(33,643 posts)Putin and his oligarch buddies were laughing at Dumpies ridiculous proposal ALL ALONG, playing him for the fool, trying to get him to compromise himself in some way, so they'd own him.
Basically they were trying to leverage his childish, narcissistic delusions of grandeur ... to get the sanctions lifted, should he manage to become POTUS. And I STRONGLY suspect they succeeded.
They were absolutely playing him, and were NEVER going let that project proceed, because in reality, Trump was begging THEM ... for money. He didn't have his part of the funds, never did, never will. He was just trying to trade on his 'name', and they were laughing at his ass all along.
It ended, because Trump is an over-leveraged, stupid fucking man-child, trying to play WAY OUT OF HIS LEAGUE, right from the beginning.
