Fact Checking The Trump Putin Connection

It appears the claims about a Trump Putin connection are mostly BS:

A fact is defined as a “true piece of information”. How many of Josh’s facts [about the Trump Putin connection] were true?

Trump’s debt load was a Bloomberg estimate, not a fact.

Trump is highly reliant upon money from Russia. Open to interpretation, not a fact.

Trump Soho took investment money from Russian criminals. Fact.

Trump’s campaign manager used to work for Viktor Yanukovych when he was running for Prime Minister of Ukraine. Fact.

Putin could put Carter Page, Trump’s foreign policy advisor, out of business at any time. Not only not a fact, but untrue and ridiculous on its face.

Putin has aligned all state-controlled media behind Trump. False.

The Trump Camp only cared about softening the platform on arming Ukraine. False.

By the way, the Clinton Foundation has taken FAR more money from bad people than has Donald Trump. And frankly nearly everyone in US politics has worked or is working with criminals. That does not excuse such behavior, but to single out Trump is ridiculous.
