It turns out that Trump may have called in a major favor: Court records filed Friday show that the bond was guaranteed by the Chubb Corporation, an insurance group. In 2018, Trump appointed Chubb’s CEO Evan Greenberg to a White House advisory committee for trade policy and negotiations.

    These kind of favors are never about paying something back, it’s always a perverse version of paying it forward; this bond is only posted because there’s an expected future return on investment.

      If Trump wins, we are going to see either vp Evan or evan appointed head of the ftc.

      He’s getting some sort of high level cabinet position for sure.
