45. Trump's involvement with Russia started long ago

Thu Mar 2, 2017, 01:16 AM

Mar 2017

The Dworkin Report starts with a 1987 trip Trump made to Russia:

Exhibit 1 (December 14, 1987)
President-elect Trump on his travels to Moscow
According to a 1987 Interest Rate Observer article, President-elect Trump says he likes the
people in Russia, and the people like him.
Excerpt:
“He [President-elect Trump] has flown to Moscow. ‘I like the people, and the people like me,’ he says, sounding a little proprietary about the people.”

<SNIP>

Exhibit 2 (May 19
, 1997)
President-elect Trump commissioned a $40 million statue by a Russian artist
The statue was created by Russian artist Zurab Tsereteli, cost $40 million, and was a solid bronze likeness of Christopher Columbus. President-elect Trump had originally planned to place the statue in Manhattan, but it ended up in Puerto Rico. The statue would have been 6 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty.
