(THREAD) In light of tonight's breaking news on Trump's golf courses, I'm posting a few relevant excerpts on this topic from PROOF OF CONSPIRACY. Hope you'll read on and share this with others who may be interested.

1/ First, here's the breaking news from Natasha Bertrand of @politico:

@politico 2/ We know how much the Trump Organization brings in. So we know that the amount of money Trump has put into his golf courses in renovations (let alone the purchase of new courses) is... impossible. There's no identifiable source, and the Trump Organization won't provide answers.

@politico 3/ The timing of Trump informing New York Republicans—and many, many others, elsewhere—that he will be running for President is *critical*. Trump claims the date was June 2015... the truth is that Trump made it widely known he was running for President...

...in November of 2012.

@politico 4/ Upshot: Trump begins getting EXTRAORDINARY financial largesse from the Emiratis—and EXTRAORDINARY business offers from the Russians—*well* after he has made it publicly known that he will be vying for the American presidency in 2016. The Emiratis knew what they were... buying.

@politico 5/ It was because Trump's golf-course finances didn't add up that Golf Magazine (James Dodson) asked Eric Trump in 2013—after Trump knew he would be running for POTUS, and while many suspected (and some had been told) he would—where the Trumps got the cash for their golf courses.

@politico 6/ Eric, knowing Trump would be running for POTUS but not knowing ties to Russia would be politically problematic—as the Kremlin wouldn't begin its election-interference campaign for another year—told Dodson that the Russians were lending to the Trumps because US banks would not.

@politico 7/ This is one reason that when MSNBC reported that a source close to Deutsche Bank said Trump's loan documents show Russian-oligarch co-signers, it fit with the existing evidence. Those who say MSNBC "retracted the story" are lying; MSNBC said the story was reported *too early*.

@politico 8/ The difference between MSNBC "retracting a story" and "retracting the *reporting* of a story" is the difference between a) the media mis-calling a state on election night, and b) the media announcing that the result in a given state is "too early to call." This was the latter.

@politico 9/ As The New Yorker reports (and as PROOF OF CONSPIRACY details), the Trump Organization's golf-course empire is... *an impossibility*. So tonight's reporting that Trump has illicit funding sources is no surprise—even if the notion that he's using the *military* is an *outrage*.

@politico 10/ As I said at the beginning of this thread, military patronage of Trump golf courses isn't enough to explain the "missing" hundreds of millions—repeat: *hundreds* of millions—in Trump's golf-empire finances. PROOF OF CONSPIRACY offers much evidence of *foreign* patronage. /end
