Back in June of 2016, I made this graphic thinking that Humpty Trumpty was deep in the pocket of the Russian Mob. There were rumors floating around that he owed a group of oligarchs something to the tune of $650M that he had borrowed for a building project (can't remember which one). He also wasn't able to pay, and no US bank was willing to lend to him due to his history of foreclosure and bankruptcy. But the oligarchic mobsters wanted their money back. And, like most mobsters, they weren't afraid to use threats of physical harm to himself or loved ones to force payment. Problem was, as mentioned, Trump was broke. So, being the grifter he is, he made a deal: "Help me become president, and I'll do anything you want." Putin, through the oligarchs, asked for three things: 1. Remove US Sanctions against Russian banks and allow the oligarchs access to US markets. 2. destabilize the American Economy and put the US deeper into debt. 3. Destroy NATO.
I was saying all of this in June of 2016. I must be a fucking Prophet.
