How much does Trump owe the Russians?

Nobody knows.

But it is probably enough for them to have complete leverage over him?

The office of the Presidency may be nothing more than a way for him to make deals with his creditors?

He has always bragged about being the "King of Debt". There is no reason to doubt that.

Insurance underwriters are very conscious of debt loads whenever they write life insurance policies. Suicide is also a relative factor in such cases.

When Eric Trump said they get all the financing they needed from Russia, we had no idea how much Donald Trump needed? We only knew that he was looking to borrow and build all around the world. The Russians were more than willing to give him all that he needed, with the approval of Vladimir Putin.

We do not know how much Donald Trump owes to the Russians? But, we should find out. And the sooner, the better.

until then they will creep closer until he is no longer able to even hold his hillbilly Nuremberg rallies. And he is going to spill the beans pretty soon like when jr. does the perp walk, that ought to do it.

Every day, it becomes more and more obvious that Putin/Russia has something on Trump. The salacious crap doesn't interest me, but Trump's one need is for money.

Follow the money trail. It leads to the truth.

Yeah, they have "dirt" on him, yeah, they have propped him up financially for a L O N G time.

But, frankly, he is so sick and depraved, he admires Putin and how he does his job.

The biggest driver is that 45 is envious of him and wants to be like him.

And much of he might think he was doing to "pay them back" probably doesn't count in their minds.
From what I've been able to determine, the mob - especially the Russian mobs doesn't view finance and accounting the same way legitimate organizations and governments do. If they "do you a favor", they own you. You sold yourself, your business, and your family to them.
There's no paying back debts to criminal organizations.
