As I was watching the debate and reading Karen Ho’s article “Situating Global Capitalism’s: A View from Wall Street Investment Bank,” the topic of releasing Trump’s taxes came up, as well as his debt to international banks and companies, which supposedly totaled around and maybe over 650 million. That number, though not only unbelievably high, is confusing on how it is actually possible. After reading Ho’s article, and the way she highlights how banks have used capitalism on a global scale to essentially sell and benefit from their own game. Similar to Trump, Wall Street has bragged and marketed the innovations of capitalism, technology, and the overall global market, and how it can and will help a majority of people, but in reality this is a lie. What is even more concerning is how long these lies about the productiveness of capitalism have been in place and will probably stay in place. Watching Trump brag about his business exploits during multiple parts of the debate, which literally had nothing to do with anything business, finance, or money in general was a hit to my soul because his marketing, though ill timed and out of place, is similar to the marketing that goes on everyday around the world. Large companies and banks promise the world only so they can take over the world. Power and money are the only things that matter (Romare, 2016). After watching the debate and doing the simplest of Google searches, Trump’s 650 million dollar debt still seems ludicrous in its existence, but within the context of global capitalism, and the exploitative marketing that is used, his debt made just a little more sense. The video below, though a little ridiculous at points, gives quick explanations to how some of his debt was created through global capitalism.
