As stated in the OP. Why did he lie about it?
What on Earth is wrong with you guys suffering from TDS? International businessmen do business with other countries.
Changed WHAT "business habits? Investigating opportunities and meeting with people. HORRORS! HE MET with someone 25 years ago. He continued holding meetings and investigating possible opportunities.OK so that's two people who didn't read the first sentence in the OP. Will the others continue the pattern of willful ignorance and denial?
Let me ask you this? Do you do have any evidence that backs up the notion you are insisting that Trump actually changed his business habits after he became President and/or during the election?
So, you got nothing but a long rambling flow of verbal diarrhea.NeverTrump said:Because from what I can see: Going golfing, promoting his businesses, promoting his friends businesses, fleecing gov't workers and secret service by charging them to stay at his clubs, holding $10,000+ plate dinners at mar-a-lago where members can pay to influence the President, having campaign rallies, having campaign events in Trump hotels, GOP having campaign events in Trump hotels, GOP fundraising, NRA Fundraising, lifting sanctions on his Russian buddies' businesses, hiding money in the inauguration fund, paying off Stormy Daniels, GoFundTheWall, and The Trump Foundation it sounds like he is getting rich off his Presidency (More likely paying off mountains of debt in questionable no so legal and no so cool manners). So now that you have my evidence, what's yours that he suddenly became a statesman in 2015?
Your questions and one-liners are diving into pitiful apdst territory. This topic is for people who would like to discuss the topic of the unchanging behavior of a Russia-lover. You appear to not be up to speed on the topic since you continue asking basic pointless questions.
Held my nose and read the article. Came away with a conclusion that can be summarized as BFD.At least I read the article.

LOL it's hard to read when you're alternatively laughing so hard your eyes are filled with tears and you're rrolling your eyes over what liberals pose as facts.We are desperate need of a remedial reading class for conservatives.
No, no, no....you seem to be confused. The question was, "Did he have a deal?", which is a "yes" or "no" question. So answer the question.

Who's Karl Rove? (sarcasm alert).What have they been doing since Karl Rove's White Board has dissipated??

And there is nothing wrong with that. But when an international businessman who is running for President lies to the American electorate about the extent of his business interests in a long time adversarial state such as Russia. That is wrong. That is information the electorate deserves to have in order to make an informed decision upon casting their votes. Even worse is that adversarial state knows that this businessman/Presidential candidate lied and that makes Presidential candidate susceptible to being compromised by that adversarial state.

As someone who is fastidious about proper language you breeze right by the obvious point made early that each of your links are spoken in the present tense, with the exception of the Miss Universe comment where he admits "I've had dealings there over the years . . .", which shows he is capable of using verbal tenses. Then you totally destroy your authority with a total throwaway comment about his "dementia". Not your best work.Maybe his dementia kicked in, thus accounting for why/how he forgot to mention the deal he sought in the 1990s....

- During the second presidential debate, Hillary Clinton says Russia is trying to help elect Trump, "maybe because he wants to do business in Moscow." Trump calls this assessment "so ridiculous," adding, "I know nothing about Russia ... I don't deal there."

- Trump tells reporters that he has "no deals that could happen in Russia because we've stayed away."

- "Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!."

- "I don't know Putin, have no deals in Russia."
- May 11, 2017:
- "I have had dealings over the years where I sold a house to a very wealthy Russian many years ago. I had the Miss Universe pageant -- which I owned for quite a while -- I had it in Moscow a long time ago. But other than that, I have nothing to do with Russia."
Maybe he meant deals that didn't fall through as opposed to deals he attempted to bring to fruition; however, if that's what he meant, it sure is equivocal, "splitting hairs," given that anyone in their right mind knows damn well the temporal context of what Trump was repeatedly asked about the whole of his business career. I mean really, who among us in the "real world" forbears such puerility from others? I dare say none of us. His presuming that attesting to a strict technicality is tantamount to one's child, in response to "did you hit your brother yesterday," answering "no" because it was actually today that the child did so, and one accepting that "no" as a truthful response.
It wouldn't have cost him a thing, provided there were no "shady" or illegal aspects involved, to have said he attempted execute the Trump Tower Moscow deal and the 1995 Moscow project, but instead of just saying so, he committed lies of omission regarding both. The only "rational" reason for him to have demurred mentioning both is his thinking there was something afoul afoot with each of them.
He lied because he knew you lefties would make a mountain out of a mole hill. And, he was right.

Apple sells phones in Russia, those dirty a-holes!
Not at all, what's funny as hell is you guys full-fledged scream-fest over twenty-five year old "news". Take an English course, learn the difference been "I have" and "I had".Nothing funny about it. Those are the facts. Those are his words. Are you denying that he said those things?

Are you purposefully putting up this clueless front? There was no "deal" in 1995, as Trump has said. There was no Trump Tower deal - as the Trump said. He did deal with Russians for Miss Universe contest - as he said. Those are facts.I haven't seen you post any facts and your two line pitiful denials aren't facts.
The great international businessman did not get a deal with his Russian lovers. It does beg the question why, wouldn't you say? Is he a crappy business man or is Russia playing him like a fool? That may or may not be a trick question :mrgreen:
Apple has never lied about that either. It appears that Apple is not trying to hide anything.

Really? He always screams witch hunt whenever a witch is found. He's not the genius you are looking for. Also, The President should be above petty politics and at least admit wrong-doing...
