Trump Unable to Pay Salaries of His Own Transition Team
One would think that a real billionaire would be able to fund these salaries out of petty cash or float a few bank loans for it:
Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) told a Buffalo area radio station: “Mr. Trump held a fundraiser down in New York City a few weeks back and did raise some money, but they have – I would use the word – ‘struggled’ to raise the private funds needed to pay these individuals who are working on behalf of the taxpayers but not being paid by the government.”
The ferret-wearer’s options are limited:
- no U.S. bank will touch Donald J. Trump ever again
- Deutsche Bank is teetering as it is
- he already owes the Chinese several hundred million last I saw
- Putin doesn’t dare front him the sum, through Alfa Bank or any other entity
