Our system elected the Yam. Because he knew how to game it to his advantage. But yes, some day this all of his dirty dealings and deals with unsavory foreign plutocrats will come out and we will all shake our heads…

This from a recent New Yorker:

DONALD TRUMP’S WORST DEAL
The President helped build a hotel in Azerbaijan that appears to be a corrupt operation engineered by oligarchs tied to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

I read that article earlier today. You know how real estate people say, “Location, location, location”? The Trump-branded property in Baku is in a shitty area and is apparently very hard to reach by car. Equivalent high-end hotels are in better locations. There is no way that property will turn a profit, and either the developers are total idiots or the hotel is intended as a front for a different kind of business.

Trump’s investment in the property is unclear, but Ivanka paid them a visit personally and the Trump Org paid close attention to the interior design. So, it’s not like he just licensed his name and walked away.

Trump is in deep with criminal forces, I’m convinced of it. If he is, he’s skating on thin ice.
