    Trump has been a money launderer for Putin for the past 3 decades. Trump’s entire reason to own international resorts is to use them for laundering money. It’s easy. Build a huge resort, say it’s full even when it is not, and it just so happens to be that half the guests paid in cash. Well, the cash guest, Putin and his oligarchy bros, said “Keep this up or we will ruin you”. So the choice is to make money or lose it all/get killed. Pretty easy choice right?

      Why would Putin need to launder money? Putin likely has control of the mint and the fraud enforcement.you only need to launder money if you are trying to prove it’s legit after obtaining it illegally.

      I’m sure there is a connection to Putin’s money and Trump’s money, but I don’t think it’s laundering.

        Putin wouldn’t need to launder Russian money.

        But if he has a stockpile of USD, then he would have to launder that to hide it from the US government.
