The Donald doesn't dare say anything negative about Vlad. Vlad can shut down his line of credit to Russian banks. Donald kisses his butt for a reason.
The implications of a presidential candidate so indebted to the Russians are beyond explanation. The big picture is so scary. Those that cannot see the dangers should stay home on election day. We don't want our nation to be sold down the river to save Donald Trump's name on some tall buildings.

I hope there are some investigative journalists out there doing the leg work to do so.

On the other hand, the Trump family rakes in untold millions of dollars from the Trump Organization every year. Much of that comes from deals with international financiers and developers, many of whom have been tied to controversial and even illegal activities. None of Trumps overseas contractual business relationships examined by Newsweek were revealed in his campaigns financial filings with the Federal Election Commission, nor was the amount paid to him by his foreign partners. (The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for the names of all foreign entities in partnership or contractually tied to the Trump Organization.) Trumps financial filings also indicate he is a shareholder or beneficiary of several overseas entities, including Excel Venture LLC in the French West Indies and Caribusiness Investments SRL, based in the Dominican Republic, one of the worlds tax havens.

(1,587 posts)Russian propaganda apparatus has focused on supporting Trump and by his refusal to release his tax returns. Putin did the same for Eastern European leaders indebted to him. I see all these people applauding and cheering Trump on and am constantly amazed by their ignorance. The nation is at a very scary place, dragged there by Trump and the GOP that incubated him.
