In another forum, one participant is a very high-ranking former New York banking executive, now retired. I’ll call him Burt. Burt, who himself is not a Trump supporter, recently argued that bankers he knew who had heard Trump pitch his business deals would probably not vote for him. He made no mention of any specific objection these bankers might have had, any impropriety they might have observed, nor did he note the fact that Trump’s business was much sought after by New York and international banks - all of whom made good money on him, including the banks Trump supposedly took advantage of (according to the ongoing court case) by overstating the value of his assets in order to get better loan terms - exactly the kind of back-and-forth, due diligence negotiation that goes on every day in the real estate business between developers and the banks that fund them.
