    Well to be fair, Trump don't actually own any of those buildings, it's just Trump branded. For quite a while now, he hasn't done much actual real estate development, he just sell the branding rights to actual real estate developers. From a business perspective, he's kind of an older male version of Kim Kardashian.

    It looks like only one property is owned by Trump and producing income for Trump (< $1 million per year). Most of his income in these deals came through a commission of 1-4% (assumed).

    Biggest reveal is that no one in the list is within Putin's inner circle.

    I'm Russian, is the point of this that we shouldn't be allowed to own property? Or we shouldn't be allowed to buy his?

    The point is an American President shouldn't be in bed financially or in any other way with another country, particularly when that country is responsible for hacking American political parties for the purposes of installing the American President.

    From a Russian perspective it's pretty funny, Putin likes to feel important so he loves the fact that there are people who think he has this much influence in America. In reality he's irrelevant so it's obviously all nonsense, but he has done a fantastic job in getting people to think the opposite (can't stand him, but gotta give credit where it's due).

    It's just how Putin is....he needs to think he's important. Anyone who knows anything about Russia can tell you that

    I'm glad that you "can't stand him," but I think your view that Putin is "irrelevant" is wildly off target. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you?

    Sounds like you are an immigrant who should get the **** out ;)

    American people expect our President to divest his/her business interests before they take office.

    Ukraine might have a slightly different opinion on how harmless Putin is.

    Can't tell if your sarcasm meter is broken, or if you're just returning the favor.

    Honestly this is not a big deal compared to the 90 million other things that are wrong with this administration.
