52. Funny thing....

Thursday

While it is hard to pinpoint the beginning of Trump and Putin’s relationship, Trump claimed to have met Putin while Trump was still a private citizen.

Among other times, in Oct. 2013, Trump mentioned knowing Putin in a late night interview with David Letterman. “I’ve done a lot of business with the Russians,” Trump said, adding that they’re “smart” and “tough.” He went on to say about meeting Putin, “He’s a tough guy. I met him once,” though he never clarified when this first meeting was.

So even if Trump is lying about having met Putin, his envy was already in action back then.
