I've been predicting that Trump will be caught using his public office for personal gain and will be impeached based on that conflict by the end of the summer. Most people think it will be "Russians". So what is the conflict that will bury him?
I think I get it - it is both.
Trump's son-in-law is now apparently under investigation, not only for talking to Russians, but for talking to Russian banks. I think this is very significant.
Trump has famously refused to release his tax returns. Most people think the reason is that he did not want anyone knowing his income, or lack of charitable contributions. What if the real reason is that he did not want anyone knowing how much debt he and or his companies have?
Trump recently filed a financial statement with the ethics watchdogs in Washington. He claims to be $315 million in debt, with about $1.4 Billion in assets. No, he is not worth $9 Billion.
His lawyers have previously claimed that he has no debt owed to Russians. OK - but what about his companies? If he has hundreds of millions of dollars in debt, his companies presumably have way more.
But wait! Did I say he was $315 Million in debt? Um...how about almost $1 Billion in debt?
If this is accurate, Donald Trump may be worth no more than a few hundred million dollars. This is a man who may actually have lost money since his bankruptcies in the 1990's. More than that, if these numbers are right, then he has way less money in real terms than what his father left him when he started out as a young man. He may be, as even he would say, a "loser"...and a complete charlatan.
Translation - he had every reason to look for every possible angle for making money in his new gig, and the trips to Mar-a-Largo are actually about him earning more cash.
So here it goes....
I think we may soon learn that Trump's stooges were negotiating with Russian banks about re-financing his real estate and business empire with some cut-rate loans during the campaign and after he became President, which would save those companies, and him indirectly, tens of millions of dollars in interest payments each year. I don't think this is about "Russian hacks"; it is about "Russian bucks". I think this the real reason why his real estate developer son-in-law is in the White House.
We shall see.
