Lots of it is already publicly known so I think it has been the biggest failing of the media that his business dealings weren't out there for voters to see.

I suspect his obvious stupidity may actually protect him, after all, put yourself in the position of Putin, a skilled and canny operator who has years of experience in a savage political arena where losers end up dead rather than retiring to a well paid job in the media. I honestly can't see him actually involving Trump in any capacity that he was actively aware of, in a super secret conspiracy, Trump would be no more than a clueless tool.<br />However, I fully expect the Donald to be hoisted on the petard of a related financial impropriety.<br /><br />The only real question is who will play Trump in the inevitable Oscar baiting movie?Timothy Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455609500395912042noreply@blogger.com
