Yes I'm sure those Russians that he borrowed hundreds of millions from have no influence whatsoever. He just praises Putin and happens to have Paul Manafort (who was Yanacovich's higher ups) as his campaign manager by coincidence, lol. 

BTW, I think his net worth is grossly overstated, he borrows a lot of money and plasters his brand everywhere, but he doesn't actually own a lot of the buildings he says he does. This is why he won't release his tax returns because it would reveal that he's not worth as much as he says he is, and this is why he won't take up Warren Buffett's offer to show his tax return ... and Warren Buffett's net worth dwarfs Trumps most likely, Trump sheepishly kinda refused to respond to this, I wonder why since he's so bombastic when challenged on just about anything else. He knows Warren would make him his proverbial bitch. 

The US is not headed in the similar direction because the demographics aren't there. In the US for example already a majority of Americans under the age of 10 are non-white already. That is the future of the country, like it or not, though America has always been a nation of immigrants to begin with, which is massive difference from Europe.  

Trump was able to beat a mediocre group of Republican candidates playing the race card basically, but that only plays to a minority portion of the Republican base, it's not working in the general election. That dog and pony show doesn't work on 35%+ of Americans who are visible minority, it doesn't work with college educated whites, it doesn't work on women (who are now the majority voting block). It doesn't work with young Americans.

Those things probably are just coincidence ... 

Tax returns only show income, not wealth and it's not as if though he's obligated to show them ... 

You don't win with future voters, you win with the CURRENT voters. It's as simple as that and there's a lot of time for the old to pass the teachings to the young which too could infect them with the same xenophobia. Do not keep assuming that the future will always work to your favour ...
