“The truth of the matter is that Trump will lose no sleep over the deaths of innocents in Ukraine as long as the Russian oligarchs keep pouring cash into his coffers, as they have done for decades. When I started speaking out against Trump over a decade ago, the first thing I talked about was his copious ties to the Russian Mob. Having worked around his family on a TV show, it was quite obvious behind the scenes that they were extremely indebted and subservient to various members of the international criminal underworld. The after-parties looked like a backroom poker den in Brighton Beach. Lots of dudes named Lenny who looked like they would kill you without a care, usually with someone diaphanous and imported on their arms. The kind of young ladies who wear fur coats in May and for whom the word Bulgari becomes a verb. They are transactional arm candy for men who appear to be potatoes attached to skinny jeans, arms hairy and abutted, dripping with diamond-encrusted Swiss watches and gaudy pinky rings. Gold chains and greasy chests under purple silk and neglected buttons. They tended to smell of aftershave and cabbage with a tobacco finish. Ruddy and ruthless, business was conducted with the discernment of a drift net. Their greed enveloped all in their wake. Some men, not made for working themselves, saw it as opportunity. Donald Trump has always been one of those men.”noelcasler.substack.com/p/yo…
