........and anyone else who's interested.
Read a very interesting article on your hero's shady background and relationship with Russia & Putin. What a guy!
***********************
Trump's businesses went bankrupt so many times in the 1990s that many legitimate banks wouldn’t lend to him anymore. He turned to Russian oligarchs -- Putin’s ruling clique -- to bankroll his projects, and launder their dirty money for them. This was, and continues to be, a huge part of his business. He’s a Russian money launderer.
"We don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia." Donald Trump JR, 2014
Trump’s main financial backer for the Trump Tower Toronto was a Russian-Canadian billionaire who got the money by selling a massive steel mill in Ukraine for nearly a billion dollars. $100 million of that money was paid to a Kremlin-backed fixer, likely as a bribe to VERY high Russian officials. The Chairman of the Bank who financed the deal? Vladimir Putin.
Trump bought his home in Palm Beach, Florida for $41 million. A few years later, with no real increase in the value -- he sold it for $95 million -- the most expensive home in America at the time! Why? A major Russian oligarch bought it -- we don’t know yet why he effectively ‘gave’ Trump $54 million. But it’s classic money laundering practice.
Trump's real estate deals were often fuelled by Russian money, typically passed through shady shell companies. 77% of Trump Soho apartments were bought with cash by such mysterious companies. At least 13 people with links to Russian oligarchs or mobsters lived in Trump properties, including one of Russia's top mobsters. One even ran a high-stakes illegal gambling ring in the apartment right below Trump's!
"Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets"
Donald Trump JR, 2008
Trump’s financial broker and “Senior Advisor” was a Russian convicted felon named Felix Sater, widely known as a mafia figure who once stabbed someone in the face with a broken margarita glass, requiring over 100 stitches. Sater helped set up shell companies, and arranged funding for Trump’s projects, including plans for Trump Tower Moscow. He’s also part of Putin’s inner circle. Here’s one email he wrote to Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen in November, 2015:
"Michael, I arranged for Ivanka to sit in Putins private chair at his desk and office in the Kremlin. I will get Putin on this program and we will get Donald elected. We both know no one else knows how to pull this off without stupidity or greed getting in the way. I know how to play it and we will get this done. Buddy our boy can become President of the USA and we can engineer it. I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this, I will." New York Times, August 27, 2017
Trump’s other main business is casinos -- which are classic money laundering vehicles. One of his casinos was 100 times found in violation of federal rules protecting against money laundering, and paid the largest fine ever levied against a casino for having “willfully violated” anti-money laundering rules. Trump has a legal obligation to do “due diligence” for all his businesses to prevent laundering. His senior executive’s comment on this was “Donald doesn’t do diligence”.
Putin is a former KGB officer who has used chemical weapons, assassinated people in other countries, invaded the Ukraine, occupied Crimea, shot down the MH17 airliner with almost 300 passengers on board, aided a murderous regime in Syria, condoned the beating and torture of gays, stolen up to $200 billion from his own people, hacked foreign elections and launched what NATO calls the largest hybrid warfare campaign in history to undermine western liberal democracies. He is also widely believed to have ordered the murder of Russian journalists and critics, and bombed hundreds of Russian civilians to fake a terrorist attack and justify a war in Chechnya.
Yet when asked at their press conference if Trump had any criticism of Putin, he had none, and ridiculed US law enforcement for investigating Russian attacks on US democracy!
Why? Trump has been working for Putin's corrupt inner circle for almost 20 years. And it's that corrupt circle that promises to make him rich for the next 20 (he's refused, in violation of all ethics, to divest from his businesses as President). Trump *may* be a Russian intelligence asset, he *may* have colluded with Putin to sabotage the US election. But what is clear is that he is a corrupt Russian money launderer, in the pocket of a KGB dictator.

Wrong again.
Since 2008 and the Russian conflict with Georgia, the Russian military has gone through huge modernization.
It now boasts some of the most sophisticated weapons in the world.
When it comes to military or civilian nuclear power Russia is ahead of China.
Just admit you are clueless. [Post edited 23 Jul 2018 14:38]

It is you who is clueless. Yes the Russians have been on a modernisation jump for their military. This has involved a progression of tactics, logistics and equipment. They saw how the west was learning and equipping in reaction to the operations they were conducting. Indeed it is believed that Russian military intervention has been done, in part, to develop the military. Russia has boasted about new hypersonic weapons but has not yet demonstrated their effectiveness...much like China and her stealth planes and hypersonic weapons. Indeed you can google China's new weapons as they are often reported in the english language versions of the China press.
You are still avoiding Putins Russian mafia links. |  |

You’ve suddenly changed your mind in regards to Russian military power.
I couldn’t care less about Putin and the Russian mafia links.
Personally I don’t care if he running the mafia.
He put Russia before anything else, something I wish British politicians would do and put our country first.
Now back to your claims China is a more powerful nuclear country. In which way ? |  | | |

It can’t be that Dwight as he clearly said added $7 trillion to the wealth of the country.
Quite obviously that isn’t it. That would imply he’s a moron who doesn’t understand what ‘wealth of the country’ means.
Was that your intention? |
I was just letting the poster know what I thought the original poster was referring to. I never said it was right or wrong.
I personally do not know and do not have any interest in how much wealth has been added under renowned ladies man President Trump's tenure up until now. |  |

What a shame that you’re happy to gloss over the significant number of women that have been sexually assaulted by Trump and laugh it off under the description ‘ladies man’ simply because you mistakenly think you’re scoring a cheap point at my expense Dwight.
You really are pathetic. | | | |

Were any of those sexual assault allegations proven, was President Trump convicted of any? I genuinely do not know if he was as I haven't looked it up.
Or is this another case of you saying one thing just because you read it somewhere, despite the person involved denying it, just like when you told us Cliff Richard was a homosexual. May I remind you, you glossed over his constant denials just to try and score a cheap point at the expensive of HighJack a few days ago. | |

If the stock market had lost trillions of $ under Trump, you’d be shouting it from the roof tops, wouldn’t you.
I’m in the states now and haven’t seen or heard any anti Trump rhetoric at all.
In fact most people now realise he’s doing a great job.
He’s added wealth to the country and it doesn’t matter which way you try and paint it.
No doubt you also hate the fact that is building up relationships with Russia and North Korea.
It’s you who is the fu*king moron - a liberal fascist if I’ve ever seen one - A contradiction, but there you are.
And now I believe you are involved with the trust, what a turn off. | | | |

Yep, all those women were lying and so was Trump when he bragged about it on a hot mic.
let's not forget the affair he had with a playboy model a year after his wife gave birth. Classy guy. | | | |
