Nobody put a gun to deutsche Bank's head, and told them to lend Trump money!!
You might use the time you didn't spend reading Engoran's $355 MILLION dollar judgement

and read a bit about how Deutsche Bank's Private Banking arm's primary business in those days was laundering Russian Mafia money and re-think your statement that nobody put a gun to anyone's head.
He didn't borrow from the local Deutsche Bank branch teller or Assistant Manager wearing a clip on tie. Private Banking is something that even I don't really comprehend the more I learned more about it. But basically, it is being the go-between/broker between private or tightly held groups wanting to place or get money. This is the division
that lent Trump $300 million.
Interesting thing about Trump and Deutsche Bank's relationship. Some time in 2008/2009 when the financial market collapsed, Deutsche Bank's Commercial lending division called one of Trump's loans or an advance on a Chicago deal. Trump not only told them to fuck themselves, he claimed that the collapse was all banks faults and therefore they owed HIM billions! Lawsuit ensued.
For some strange reason, the lawsuit was discontinued and Deustche Bank-
Private Bank arranged a loan something like $300 million MORE! It was Russian money.

Deutsche Bank was embroiled in a vast money-laundering operation, dubbed the Global Laundromat. Russian criminals with links to the Kremlin, the old KGB and its main successor, the FSB, used the scheme between 2010 and 2014 to move money into the western financial system. The cash involved could total $80bn, detectives believe.
Deutsche is also under scrutiny in Washington over its financial dealings with Donald Trump. On 15 April, Democrats from the House intelligence and financial services committees issued a subpoena, demanding the bank provide documents about its lending to the president.
Over two decades, Trump borrowed more than $2bn from Deutsche. In 2008, he defaulted on a $45m loan repayment and sued the bank. Its private wealth division in New York subsequently loaned Trump a further $300m – a move that bemused insiders and which has yet to be fully explained.
In recent years, the bank has had a series of bruising encounters with international regulators. Between 2011 and 2018, it paid $14.5bn in fines, with exposure to dubious Russian money a regular theme.
