President-elect Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday that he has NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!
Trump, however, has a long history with Russia, trying repeatedly to build luxury properties in Moscow, holding a beauty pageant there, and benefiting from heavy investments from Russians in his properties around the world. . .
SNIP
Trump did not wind up making a deal, but he soon tried again. . .
SNIP
In 1996, Trump sought to build luxury condominiums in Moscow, but the deal never happened. Trump tried again in 2005, signing a deal for a possible Trump building in a converted pencil factory, but this also failed to materialize.
SNIP
Russia is one of the hottest places in the world for investment, the senior Trump said in 2007. We will be in Moscow at some point.
SNIP
Trumps ambition to build in Russia was still unfulfilled, and he made another effort in 2013. . .

Who doesn’t want to see them squashed? But sometimes the best way to do that is just to ignore them.

Mr. President, dont give dignity to this fake news that it doesnt deserve. Take your own advice and move on. That didn't work too well for "W". Give 'em Hell, Donald!
BTW the "Fake News" meme has come back to bite the MSM in the @$$. Love it!

No need to disagree even. But I’ve seen the mistakes of taking the bait too many times to just jump for it whenever it’s offered.

In 1996, Trump sought to build luxury condominiums in Moscow, but the deal never happened. Trump tried again in 2005, signing a deal for a possible Trump building in a converted pencil factory, but this also failed to materialize. In other words, Trump has nothing to do with Russia. No deals, nothing. I was going to post the same thing.

"Because that strategy worked so well for George Bush. "
I see your point. But Bush didn't just ignore it. He kept trying to appease the left when they did nothing but attack. I'm suggesting appeasement.

That didn't turn out so well. I mean I suggest we don't appease them. That only makes them more liberal.

benefiting from heavy investments from Russians in his properties around the world. OK, help me out here. Russians who have embraced capitalism should not benefit an American business(man)? Further proof of the commie bent of the enemedia!
