Trump Gets $100 Million From Russia

The Trump administration is under investigation for alleged ties to Russia, and now it seems as if his son Eric Trump may have revealed where the funding for his father's enterprise comes from: Russia. During an interview with reporter James Dodson, it was revealed via the reporter that the Trump enterprise's funds are based out of Russia. 

Dodson described his time spent with Donald Trump and his son on their National Charlotte clubhouse, saying Donald was "strutting up and down talking to his new members about how they were part of the greatest club in North Carolina." When Dodson asked Trump "What are you using to pay for these courses?" he responded with $100 million.

From there, Dodson got into a golf cart with Eric Trump and asked "Eric, who's funding? I know no banks--- because of the recession, the Great Recession--- have touched a golf course. You know, no one's funding any kind of golf construction. It's dead in the water the last four or five years.

" Eric Trump responded by saying "Well we don't rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia." He also went on to say "We've got some guys that really, really love golf, and they're really invested in our programs. We just go there all the time."

This is the second time someone has been shot at a rap related club event in the last month. In late August, a party hosted by Jeezy in Virginia Beach was cut short when a man was shot and killed at the venue. Details of what happened were scarce with police stating the man died from an “apparent gunshot wound.” The victim has since been identified by the mother of his unborn child on social media as Demetrius Darnell McCloud, also known as “Yang.” A GoFundMe account has been set up in his name.

The club has seen its fair share of violence. According to the Virginia Pilot that was the fourth shooting near the club in the last two years. The venue has since given up its liquor license.

A Dozen Arrested Protesting Trump

A crowd of over 1,000 amassed outside of New York's Trump International Hotel and Tower to show their resistance of the President's administration on Wednesday, March 8. They were organized in solidarity with demonstrations that took place in more than 50 countries, as the world celebrated International Women's Day. Here in the U.S., many of the thousands who congregated in cities across the nation did so under a general strike promoted as a "Day Without a Woman."

School districts in such cities as Virginia and North Carolina were forced to shut down due to the limited staffing the exodus of workers caused. And while the numbers for Wednesday's events didn't come close to the droves who took to the streets the day after Trump's inauguration, the message was as loud and militant as it has been from some vowing to keep women's rights a priority of the administration, and others calling for an ouster of the Commander In Chief. "Hey, hey, ho, ho, Donald Trump has got to go!" echoed from the scores of women packing Columbus Circle. Outside of Trump Tower alone, 13 women were arrested, including the march's co-founder Linda Sarsour, for reportedly refusing to clear the street.

Later on in the evening, over 2,000 people were estimated to have come together downtown in Washington Square Park. A projector shined the phrase "Women's Strike!" onto the arch raising over the park's entrance. Participants held up signs and took in the messages of speakers blaring from a megaphone.

Despite the hostility espoused against him, the President would take to Twitter to honor the occasion, writing, “tremendous respect for women and the many roles they serve that are vital to the fabric of our society and our economy.” Former President Barack Obama also shared words of solidarity, releasing a statement that read: "On International Women’s Day, @MichelleObama and I are inspired by all of you who embrace your power to drive change."
