I tried to verify the claim that "Trump bought 200 television sets for the hotel from Semyon Kislin, a Soviet émigré who co-owned Joy-Lud electronics on Fifth Avenue. That company is real enough...and I followed the named CEO at the following link on a pretty wild ride through browser searches, though...
