'I didn't need money': Trump bristles at report Deutsche Bank staff saw suspicious activity

President Donald Trump once again went after The New York Times on Twitter, this time to deny and deride its report that anti-money laundering specialists with Deutsche Bank flagged transactions involving himself and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

Software designed to identify illegal activity alerted the staff about the transactions, involving the now-shuttered Trump Foundation and business entities owned by Trump and Kushner, the Times reported Sunday, citing five current and former Deutsche Bank employees.

After reviewing the transactions, bank staff prepared to file suspicious activity reports to send to the Treasury Department. But the bank had issued loans worth billions of dollars to Trump and Kushner and bank executives directed the staff not to file the reports, according to the Times.

On Monday, the president railed against "The Failing New York Times" – which he claimed will "pass away when I leave office in 6 years" – and the "Fake News Media" in a series of tweets.

For a second I thought he said he was going to pass away in 6 years. He doesn't look all that healthy.

One way or another. He could get so "worried about it" that this inquiry could make him more "unhealthy"

They said there was suspicious activity with your accounts. Way to deflect.

...he ceased to need more money from another source.

Buy a house, invest the rest in an index fund, and live on the interest. Live on a budget equal to a middle-class lifestyle, and you'll have income indefinitely.


He WANTS money. Like most rich people, he's a hoarder of money because he's addicted to the power and attention it bestows. It feeds his ego, which. And, like most rich people, there is no amount that is "enough".
