fraud in a U.S. court in 2015, and it went on to pay $3.5 billion for its role in the LIBOR scandal—more than any other bank involved—before it reached a $7.2 billion settlement with the Justice Department in early 2017.
Trump is the most corrupt president in the history of America and it will get worse as he does crazy things like call non white countries sh__ holes and makes the press obsesses over that and then turns around and does things like this.
