Can you imagine if one of Trump’s kids did this kind of thing?
You think Slim and Hunter have gotten their money through drug trafficking? Open borders? Ya thank?
Carlos Slim is not just an ordinary investor in the New York Times. Twice he invested so big in the NYT that he essentially kept it from going under. So we have Jeff Bezos as owner of the propaganda rag WaPo and CarlosSlim as patron of the NYTines.
Kings, empowers, Tzars, etc also had far more money than their subjects but they did not have anywhere near the huge geographical reach of todays billionaire oligarchs like Jeff Bezos and Carlos Slim.
