First glance, thought this was about Trump.

Sounds similar to what Trump did to Deutsche Bank-maybe Sorokin and Trump compared notes before making these bank withdrawals

And only one fake german heir can do that! Right Mr. President?

Hillary voter

Ah, she took lessons from frump!

Trump defrauded banks, friends investors with his phony charity, real estate college. Hmmmm

She probably had a great time. I will read the book when ever she writes it.

You sure her last name isn’t TRUMP?

She should send her resume to the WH.

So a bit like the Social Security Administration?
