Ugh! Another Russian.
Not yet finished with a very long article, but I will want to see other comments from more informed FReepers than myself.
“Trump’s Russian Laundromat”
But, has Mr Unger been able to answer the age-old question of... “I put two socks in the dryer, and only one came out. Where’s my other sock?”
Oh please, enough of this stupid crap. You posted all this from a left magazine. Enough already!
Where does the spin stop, and the slander start?
Donald J. Trump has NEVER needed Soviet or Russian seed money for ANYTHING, and the presence or absence of Russians in his business dealings had nothing to do with his subsequent success in any of his business undertakings.
By every estimate, the Trump business model has been an example of risk-taking that has paid off, big league, and Donald Trump built it petty largely on force of character. Sure, he had a HUGE boost early in his career by getting seed capital through his father, then like the good and faithful servant of the parable, he multiplied it many times over.

Wow, all of that and he’s still cleaner than shrillary or Øbongo!
PRESIDENT TRUMP, get on the offense. Turn the focus on the GRIMY LAUNDRY - Hillary, OBAMA, Podesta, DNC and act on it!
any clift notes?
Why post this clickbait foolishness? We don’t care. Americans don’t care. While the real ppl in legal jeopardy are refusing to testify. Find an article about that and post it Never Trump troll.
Oh, to be such a big league failure!
Thought I smelled something putrid this AM. Thought perhaps my neighbor had gotten another manure delivery. But then I found this article. Mystery solved.
Skimming over this and similar “connect the dots” pieces make me think: Is this the same kind of reporting that we on the right have consumed about the Clintons and Obamas and believe to be true. Is it creative writing to sound legit? Or muddying the waters. My first thought was that Mr. Unger should put his investigative effort into Clinton’s past (or name your Dem). I believe the Clintons are all the bad we have read and it is infuriating that legal consequences never comes from their shenanigans, except for Bill’s law license revoked. But I have to stop and ask this question. The ruling class increasingly makes me ill. I believe they are cagey but not particularly smart and ethically challenged for the most part. Say what you will but Ted Cruz and some of the younger crowd are trying to help the President succeed. McConnell and Ryan are treading water and making excuses. Trump has an uphill climb and has done well against the forces that be. If he perseveres maybe he can really change things. But those leaches will always fill the void.
Good article, interesting stuff.
At the end of the day, Trump sells apartments. He doesn’t sell uranium. He doesn’t sell his political office. He sells real estate. If I was selling high dollar real estate I would be enormously happy for well funded international buyers to make me an offer.
I would not sell them uranium, though, and I would not sell my political office if I had one.
This article makes the broadest and wildest claims, then “clears the air” or contradicts itself.
TDS run rampant. Why post this garbage? Is the Steele Dossier next?
As I commenced reading that screed, I began to see various colors. I saw green-eyed jealousy for Trump’s success. As I read on, and on, and on, I began to see another color. I thought about what an acute case of the Red@$$ this miserable creep is nursing. Sux to be him.
I suppose next week New Republic will do an expose on Chinese business and real estate acquisitions in California and New York, including billions in Nancy Pelosi’s district.
Won’t waste my time reading such drivel. The first sentence reads (in Liberalese) “Here’s another hit piece on President Trump”.
The time Unger took to write this junk would have served humanity better if he had to write on a blackboard with chalk “President Trump is awesome” 1000 times.
Where to begin, where to begin?
Let’s start with the unsupported assertion that the first Russian mentioned was a “Russian Army pilot” who “shot down Americans over VietNam.” And the rest of the article’s assertions are just as dubious.
Occasionally crooks buy real estate. Sometimes they are Russians, but historically pretty much every ethnic group imaginable has members who are crooks.
Occasionally crooks invest in business deals. Sometimes they are Russians, but there have been cases where the crooks are Italian, Irish, English, Canadian, Israeli, Colombian, Mexican, and many other nationalities.
Since the crooks were Russian, and they bought real estate from, or invested in real estate deals with Trump, somehow this is the leftist story of the day, and in their TDS suffering minds, yet more evidence that Trump is colluding with the Russians.
When the Clinton's business partners in a real estate deal in Arkansas were sent to prison nobody suggested that there was some collusion between the Clintons and Ireland even though the crook's name was McDougal.
And that is why nobody trusts the main stream leftist media anymore.
