Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It was definitely not directly from Trump.
Let me save you some trouble:
Wouldn't be the first time Trump has paid good money for a chubb
Of course it's the Chubb group. Of course. It's funny they are supposedly a huge corp, but the only time I hear about them is when they're meddling and buying politicians
I would love to know about more instances about this.
I wonder what kind of insane terms are on that loan
Not that it would matter. Trump doesn’t honor agreements.
Exactly. So what kind of terms would it take for someone to loan nearly 100m to someone like that?
Well, not financially anyway. Maybe a promise for a future political favor if he wins? Not that I'd accuse a Swiss financial interest of working with fascists...
I think he probably put up a building or two as collateral, kind of like a HELOC. If it's not paid back, they repo the building(s).
I hope they got their own appraiser, because the Trump org is infamous for making up numbers. Better check the paperwork at city hall, too, to make sure there are no undisclosed mortgages, leans, or easements on the property.
An institution capable of making risky loans of substantial size certainly should have high quality risk and valuation assessment capabilities.
I imagine it's fairly standard boilerplate for the situation 'You must install corporate fascism and give me a job with medals and stuff if we manage to lie and cheat you into power again'
so some of us premium payers took the risk, and he could send us a personal letter like he did when "He" sent us Covid Relief Checks.
