  • This is one of the least logical Russiagate accusations I’ve ever heard.

    The casino was open until like 2014 but wasn’t all that popular through the 2010s. Let’s call tbe peak the 90s to the early 00s.

    You’re suggesting that some nebulous “Russians” (who? Politicians? Oligarchs? Gangsters? Typically only gangsters need to launder money) took their ill-gotten roubles, converted them to USD (already a form of money laundering, doing this alone would suffice), flew to Atlantic City, gambled it away in Trump’s casino, converted their winnings back to roubles (losing heavily during the exchange rate process), and flew back to Russia, because Trump was friendly or something? All at a time when Russia was politically neutral to the US during the Fukuyama End of History era? At a time when the rouble wasn’t banned from global markets? What fucking purpose would laundering their money in a different nation’s currency altogether actually serve?

    Do you actually think before you post or do you just fire off some fucking Tom Clancy fanfic with Trump and Spooky Russians :tm: attached to it and expect it to be taken at face value?
