Trump's Business Worked With Felix Slater On Trump Tower During Campaign Writes WaPo

Building one of the tallest buildings in the world was on Donald Trump's mind when he decided to run for president in 2015. The vision of his Trump Tower Moscow loomed large as Trump's company pursued the massive Trump Tower project. With perfect timing and seeming deception, Donald Trump told the American public that he owned nothing in Russia, that he had no interests in Russia, that the Hillary supporters were obsessed with Russia. The confirmation to the Washington Post about Trump's plans for the Moscow Tower was voiced by several people familiar with the proposal and new records reviewed by Trump Organization lawyers.

Russian-born real estate developer Felix Slater urged Trump to come to Moscow to promote the real estate proposal, suggesting that he could get President Vladimir Putin to say “great things” about Trump, say insiders.

Slater wrote to Trump Organization Executive Vice President Michael Cohen “something to the effect of, ‘Can you believe two guys from Brooklyn are going to elect a president?’ ” said one person familiar the email exchange. Sater emigrated from what was then the Soviet Union when he was 6 and grew up in Brooklyn.

Slater is a key figure in the Dutch Zembla videos that attempt to layout the vast network of interconnecting ties between Trump and Russia, ones that also touch down in Israel, integrating some of Israel's wealthiest Russian Jewish billionaires. 

We covered the Felix Slater/Trump connection on Hillary Women News on Facebook before Trump became president.

Trumplandia: Trump Receiving Twice Daily Propaganda Of Media Praise, Positive Tweets & Royal Bows

It seems logical that an informed administration representing all Americans would want an informed overview of the great, the good, the bad and the downright ugly news and op ed pieces written about them. 

Not Trump!

Vice News reports that twice daily since Trump was inaugurated, a special folder is prepared for the president. The first document is presented as a feel-good acknowledgement of Trump's greatness at about 9:30 a.m. and the afternoon edition, around 4:30 p.m. Former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and former Press Secretary Sean Spicer both sought the privilege of delivering the precious propaganda 20-to-25-page packet to President Trump personally, White House sources say.

The folders are crawling with screenshots of positive-only cable news chyrons (those lower-third headlines and crawls), admiring tweets, transcripts of fawning TV interviews, praise-filled news stories, and sometimes just pictures of Trump on TV looking powerful. The president's fragile ego is not exposed to any negativity, as if Trump is living in the Magic Kingdom. 

“If we had prepared such a digest for Obama, he would have roared with laughter,” said David Axelrod, the senior adviser to Barack Obama during his first two years in the White House. “His was a reality-based presidency.”

Trump is one sick puppy!

Trumplandia: Trump Berates & Disrespects Australia & Mexico Presidents In Leaked Phone Transcripts

We do not condone the leak to The Washington Post of Trump's calls to his Mexican and Australian counterparts. While Trump's egocentric me-me-me, disrespectful dialogue with our close allies is appalling, it's impossible for any government to function with his or her every word leaked to the press.

Having said that, the transcripts are disgusting to us and a reflection of an American president who has no diplomatic skills and no respect for our closest allies. He is a national embarrassment to about 70% of Americans, and his poll numbers are plummeting.

Trump can jet off for the second time in two weeks to West Virginia, where they love him.But working as closely with West Virginia progressives as HWN does, I can assure you that they are making major inroads into Trump's base.

When 'The Art of the Deal' was written, it was never taken seriously by the legitimate press as a business bible, rather than a fanboy book for Donald Trump. As a highest-level Fortune 100 exec who has negotiated with businesses all over the world, and holding one of the biggest brands in her design director hands, I NEVER, NEVER, NEVER treated my partners in other countries with the disrespect shown by Donald Trump. What a joke he is!!! Unfortunately, he is a joke that is doing very serious damage to the United States of America. Repairing it will take decades. ~ Anne
