White Russian -- does he, or doesn't he?
Trump's verbal bromance with Putin has raised a lot of eyebrows for a while now, particularly in the national security arena. Then, earlier this week, he invited Russian hackers to find Clinton's emails; after rebuke, he said he was being sarcastic.
We haven't seen Trump's tax returns, so we don't know much about his investments there and vice versa. But, Trump's son is on-record stating in 2008 that the Trump portfolio was very Russia heavy.
This morning, Trump claimed he's never met Putin at all and has no relationship with him. He also insisted that he knew Putin would never invade the Ukraine. George Stephanopolous then pulled up video and interviews of 3 different occasions recently where Trump claimed he had met Putin and how nice and respectful Putin's always been to him, etc... Trump first essentially responded that he was just saying he met Putin before because Putin said something nice about him, and then he said that he doesn't THINK he's ever met Putin.
Jeesh. Really stupid shit, at the very least.
