Trump is really an American 'Russian oligarch'? (Original Post)

(3,040 posts)1. No.
Trump is a failure of a businessman that only has a reputation of being a good businessman man because he had a reality show and a book. Take those two things out of the equation and he is just like Paris Hilton. Most Russian oligarchs are cut throat capitalists that never failed at their businesses.

Oligarchs in Russia serve at the pleasure of Putin. He can and does take away their money if he wishes to.
