House of Trump, House of Putin

More about the book

This bestselling investigation delves into the decades-long relationship among Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Russian Mafia, which played a crucial role in Trump's rise to the presidency. The narrative begins in the 1970s with Trump's entry into New York real estate and culminates with his inauguration, highlighting Putin's long-term mission to undermine Western democracy. The book reveals how Trump became entangled with Russian oligarchs and Mafia figures, starting with significant financial bailouts during his casino failures in Atlantic City. It challenges the perception that the Cold War ended in 1991, suggesting it merely transformed, with Trump's properties facilitating the flow of Russian money out of a collapsing Soviet Union. The author meticulously outlines the alliance between American political operatives and the Russian underworld, tracing Trump's journey from a struggling tycoon to a global leader. The text emphasizes that without Trump's involvement, Russia's efforts to regain superpower status would have been hindered, and without Russian support, Trump may not have ascended to power. Key figures like Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, and Felix Sater emerge with significant implications, especially in light of ongoing investigations into these connections. This essential work sheds light on the hidden forces shaping today's geopolitical landscape.
