Trump’s ties to the Russians actually go back to the 1980s when the Soviet Union was disintegrating & wealthy apparatchiks & mobsters needed a way to launder money. Trump offered the perfect solution, selling them luxury condos. In turn, the Russians bailed him out of $4 billion in debt. ROI: >100%!
💯. Yes. Referenced in other books. Also excellent read 👇 bsky.app/profile/germ...
Yes, I liked his earlier book, a chilling look at how Trump has been played by the Kremlin. It synthesizes lots of info that's already out there, hiding in plain sight, re: Trump's reliance on Russian money & what an unwitting asset (useful idiot) he’s been to Russian intelligence for so many years.
👍. Added to my (long) list to read.
