Your premise is not false, but the Trump family is not 'the common man getting cut off from the system'.

Their speech suggestes they got debanked. But what actually happened is that banks refused to loan them money.

I do not think anyone has a sacred right to lend money in order to invest in real estate.

If they were refused the loans because of political liability, it’s no different.

I’m so fucking sick of short-sighted rubes cheering for corruption used against their enemies, and acting shocked when it inevitably gets turned on everyone else after the precedent is set.
