When it comes to Donald Trump, no individual has the ability to keep up with the outrages — from abusiveness (from sexual assault to abuse of legal system in suing people to tweets to ...), association & bromance(s) with (neo)Nazis / white nationalists / dictators / conspiracy theorists / mafiosas / sexual predators & abusers / political reactionaries / etc …, criminal behavior (Trump University), NPD / DT (narcisstisic personality disorder & dark triad), business failures, etc, etc, etc …

PEOTUS is impressive — there are few people who have ever managed to attain such a massive mix of ethical, financial, criminal, moral, psychological, and other problems/violations.

Yes, in addition to making you sick to the stomach and terrifying all us that he is going to be in the Oval Office for something more than a photo op, Donald Trump should take your breath away — that he is able to be this abusive across so many domains and yet still remain a figure of reverence for a significant share of US voters.

While the election cycle saw a good deal of information about Trump emerging, this was nearly always drown out by “EMAILS” or “CLINTON FOUNDATION” and other propaganda (Russian and otherwise) driven by trolls into the acquiescent (if not happily cooperative) media and trumpeted by Trump.

Despite all ‘we knew’, it seems more emerges with every passing day.

Today’s revelation: Donald Trump’s casino operations might have been a front for massive and prolonged money-laundering of Russian money.

Adam Khan has been investigating Trump — both during the 2016 election and since. He has uncovered and highlighted a range of Trump-ian issues: such as ties to Russian sex traffickers.

Sadly (or thankfully to) Khan often highlights yet another (ANOTHER) reason to distrust Trump and wonder at the extent of his questionable, unethical, distasteful, despicable, and even illegal behavior. The latest: strong evidence, including a major ($10M) government fine, indicating that Trump might have used his ‘failed’ casino operations as a means to engage in serial, extended, and major money laundering of Russian money.

Khan’s twitter thread on this begins:

x 1. A thread on something that's been bothering me:

How on earth was Trump losing money on his casinos while competitors were making bank? https://t.co/EsrkuLkHCV — Adam Khan (@Khanoisseur) January 7, 2017

RE that ‘losing money ... while competitors were making bank’ …

The thread continues:

x 3. But what if there's more to Trump's casino losses, which ran billions of dollars.

While the rest of the thread appears after the fold, here is something significant that I — if not you and most Americans — was not aware of:

x 10. Here is the smoking gun: US Treasury fined Trump's casinos $10 million for "significant, long standing anti-money laundering violations" pic.twitter.com/6PAAfxEhJQ — Adam Khan (@Khanoisseur) January 8, 2017

A $10M fine?!?!?! Which, by the way, is the largest fine — by far — ever given out for this sort of violation.

Pretty much crickets on this during the 2016 election cycle.

And, yet another element of the pile of dung that is Donald Trump and PEOTUS …

And, some (serious) additional smoke about Trump’s foreign connections, (potentially? likely? actual) shady — if not actual criminal — dealings, and further reason to question whether PEOTUS is actually #PutinsPuppet.
