as a ukrainian that (mostly) lived through political perturbations in Ukraine during 2003-2013, where connection between ex-president Yanukovich and Manafort was widely known, it is almost baffling to now see connection between Trump and Manafort. one would imagine somebody running for president of the US would have been more careful picking his team.
when scam perpetrators and con artists get indicted, reasonable people stay away from them or their future endeavors. Trump/Manafort for me is the best indication that the political campaign was full of shady business.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoTrump has shown time and time again that he isn’t the smartest cookie on the block, nor is he very willing to take advise from his advisors. All of this could have been avoided with a bit of caution. Collusion wouldn’t surprise me, but neither would this just being a set of very dumb choices.

He was also advising Reagan, GW Bush and Bob Dole's campaigns. Good thing they got him. Less corruption the better.
