[QUOTE="hedrick, post: 73934587, member: 239032"] On Trump's losses, here's what the NYT article says: "Mr. Trump was able to lose all that money without facing the usual consequences — such as a steep drop in his standard of living — in part because most of it belonged to others, to the banks and bond investors who had supplied the cash to fuel his acquisitions. And as The Times’s earlier investigation showed, Mr. Trump secretly leaned on his father’s wealth to continue living like a winner and to stage a comeback." I haven't seen specific statements that Russians propped him up, but you'd want to see detailed data more recent than the NYT story. which was up to 1994. It's certainly possible, but the NYT has looked at what's available (some stories are more recent than 1994). I'd think they would have spotlighted any Russian connection. Maybe it's there, and no one has gotten to see the data. Initially I thought his connection with Putin made something like that probable. But watching his behavior over time, he seems to admire quite a wide variety of tyrants, while devaluing our traditional allies. I think his involvement with Putin is consistent with this, so there may not need to be any other explanation. [/QUOTE]
