Reuters 2017: Russian elite invested nearly $100 million in Trump buildings in southern Florida

Moscow on the Beach

A Reuters review found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida.

MIAMI/MOSCOW – During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump downplayed his business ties with Russia. And since taking office as president, he has been even more emphatic.

“I can tell you, speaking for myself, I own nothing in Russia,” President Trump said at a news conference last month. “I have no loans in Russia. I don’t have any deals in Russia.”

But in the United States, members of the Russian elite have invested in Trump buildings. A Reuters review has found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida, according to public documents, interviews and corporate records.

TFG is owned by Putin, the Russian mob, and Russian backed banks. His businesses were all failures and he
was kept afloat by Russian money, money laundering through his real estate, and he was propped up as a
"business genius" by "The Apprentice" which I have no doubt had Russian money behind it.

All of this was public knowledge in 2016 but all we heard about was Hillary and her emails.

He should be obsolete. If not for Russian support and propaganda via Fox (not) News, etc., he would be.

he never would have made it past the primaries.

And if he did, the same groups enabled and encouraged him every day for four years, and STILL ARE!!!!!!!

Other wise, like you said, CMV, he would have been out of there ever since the primaries..........
