Early life
Vrablic grew up in New York,[2] the daughter of Joseph S. Vrablic (died 7 April 2005) and Bernice Vrablic.[3] She attended The Ursuline School in New Rochelle, New York,[1] and earned a bachelor’s degree from Fordham University and an MBA from Pace University.[4]

Career
Vrablic began her career as a bank teller, before moving into in private banking in 1989, working for Citigroup and then Bank of America, before joining Deutsche Bank in 2006.[5][2][4][6] She got her start in private banking in 1989 when she was still a bank teller, living with her parents in Scarsdale, New York, after a chance two-hour train conversation with Howard Ross, the then-chief credit officer of Bank Leumi.[1]

Donald Trump
Vrablic has been Trump’s personal banker.[6] Trump began working with Deutsche Bank in 1998, securing a loan for renovations at 40 Wall Street and a $300 million loan for Trump World Tower.[7] Trump borrowed $640 million from the bank for Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago, offering a $40 million personal guarantee.[7] After the 2008 financial crisis Trump was unable to make loan payments, so he sued the lender for $3 billion in damages, alleging “Deutsche Bank is one of the banks primarily responsible for the economic dysfunction we are currently facing”.[7] Deutsche Bank responded by suing Trump to collect on the loan.[7]

Vrablic’s wealth management unit at Deutsche Bank then loaned Trump the money he needed to pay the bank’s real estate division.[7] She then gave him another loan on the Chicago project.[7]

Vrablic was relatively unknown on Wall Street outside of the private banking sector until Trump mentioned her in early 2016,[8] when he inaccurately described her as “the head of Deutsche Bank” and “the boss”.[9][10] Vrablic sat in the VIP section at Trump’s swearing-in ceremony.[11] After Trump’s election, Deutsche Bank attempted to restructure about $300 million in loan debt originated primarily by Vrablic, in an attempt to avoid potential conflicts of interest.[12]

Other clients
In addition to Trump, Vrablic’s other clients include Stephen M. Ross and Jared Kushner.[7][5] In 2017 Kushner and his mother had a personal unsecured line of credit from the bank for $5 to $25 million.[7] In 2016, the bank loaned Kushner Companies $285 million to buy several floors of The Times Square Building from Africa Israel Investments.[7] Kushner also issued a mortgage-backed security for the Puck Building through Deutsche Bank.[7]

In 2013, Vrablic was managing assets valued at $5.5 billion on behalf of about 50 clients, 40% of whom had made their money in real estate.[2] Her clients include Herbert Simon, the billionaire owner of the Indiana Pacers.[2]

Personal life

Vrablic lives on Park Avenue, New York, in a duplex apartment formerly owned by Phillip R. Bennett, sentenced to 16 years in prison in 2008 for financial fraud.[1]

Mancinblack points-out this Tablet article and remarks on its YKW fretting about their liberal, anti-White left ethnonationalist coalitions coming back to intersectionality against Jewish interests - and the liberal White Shabbos goy. The YKW response, to cheer-on and further instigate the destruction of their White liberal shabbos-goy: “Being hoisted by their own petard? some interesting stats here that could be transposed to other white countries.”

AMERICA’S WHITE SAVIORS

White liberals are leading a ‘woke’ revolution that is transforming American politics and making Democrats increasingly uneasy with Jewish political power

By Zach Goldberg
June 5, 2019:

A sea change has taken place in American political life. The force driving this change is the digital era style of moral politics known as “wokeness,” a phenomenon that has become pervasive in recent years and yet remains elusive as even experts struggle to give it a clear definition and accurately measure its impact. Where did it come from? What do its adherents believe? Is it just something happening inside the Twitter bubble and on college campuses or is it really spreading across the social and cultural landscape and transforming the country as sometimes appears to be the case? In reality, “wokeness”—a term that originated in black popular culture—is a broad euphemism for a more narrow phenomenon: the rapidly changing political ideology of white liberals that is remaking American politics.

Over the past decade, the baseline attitudes expressed by white liberals on racial and social justice questions have become radically more liberal. In one especially telling example of the broader trend, white liberals recently became the only demographic group in America to display a pro-outgroup bias—meaning that among all the different groups surveyed white liberals were the only one that expressed a preference for other racial and ethnic communities above their own. As woke ideology has accelerated, a growing faction of white liberals have pulled away from the average opinions held by the rest of the coalition of Democratic voters—including minority groups in the party. The revolution in moral sentiment among this one segment of American voters has led to a cascade of consequences ranging from changes in the norms and attitudes expressed in media and popular culture, to the adoption of new political rhetoric and electoral strategies of the Democratic Party. Nor has this occurred in a vacuum on the left as the initiatives set in motion by white liberals have, in turn, provoked responses and countermeasures from conservatives and Republicans.

In a recent Vox article based partly on the dissertation research I’ve been doing as a Ph.D. candidate in political science at Georgia State University, Matthew Yglesias described this ongoing transformation as “The Great Awokening.” In Yglesias’ account: “In the past five years, white liberals have moved so far to the left on questions of race and racism that they are now, on these issues, to the left of even the typical black voter. This change amounts to a ‘Great Awokening.’” There is no simple or single explanation for how this process got started. It appears to be driven by an interplay of factors: preexisting tendencies among white liberals; a series of polarizing events like the police shooting of Michael Brown and subsequent riots in Ferguson, and the migrant crisis; the rise of millenials as a political force, and the explosion of social media and “woke” clickbait journalism. The years between 2012 and 2016 were a watershed for white liberal racial consciousness. But the seismic attitudinal shifts of those years have implications that go beyond race: They are also tied to a significant decrease in support for Israel and—perhaps more surprisingly—a rise in the number of white liberals who express negative attitudes about the perceived political power of American Jews.

[...]

A wealth of research shows that elected officials are most responsive to the voices (and campaign contributors) they hear from the most; and, by many measures, white liberals and Democrats are the most politically active group on their side of the partisan aisle. White liberals make up 20-24% of the general population but, for a multitude of reasons, exert an outsize political and cultural influence. They are more likely to consider themselves activists, are more active on social media, and, significantly, they are one of the most affluent groups in the country. Of course, small groups of vocal and determined minorities can drive positive changes and spur social progress. The danger is that “woke” white activists acting on behalf of voiceless minorities have had their perceptions distorted by social media-tinted caricatures that obscure more objective measures of reality and end up silencing or ignoring what the voiceless groups, themselves, have to say about what policies are in their best interest.

[...]

Resentment of those seen as standing in the way of necessary social and cultural change may inspire a commitment to what political scientist Eric Kaufman calls “multicultural millenarianism”: the belief that the demise of a white majority will pave the way for a more racially progressive and just society. Perhaps this is why white support for increasing immigration coincides with more negative feelings toward whites. Whatever the case, such sentiment would have been hard to fathom 10-20 years ago. The digitalization of moral outrage that makes it possible today could, with the pace of innovation, make it even more potent in the years to come.
