This isn’t a troublesome one to attach the dots on. Trump is broke, and all of the sudden, the cash man for Russian oligarchs who advance Putin’s pursuits returns to the Donald Trump presidential marketing campaign.

Donald Trump is working the 2016 playbook yet again, together with leaning on assist from Putin to get him into the White Home.
