David Cay Johnston is wondering what the Russians have on Trump

And tomorrow we might find out:

David Cay Johnston
Author of “The Making of Donald Trump”
David Cay Johnston, who wrote “The Making of Donald Trump”, a biography, believes the full story about Trump and Russia has yet to be told. “Every time Vladimir Putin is mentioned, Trump goes out of his way to express deep respect for him, which suggests there’s something very important which we simply don’t know,” he said.

I have been saying for some time is that what's driving him and his family is existential fear. The Russians bet on stupid Americans electing a famous TV star based I Trump's assurances he would win, and now is not going to deliver. Whatever he owns his Russian creditors he cannot now repay.
