In 1984, a Russian émigré named David Bogatin went shopping for apartments in New York City. The 38-year-old had arrived in America seven years before, with just $3 in his pocket. But for a former pilot in the Soviet Army—his specialty had been shooting down Americans over North Vietnam—he had clearly done quite well for himself. Bogatin wasn’t hunting for a place in Brighton Beach, the Brooklyn enclave known as “Little Odessa” for its large population of immigrants from the Soviet Union. Instead, he was fixated on the glitziest apartment building on Fifth Avenue, a gaudy, 58-story edifice with gold-plated fixtures and a pink-marble atrium: Trump Tower.....

The problem is that the most ignorant, most gullible people don't seem willing to read long-form articles, even though that's obviously the route to becoming well-informed.

They do not want or care about the truth on Trump. They actually already know that he is a criminal but just don't care. Many of his followers are Russkie trolls so why would they care about this. Trump has the attention span of a flea and he is the standards bearer for his base so no one would expect them to read a long informative article. I posted this for the literate.

A Reuters review found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida.
