None of those articles back up the points made by the parent comment. It's a very big leap to go from "DB launders money for Russias" to "DB's loans to Trump had Russian counterparties" -- a completely unproven claim. As for Trump receiving Russian money for run-of-the-mill apartment sales, isn't this a giant reach? The customers for those products are traditionally wealthy foreigners. Why is it fundamentally different if he sells an apartment decades ago to a wealthy Russian versus a wealthy Luxembourgian banker? It's such a huge leap. Russians purchased apartments therefore he's backed by the Kremlin decades later? That's extraordinarily hard to believe, considering Trump was a major underdog when he announced and only became a frontrunner after Clinton's "pied piper strategy" elevated him deliberately.
