What I think happened with Trump and Putin?

Above all else, Donald Trump is wired to make money.

It is my opinion that he has borrowed a lot of money from Russian banks with the promise that he will be permitted to build a Trump Hotel in the middle of Moscow. He knows that if he says one ill word toward Vladimir Putin, the deal will fall through.

Also, Ivanka is a very good friend of Putin's girlfriend and presently has businesses in Azerbaijan and has been promised more business in Russia. The Trump family is deeply involved in Russia with their business interests.

Donald Jr has been quoted as saying that the family has a "disproportionate" amount of business in Russia.

It is my opinion that the Trump family is deeply indebted to Vlad Putin and their business interests are placed over the interests of this nation.

Also, it is my opinion that Donald Trump has indulged in lies and deceit upon the American people that is equivalent to treason.

due to his bankruptcies. I also think Putin and/or other wealthy Russians have loaned or given him money with the understanding he would do what they said. So far he seems to be doing everything Putin could possibly want.

that is why he won'[t release his tax returns and why he continually refuses to say anything bad about the Russian hacking. USA - welcome to your new president -a traitor to his own country.
