Dan Rather: A few people have asked why I vehemently oppose Trump.

Let me make this perfectly clear. It's not about politics. I've voted for both parties.

It's about me, as a patriot, rejecting a cheating, lying, racist, treasonous, fascist, and vile man who attacks the free press, and wants to lead the country I love.

It's really that simple.

The Totally Dodgy Backstory of the Bank that Just Refinanced Trump Tower

BREAKING NEWS: Don Hankey, the Insurance Carrier CEO Apparently Behind the $175 Million Trump Bond, Is a Trump Mega-Donor Who Has Already Been Written Up As Connected to a Shady Trump-Adjacent Financial Operation

1/ Hankey is a major investor in Axos, a shady “internet bank” that has bailed out Trump before *under extremely suspicious circumstances* and whose wealth is... from unknown sources, it seems.

2/ ROLLING STONE: “Axos is an unusual lender, steeped in controversy. Its CEO and top investors have strong financial ties to the GOP. And Axos appears to be solidifying its position as the Trump-family banker, having previously stepped in as a financier for the Kushner Company.”

3/ The New York Times-bestselling Proof Trilogy previously established, in Proof of Conspiracy (Macmillan, 2019), that there’s a history of hostile foreign nations seeming to try to get money to Trump through Kushner.

That there’s an Axos connection to this bond is *terrifying*.

4/ The fact that Hankey is connected to an obscure, dodgy, politically connected online bank that manages to participate in *huge* Trump-salvation projects despite having an *under $3 billion market cap* is raising red flags everywhere. This is less than Trump claims to be worth.
