(11,495 posts)He has been funneling money from the RNC into his pockets for years, taking it from taxpayers via his golf trips and golf cart rentals. He has been taking bribes from the Arabs, and anyone else who is willing to pay him for "favors.
Now he is using the pandemic to give contracts to those who are willing to give him a cut of the profits, so getting rid of Russian sanctions has to be done also. He knows he is toast, as does Putin. I expect he has found some way to steal money from the stimulus packages that have been passed, and he won't stop until he is outed for his crimes.
I would not be surprised if he ends up taking a trip to Russia, and never coming back if he loses the election, maybe even before the election depending on how much the House investigations come up with. I also think a whole lot of republicans in the house and Senate will be exposed for their actions in trumps crimes.
