In light of the recent media reports regarding Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner meeting with Russian officials in the middle of last years Presidential Campaign in June for the sole purpose of collecting "information" about Hillary Clinton's Campaign --- when will the media start reporting about the Family Connections to Russia?

Ivanka, Donald Jr., and Eric are Children of Ivana Trump and Donald. Ivana was born in Czechoslovakia which was a part of the former USSR -- which is now Russia. This makes Ivanka, Donald Jr, and Eric -- Half Russian.
Meanwhile, Barron (who is just a child -- we know) is the Son of Melania Trump and Donald. Melania was born in Slovenia which again was a part of the former USSR - which is now Russia. Barron by extension is also -- Half Russian.
Tiffany Trump's Mother is Marla Maples who is and was born in Georgia. Tiffany is the only full birthed American child Trump has -- and Tiffany is nowhere to be seen 90% of the time.
Looking at the facts above (and they are FACTS) would it be hard for ANYONE with the brain power of a 5th grader to NOT believe that Trump is NOT loyal to Russia -- to the point he would use his ties (his Children -- four of them) birth ties to Russia via their Mother's -- to work with Russian Officials - to rig, cheat, lie, conspire and yes, (this too) commit TREASON to "Win" an election and overthrow the U.S. Government in one big whoop?
No!! It's not. It is high time for the MEDIA as in U.S. MEDIA to start reporting and reporting strong about Trump FAMILY CONNECTIONS with RUSSIA!

And even being a former Soviet Republic doesn't necessarily mean there's a strong loyalty to Russia. There are millions of Ukrainians, for example, who want nothing to do with Russia.

(7,006 posts)Both of these former USSR states are now part of Russia. They identify ethically with Russia. These are Trump's Russia connections. Hell, this is the same man that tried to say Barack Obama was born in Kenya which was NOT THE TRUTH what-so-ever, so please don't try and deflect his clear Russia connections via two out of three of his wives.

(43,174 posts)....does not automatically mean people within those countries "identify ethnically" with Russia. Many of them in fact wish to avoid all such identity.
I see what you're trying to claim here, but the fact of the matter is neither Slovenians nor Czechs automatically identify ethnically with Russia. As I said, they aren't even former Soviet Republics.
Trump's got plenty of other reasons to associate with Russia that have nothing to do with the birthplace of his former and current wives.

(464 posts)Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia were never part of the USSR. They were behind the Iron Curtain and had governments that were friendly with the USSR (and could be invaded by the USSR if they acted up). Trump* is a complete and total ASS, but while you can say Ivana and Melania were both raised as good communist girls who both had more privilege than the average person in their country, that does not change a country that kept it's identity to a SSR. An SSR is something like Estonia or Latvia (both of which were forcibly incorporate into the USSR but. are now free members of the European Union)
Czechoslovakia and Slovenia were not part of USSR, you could say Soviet block or something like that but they were not part of Soviet Union.

Trump's loyalty is to Trump and to money. His family is a means to consolidate money, that is all.
