Does the trump branded hotels say to people who have money to launder "this is the place to do business" trump brand means no questions asked.
So anyplace there is a trump hotel, the game is on.
Sort of like Starbucks equals a place to buy coffee.

The President helped build a hotel in Azerbaijan that appears to be a corrupt operation engineered
by oligarchs tied to Irans Revolutionary Guard.

(1,076 posts)I've been thinking and noting for sometime, that his business model is suspect. My thoughts have been confirmed. His business model relies on money laundering individuals, whether drug kingpins or the paruskie oligarchs.
My position is pRezident dRumpf needs to be impeached. I would much rather that something else brings him down.
One of the actions he does is his consistent lying. AND, then the GOP leaders spin the same lie.
Finally, why does pRezident dRumpf need to hide all of his business relationships in LLCs?

If a Dem had done 1/100th what he is believed to have done and is doing they would be on their way to federal prison for life as well as all assets seized. Add in the sex related crimes and he would be hanging from a noose right now. There is no justice in America as long as it is ruled by filthy rich, white men.

I also thought it interesting that the first people the Trumps sought out to buy the Panama apartments were Russian oligarchs.
