… because of deferred maintenance. It was a mess. Ivana had to work quite hard to,get it up to snuff, and only after that did she make it profitable.

It made me wonder if Manafort was reverting to bringing rubles over for Trump, and whether Trump was about to find a Sugar Vladdy for his current financial crisis.
