At The 2013 Miss Universe Contest, Trump Met Some Of Russia's Rich And Powerful

This article is from 2017, about events in 2013 at the Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow.

"It was there that Trump — then the pageant's owner — spent several days hobnobbing with Russia's elite and getting to know a wealthy developer whose connections his son would later seek to capitalize on."

I'm just trying to jog the memories of Americans who are clueless about what's going on today...especially for those who put him back in office.

Business Insider did a great expose on the Trump Putin connection. Let me see if I can find it.

@Sfwmson

I've been watching him for many years and I remember all these things too, when they happened. There have been exposes, but Americans are ignorant and also have amnesia...And they don't care as long as the price of eggs comes down,soon... That's as nicely as I can put it.

@cosmiclibrarian

Sadly, I think it's a deeper ignorance. It's willful. Us vs Them kind of thing. Gotta "own the liberals." and I get it, I feel the same towards them, with a measure of hope that they will see the truth.

It's never felt closer to people choosing sides for some big mash up that's bound to happen. I few people I know I have already asked them if they will feel safe when it all burns down.

All of the boogeyman problems keeping us from being "great again" will still be there after every obstacle in their "way" is gone.

@Sfwmson

And it's why I've always voted non-partisan. I'm very weary of all of it, and have been for many years. Civility is gone. I'm for inclusive fairness and true equality...for everyone, not just lip service.
