Craig Unger tells us, in minute detail, how Donald Trump used Russian money, largely the proceeds of crime, to win the 2016 US election. It's tough going, because we cannot expect the Russian mafia to be any more opaque than its Sicilian forebear. The men involved, and they are all men, are criminals who lie as easily as they breathe. The secrets they hold are, literally, worth billions of dollars. Donald Trump and his sons, on the other hand, are morons, who wouldn't know a secret if they stepped in one. Only Trumps would be dumb enough to rent large portions of the eponymous Tower to criminals on the international wanted list. On the US side we get glimpses into the tangled careers of Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, both key links in the chain stretched between the Kremlin and the White House.
Unger has done his homework. His claims are all sourced and credited. People of the so-called Free World should read this and weep. At the same time we should never forget, Hillary Clinton was an awful choice by the Democrats, unlikeable, cold, and entitled. It was no mean achievement on her part to make Donald J Trump likeable.
