The Trump Org ties to Russian money has me wondering how the ongoing collapse of the Russian economy the last few days is affecting them. I have seen no reporting or opinion pieces about this yet.

If only someone in the media would look into this. But, even if the connection was completely uncovered, his supporters would praise Russia for helping Trump. Funny how the Tea Party patriots turned so quickly into anti-American detractors

This is a great question. If the Treasury department goes after Yachts and Condos, one wonders how many units of Trump properties will end up being owned by the US Government.

Most of that money is off the books money coming from the oligarchs, turning what are essentially largely worthless rubles into physical assets and American dollars.

It will take some time for that to have an effect on the Trump Organization (unless people start calling in their loans because of the whole untrustworthy financial statements thing from Mazars).
