All of 45's attention to Putin and his gang of oligarchs seems to come down to the fact, according to David Cay Johnston, that when 45's business tanked at one point no reputable bank would lend him funds. He could only get money from the Russian mob and Deutsche Bank. According to financial disclosures he owes them something like 300 million, the Russians, who knows? This debt plus possibly the video from his escapades during the Miss Universe Pageant and his admiration of a "strong leader" is what keeps his eyes on the prize. I still think there is a high likelihood that it will be his business entanglements that get him in the most trouble.
I still am mystified as to why more people who are concerned about our democracy aren't screaming from the housetops regarding his failure to disclose anything from his tax returns to his medical reports. This is what we get for assuming that no one who refused to do either would ever get their party's nomination much less the office. I know I must sound like a broken record (now there's an old-timer reference) but really (?) this guy in head of state?
36% approval rating.
