Russian money can only come from Russian oligarchs or Russian banks and both are controlled by Putin. Therefore Putin knows nearly everything about Trump's finances. He can destroy the Trump "great businessman" myth. He can pull the plug on loans any time. He can destroy the Trump Organization.

It's little wonder Trump goes out of his way to do Putin's bidding.
