In 2008, Donald Trump Jr. publicly stated that "a lot of money" was "pouring in from Russia" to the Trump Organization, when U.S. banks were reportedly less willing to lend to the family business. Now the trumps are turning to the Middle East for funding as Russia is collapsing.

Psychopath Trump can't organize shit, and his dementia is accelerating, and...he has experienced additional "transient ischemic attacks" (aka "mini-strokes").

Other people, like Russell Vought and Stephen Miller are calling the shots and drafting (and in some cases signing) the executive orders.
