Well, there’s also the problem that for years Trump has been dependent on foreign money for his businesses investments, so for more than a decade now, most of Trump’s money has either had Russian fingerprints on it, or has gone through foreign banks that have been caught laundering money for Russian oligarchs.
Even though Trump counter-sued Deutsche Bank for $3 Billion when they called for his $40 Million personal guarantee on a loan to build one of his hotels, he now owes them somewhere between $130 Million and $300 Million, depending on who you ask. [sauce]
Now, just after the Deutsche Bank reached a settlement with the DOJ in the Russian money-laundering investigation, in January, that same bank has agreed to pay $7.2 Billion for misleading investors, and just this month was fined another $70 Million for manipulating financial instruments
With so much of his businesses’s financial practices tied to banks that specialize in hiding Russian money, and are at the heart of numerous DOJ investigations into global fraud and manipulation, it’s really no wonder that Trump is nervous about what might get exposed and would be interested in getting all of those investigations quieted down.
It’s just good business.

So you would go “oh well nothing I can do.” if the country you were living in was a dystopia?
