Trump: American banks refuse him loans. He's in debt to Russian oligarchs.

Donald Trump is up to his ears in debt to Russian oligarchs. It's why he "loves" Vladimir Putin. And it's why he should never be allowed anywhere near the White House, nor should he be receiving intelligence briefings of any sort.

There are google postings galore on this issue. But I'm just not in a position (I work) to list them all and connect them. I've been browsing them over the past month or so, and it seems to me that Trump is deeply in debt to (what some may consider) our enemy.

I'd appreciate it if some here could post the appropriate google info to establish the veracity of what I'm saying. Thank you in advance.

The bottom line of this post is that Donald Trump is not the "Manchurian Candidate." He's Vladimir Putin's "Russian Candidate." And it's the reason he's kissing Putin's ass.

The story of his life is to tell those to whom he owes money "fuck off. Sue me." Many of them do sue him. He's one of the biggest con-artists in American history. And millions of uninformed, ignorant people will vote for him.

All I can say is that, we are in great danger of this man coming to power.

I realize the counter argument is, "If you think there's something conflicting there, don't vote for him." But look how far he's gotten keeping everyone in the dark, not even thinking about it.

It's why we will never see them. Those returns (perhaps) contain the reality of the Russian oligarchs who "own" him and reveal every cent of his debt.

On edit: How come the main stream media never covers any of this. It sure as hell is available to any investigative reporter who wants to make a name for him/her self.

He offers nothing other than empty words and false hopes. He's a snake oil salesman of the worst kind.

I really don't know how else to say it, but there's a stench of evil about this man.

(And I'm saying that as an agnostic who doesn't really know if there is such a thing as good/evil. Nonetheless ... )

I read some time back that he owed several hundred millions to Russian banks. I can't seem to find the link now?

Also, Paul Manafort did not just appear out of thin air to be campaign chairman of the Trump campaign. Too bad he has disappeared and no one has heard from him in weeks. No one.
