Loser Donald Trump caught in a big fat lie again! Caught Saying"I do have a relationship with Putin"

MSNBC unearths three-year-old interview with Trump in Moscow: ‘I do have a relationship’ with Putin

P nominee Donald Trump has been facing scrutiny recently for his alleged ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Earlier this week, Trump came under fire for suggesting that Russian hackers should “find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.” In the same press conference, given in Florida on Wednesday, Trump said, “I never met Putin, I don’t know who Putin is. He said one nice thing about me. He said I’m a genius.”

Trump also said he hopes Putin “likes me” if elected.

But MSNBC unearthed an interview from three years ago that suggests Trump not only knows Putin, but also was aware Putin was monitoring him in some fashion. The interview was conducted by MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts in Moscow, ahead of a Miss Universe pageant.

“I do have a relationship, and I can tell you that he’s very interested in what we’re doing here today,” Trump told Roberts, when asked about his relationship with Putin. “He’s probably very interested in what you and I are saying today and I’m sure he’s going to be seeing it in some form. But I do have a relationship with him and I think it’s very interesting to see what’s happened.”

He then reiterated his frequent praise of Putin as a leader while disparaging President Barack Obama.

Trump claimed in an interview Wednesday with CBS that, “I have nothing to do with Russia.”

Trump goes to Russia and disparages our President while praising theirs.

There was a time when Republicans would have considered that tantamount to treason.
