There’s a lot of variations of that old saying about owing a bank $1000 vs. $1,000,000, but unfortunately the one that applies to people like Trump is something like “if you owe the bank $1,000 they’ll treat you with no mercy, but if you owe the bank $1B they’ll become your biggest, most enthusiastic promoters.” Banks that are owed big by him don’t want the Trump “brand” to lose value because it reduces the chances that they’ll ever get paid back. And their incentive to protect his brand is a huge problem for all of us.
