These Russian Oligarchs Are Making Donald Trump Rich

During the many government investigations into whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government during the 2016 presidential elections, President Donald Trump has insisted he doesn’t have business dealings with Russia.

“I have no loans in Russia. I don’t have any deals in Russia,” the president said in February.

But that doesn’t mean that Russians aren't investing in Trump. In fact, at least 63 Russian elites and oligarchs have invested around $100 million into Trump-brand real estate in southern Florida, a Reuters investigation revealed. In the Florida resort town of Sunny Isles Beach, an area with the highest number of Russian-born residents in the U.S., the Trump brand has six residential towers.

Some of the individuals investing in these towers have ties to the Russian political establishment, and their identities could shed light on the complex web of business dealings that connect Trump to Russia.

They are enriching themselves. Once Trump falls, his brand will collapse and his assets will take a significant hit in value. Then the Oligarch's will sweep up his assets and a significant discount and re-brand, rename and remove all Trump influence. After a couple of years, some jerk will say "oh, I wasn't a member at Mar-a-lago, I came in afterwards when it became American Shores".

They already know Trump has an expiration date and are planning on it.
