Charles Pierce of Esquire recently wrote that Russia is all Trump should be asked about from now til November. l wonder how deep this goes.

Pierce said at the time that Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo already seemed to be onto something:

Let's start with the basic facts. There is a lot of Russian money flowing into Trump's coffers and he is conspicuously solicitous of Russian foreign policy priorities.

I'll list off some facts.

1. All the other discussions of Trump's finances aside, his debt load has grown dramatically over the last year, from $350 million to $630 million. This is in just one year while his liquid assets have also decreased. Trump has been blackballed by all major US banks.

2. Post-bankruptcy Trump has been highly reliant on money from Russia, most of which has over the years become increasingly concentrated among oligarchs and sub-garchs close to Vladimir Putin.

I actually feel sorry for Melania. She's 46. Yikes! He's been known to trade in aging models for newer, blonder models. I hope she hasn't reached her sell-by date.
