BTW guess who didn't come to the wedding of his son, who coincidentally bears the same name?

It's very dangerous to get involved with those kinds of people.
Really hope nothing bad ever happens to him due to that association.
most likely money laundering, and standing orders from putin through DTJr.
More obvious Russian corruption/ influence, but any connections to Russia are a hoax.
five-tier funfetti cake
How disappointing. Even with hundreds of thousands of dollars, you can’t think of anything better than funfetti? Money literally can’t buy taste in this case.
Where is dearest daddy? They already putting him into the retirement home?
But the people who really wish America would be friendlier with nazis/Russians tell me that America isn't friendly enough with nazis/Russians!
At least have the class to feature the dude a little more prominently in the wedding photos.
..."according to records reviewed by ProPublica and interviews with three people familiar with the event"...
Show the records, at the very least. Provide the evidence for your audience, if you respect their intellect and ability to draw the same conclusion. Otherwise, just more nonsense posted by ProPublica with sourcing to "people familiar with the matter". Laughable. The article is pure speculation made out to be something more.
Until then, Hitchens' razor applies. What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
People upvoted your comment? Propublica is legit. You are some internet rando leveling baseless disbelief despite surely not knowing dick.
Are you a real person?
Edit: to add. Yes, reveal your sources so the administration can destroy them, great advice. Were you born yesterday or are you with the administration? Because those are the only two possibilities I see.
I can also argue with an Internet rando for leveling baseless belief. Propublica may be legit, but they're not showing the receipts on this one that connects the dots. Propublica is the platform, these 4 reporters don't earn any credibility with this kind of reporting. Propublica should demand better.
Not saying reveal the 3 individuals, yes, they'd surely have the regime's sights set on them, but contracts, receipts, accounting leaks can be shown, shit gets hacked and dumped all the time. Deniability as to where it came from, but when they have it, they can validate it with additional sources, company documents, other experts, etc. All we get here is, 'trust us'. Produce some documentation.
There's plenty of out in the open corruption to light this administration up for. Surely there are other more obscure stories of corruption with better sourcing than this. They show photos of the couple watching fireworks reportedly funded by the guy, but not a receipt to support that claim?
Who gives a fuck what you think though?
You are playing us. I think. Make a few comments to fit into the community and then grind your axe for your true purpose.
It's also entirely possible I just have unique, nuanced opinions that don't completely align with yours. If this article is true, add it to the pile of things that family should be run out of town for. Better yet, impeach, convict, remove from office, and go after the rest of that corrupt family enterprise based on mountains of evidence that supports that end. I just am not ready to swallow this news story as-is simply because it supports that narrative. Guess that makes me a bad person.
Lock me up. 😒
You don't have credibility, propublica does. Fuck your nuance.
Lol, OK kid
A toolish response if I ever heard one. How does that oligarchic dick taste by the way?
Lol, how rude. I'm not the one defending a media organization proudly funded by oligarch money, dressed up real nice in tax exempt foundations.
You may know that revealing the records will likely have undesired consequences for the sources. It is their full right to protect them.
Having said that, the article reads that
... a spokesperson for Trump Jr. did not dispute the wedding payments from Kremlev.
It is also noteworthy that, according to the linked article,
... in the days leading up to Trump Jr.’s wedding, Kremlev was in China as part of the delegation accompanying Putin, according to Chinese state media. The month before, Putin had bestowed him with a state honor, the Order of Friendship.
The Ukrainian government has imposed sanctions on Kremlev personally, citing his closeness to Putin and Russian security services.
You were saying?
Hey, now there's something beyond speculation. So it was true. I don't apologize for my original skepticism with the info at the time. I am willing to be swayed with additional info and in this case confirmation from the horses mouth.
Thanks for posting that!
Man, we might as well assume that Trump is entirely made of Russian money even prior to his real estate business. I wouldn't be surprised if Fred Trump was chained by Pootin's predecessor at this point.
Don’t know about that, but Fred Trump was definitely in the Klan
Trumps being in the klan would inevitably bankrupt the klan or even destroy it so I'm all for it. I support the idea of giving every trump honorary membership and leadership positions in the kkk. I'd even be ok for the government to pay for such a thing. It cant even be very expensive.
point of order though, I am against capitalizing the word "klan". That group name or their acronym doesnt deserve a capital letter. If we were a better people we would have done something more definitive about them before now, as they arent a peaceful group and commit violent terrorism.
There's a reason no respectable bank would give him a loan pre-presidency.
I mean that's probably just his long history of vexatious non-payment.
After all the “Biden crime family” bullshit, “Trump crime family” is right there for use by the Dems. And don’t say “it’s not original.” The right has been co-opting and enshitifying stuff from the left for generations.
The “Biden crime family” rhetoric was to normalize the behavior so that people who support trump wont give a fuck.
If it is the offspring of a traitor, takes bribes like a traitor, it is a traitor.
I feel like these klpeorcrats types love to not only get the money and get away with it, but they really want to do it in the open too. Same with the Israelis.
My proudest moment of my wedding was also that my father didn't come.
Trump is pretty much aping Putin in every possible way, every worst way he can. Difference is that Putin is dangerous using his intelligence while trump is dangerously stupid. No surprise about the money source with trump’s long ties to Russian financiers.
Wait, you can get the Russians to pay for your wedding? Why did no one tell me!
Weird how democrats keep clinging to the whole Russiagate thing, but there's not a peep from them now that we know Trump is an actual Israeli asset.
It's just sad. Even sadder that USians not only continue to frantically search for a credible scapegoat, buy also cling to the illusion that some great man is coming to save us. It is an illusion that reality will remedy, in it's own time.
This whole idea that you just need a different set of empire managers in charge is so bizarre to me.
One thing that really scares me about the fall of the empire of my birth is, even if a revolution succeeded, not only who would be in charge, but would they actually understand large scale administration, distribution, logistics, of goods and finance? We've allowed ourselves to be so proudly uneducated for si long, because "There are professionals for that." Well, yes, but honest ones?
"Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets," Donald Trump Jr. said at a New York real-estate conference that year. "Say, in Dubai, and certainly with our project in SoHo, and anywhere in New York. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia."
Donald Trump Jr. 2008
I wonder what the reception entertainment was like. Eyes Wide Shut shit, I'm guessing.
Kids, the monsters aren't under your bed, or in your closet. The monsters are down the hall in the big bedroom.
