ERIC TRUMP REPORTEDLY BRAGGED ABOUT ACCESS TO $100 MILLION IN RUSSIAN MONEY

Dodson had planned to play nine holes with Trump and Eric, along with pro golfer Greg Norman and Trumps bodyguard, and when he got there, Dodson asked where Trump was getting money. He just sort of tossed off that he had access to $100 million, said Dodson, whose curiosity was piqued:
So when I got in the cart with Eric, Dodson says, as we were setting off, I said, Eric, whos funding? I know no banksbecause of the recession, the Great Recessionhave touched a golf course. You know, no ones funding any kind of golf construction. Its dead in the water the last four or five years.
And this is what he said. He said, Well, we dont rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia. I said, Really? And he said, Oh, yeah. Weve got some guys that really, really love golf, and theyre really invested in our programs. We just go there all the time. Now that was three years ago, so it was pretty interesting.

RUMP knew that if voters were to know that the only way his businesses kept on going was being prop'ed up by Russian money...he wouldn't gotten as much (not including all of the Russian interference in our election counts, can one absolutely rule out Russian involvement in a numbers game w/ vote totals?)
Most municipalities don't have the infrastructure to combat hacker attacks back then, and probably still don't, although there are moves underfoot to go back to paper ballots, e.g. in MO.
Thanks Kpete for reminding us of this subtle but significant fact...
