you know that DB is not an American company right? Therefore they are not bound by American laws..... geez mach, even a ******* idiot knows that. 
Are you sure about that? They do quite a bit of business in the states.
Besides, they seemed to like to follow American law on at least one occassion:
Quote:Deutsche Bank AG on Thursday said U.S. law prohibits it from responding to questions from U.S. lawmakers about President Donald Trump and his possible ties to Russia without a legally proper request because of regulations protecting customer information.
Deutsche Bank cites US bank privacy laws in turning down lawmakers on Trump records
Not to mention this little diddy...
Quote:The Justice Department, along with federal partners, announced today a $7.2 billion settlement with Deutsche Bank resolving federal civil claims that Deutsche Bank misled investors in the packaging, securitization, marketing, sale and issuance of residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) between 2006 and 2007. This $7.2 billion agreement represents the single largest RMBS resolution for the conduct of a single entity. The settlement requires Deutsche Bank to pay a $3.1 billion civil penalty under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA). Under the settlement, Deutsche Bank will also provide $4.1 billion in relief to underwater homeowners, distressed borrowers and affected communities.
“This resolution holds Deutsche Bank accountable for its illegal conduct and irresponsible lending practices, which caused serious and lasting damage to investors and the American public,” said Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch. “Deutsche Bank did not merely mislead investors: it contributed directly to an international financial crisis. The cost of this misconduct is significant: Deutsche Bank will pay a $3.1 billion civil penalty, and provide an additional $4.1 billion in relief to homeowners, borrowers, and communities harmed by its practices. Our settlement today makes clear that institutions like Deutsche Bank cannot evade responsibility for the great cost exacted by their conduct.”

I think this book shows the man clearly suffers from dementia. What normal person repeats the same story over and over again in one conversation.

That's okay Obama was a delusional sociopath, so we've survived worse.

It is funny, but this writer is known for playing fast and loose with the facts. There are a lot of questionable quotes, errors, etc. I don't think too much stock can be put in his book. Some of it might well be true but the due diligence we should expect just isn't there.
My advice is to toss this one aside and wait until a real investigative journalist publishes something.
How exactly do you know this?
But FWIW - I was not planning on buying or reading the book.
Various commentators on the news channels have made a point to preface their discussions about the book with these acknowledgements. This guy isn't an investigative or political reporter. He is really an entertainment writer that has been around Trump for years. He does claim to have hours of recorded interviews but I wouldn't hold my breath on that. A lot of the book describes lengthy conversations that he is either transcribing from recordings or paraphrasing, though he doesn't seem to present them as paraphrases. He is no Woodstem or Berward.

To be fair most people only have a handful of stories and jokes. We tell them over and over with slight embellishments alterations, and improvements.

The president seems to be angry. Why is he so easily irritated? He should know why this is happening to him. I'm pretty sure I know who's behind it all.
