Update on my earlier post on the origins of Trump's bond.

In short there was nothing normal about trump's bond. As it happens, the CEO of the Chubb Group, home of Federal Insurance Company, is one self made nepo baby by the name of Evan Greenberg. In 1918 Trump appointed Greenberg to the White House Advisory Committee for trade policy and negotiations. So Trump called in a chit. No due diligence. Possibly no actual collateral. The way I see it, Trump is on the hook for another favor.

The SOB is massively compromised. He can't be allowed confidential intelligence briefings.

Me thinks something absolutely stinks!

there’s plenty ways to criticize trump other than misinformation and conspiracies over a bond.

the underwriting, risk assessment, terms, etc.

In any event, this ensures Carroll gets paid.

He would like some transparency.
Was there a co-signer.
What is the collateral.
What are the terms of the loan?

Greenberg to underling: "Give it to me. I'll sign it. You take care of the paperwork!"

The bond may be legit, but we need to make sure.
This is Trump after all.

If he can find a way to screw someone he will.
