Putin ally’s $400M yacht docks in Florida ahead of Trump arrival - Commentary from the Community

I wasn't kidding earlier when I posted about Black helicopters flying overhead. 

Would you look at the size of this thing? Russian Oligarchs have docked in Palm Beach two days ahead of Trump's scheduled visit. 

The town is prepared. We are having a peaceful "NO THANKS" reception and streets are lined with school busses protecting the man currently occupying the Whitehouse. 

Look at the horrific display of wealth. Docking on our shores. Don't turn this into Russia. 

On the bright side, Trump won't be able to do irreparable harm to American citizens or poor innocent elephants while he's here. Or one can only home. 

Thanks, 

A Palm Beach Local

One of the world's most expensive yachts, owned by a Russian billionaire with close ties to the Kremlin, sailed into Palm Beach days ahead of President Trump's arrival.

The 533-foot Eclipse comes equipped with a pool, helipad, submarine and room for a crew of 92.

The mega-yacht, owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich and worth between $400 million to $500 million, arrived in Florida on Friday, according to the Palm Beach Post.

It's expected to spend two weeks docked about 8 miles from the President's Mar-a-Lago resort, where Trump is expected to spend Thanksgiving.

Earlier this year, Trump, who frequently travels to his own properties, hosted Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the seaside mansion.

He has met several times socially with Trump adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner. Their wives are good friends, according to security clearance forms filled out by Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

In 2014, Kushner and Ivanka Trump spent four days in Russia at the invitation of Abramovich's wife, Dasha Zhukova, according to Bloomberg News.

"There's no oligarch among those still accepted in the West who's closer and more trusted by Putin than Abramovich," Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a former oil magnate, told Bloomberg.

Kushner and others involved in the Trump campaign are under scrutiny as special counsel Robert Mueller investigates the possibility of collusion between the campaign and Moscow during the presidential election.
