More evidence of the Trump family ties to Russia

"Trump Jr. wedding celebrations were sponsored by powerful Russian businessman" Washington Post also in UK newspapers.

Umar Kremlev is the president of the International Boxing Association, a Switzerland-based sports league financed by Russian state energy giant Gazprom. He recently accompanied Russian President Vladimir Putin on a delegation to China, and he is under Ukrainian sanctions that describe him as a “close friend of the head of Putin’s security service.”

The more I read about Trump and his family, the more I believe that he is a Russian asset. Anyone else think the same?

This then makes me wonder who is really behind the people funding Reform. Russian oligarchs close to Putin had links to the Tories, especially Boris. There was Russian money supporting the Brexit campaign via UKIP so to my mind it makes sense that that influence is still active in Reform. Thoughts?

Needs to be investigated.
Too important and dangerous to ignore.

It won’t be investigated. Open corruption in the nation of the so-called leader of the “free-world” is now the norm. Democrats are still too weak to do anything about it. Trump is openly using his status as POTUS to drive up the national debt in pursuit of getting rid of his own, which was at the very least hundreds of millions prior to his “election”. The only sitting US president to openly earn billions using his position and no one bats an eyelash. The US government is now openly a ‘pay for play’ regime. This fake king and his phony princes have sold themselves and the nation to the highest bidders, which include Putin linked oligarchs.

Nothing will happen. They are all going to flee to Albania once they start being investigated, IMO.

I had to stop listening to a video about what might happen on January 3rd as I found it so frightening. I’m going to give it another go. I’m so afraid for democracy in America. How has it come to this? How is Trump getting away with such terrible things? Why are people so afraid of him. Who else is behind him ( along imo Putin) controlling all of this?

I’d say Putin and Trump would really ‘get’ each other far more than Zelensky and Trump. Possibly not much can be done about it whilst Trump is still in power, just a fact of life. Wonder who will follow Trump.

That thought is even more chilling than the thought of Trump getting extra time !

Hopefully Gavin Newsom!

Indeed, MayBee, wouldn't it be brilliant to have Gavin Newsom in the White House .

I am not keen on Newsom. He isn't actually that popular, even in his own state. It is also an uphill battle to get anyone from California elected in Red states. California is the boogey man to these people after a lifetime of propaganda.

I think Mark Kelly could have a decent chance. Soldier and astronaut. However,
he would never win in a gun loving GOP state, so he isnt viable IMO.

Rumors of Kamala coming back up. I really hope not to be honest. I think she will lose another Primary. Buttigeg is gay. Jeffries is unpopular. And black. That leaves Pritzker at the top of my list.

Speculation and opinion, of course. 2 years is a lifetime in Trump's America.
