The new backer of disgraced former President Trump’s deeply corrupt business empire tells the Washington Post on the record that the $225 million in cash his bank supplied to keep the sinking ship afloat for another year or two was totally legitimate and the fact that he’s a Republican who personally donated to the fat fuck’s 2020 campaign had nothing to do with his decision.
“It wouldn’t matter if I was friends with someone, I’m not going to make a loan that’s no good. I don’t like anyone that much,” said Axos Bank CEO Gregory Garrabrants, who indeed comes across as a douchebag who doesn’t get along with people, providing a convenient cover story. Public records show Axos lent the Trump Tower $100 million at a 4.25 percent interest rate and the Trump Doral $125 million loan at a 4.9 percent, each maturing in 10 years, but Garrabrants was unwilling to discuss other terms such as the long-term rate and what the collateral was. So yeah, he probably lent the money hoping for some political favors if Trump wins in 2024.
