(2,752 posts)Trump's house of cards was but a whisper away from collapsing, and the Russians saw a way to use him to launder money, so they loaned him money. Then set up an office in Trump Towers to launder money from. Egotistical Trump was blind tot eh fact that he was being used and set up, and, when he ran for prez, the Russian mob saw a golden opportunity, so they offered to help Trump win. And Trump, being stupid as they come, and the con man fell for it...
Trump knows that he better get those sanctions lifted. And he knows the Russians won't, as US banks have done in the past, accept a "oh well, bankruptcy, and la de dah, I walk away again." Trump knows you do not walk away from Putin. He knows what will happen, and, as long as Trump is president, the odds of that happening are low. But if he gets thrown out of office, he's fair game. And the Russians will be at his door for a little talk.
