What am I bid for control of the president of the United States?

What’s it worth to have Donald Trump’s golden boys—not Junior or Eric or Bannon, the other boys—in a vice? Trump owes money. A lot of money. And much of that he owes to a single not-so-scandal-free source, Deutsche Bank. Trump owes them at least $364 million. Because of Deutsche Bank’s many regulatory and fiscal issues, there’s a very real chance that those loans are going to soon be available at an auctioneer near you.

But wait! Don’t bid yet. Trump’s second biggest source of (known) debt is a a real estate investment firm, Ladder Capitol. Trump owes them $282 million, including a $100 million mortgage on the Manhattan White House—Trump Tower. And Ladder Capitol is almost certainly on the way out.

Ladder is working with Citibank to put itself up for sale. Meaning that someone, somewhere, may get a chance to acquire a set of unique golden puppet strings.
