"Russia is fake news... I have nothing to do with Russia, I have no deals with them." said President Trump. There are many conspiracy theories about the ties between Russian Officials and Donald Trump. The business conspiracy, many American banks wouldn't lend money to Trump, so he borrowed money elsewhere, for instance. Russia.
"Russia makes up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets" said Donald Trump in 2008.
The assumption that Trump has Russian business ties hidden is exponentially growing, especially on social media websites like Twitter.
Donald Trump could disperse this issue by releasing his tax returns. The social media site SnapChat has a subscription open to the public called the Presidents Day Protests. There are many photos during the protest posted on SnapChat. One of the photos is about the current debate about Russia ties and Trump.
Some people believe Trump's campaign advisers spoke with Putin and Russian Officials during the campaign. The New York Times and CNN published Trump had "constant Contact" with Russian operatives before the election. Trump repeatedly declared the ties with Russia are nonexistent. "To the best of my knowledge, no person that I deal with had contacts with Russia during the campaign" said Trump". " I have nothing to do with Russia. Haven't made a phone call to Russia in years. Don't speak to people from Russia. Not that I wouldn't. I just have nobody to speak to. I spoke to Putin twice. He called me on the day of the election. And he called me on the inauguration, a few days ago." The president claims the media is making up news to hurt his image, stating "The press has become so dishonest" "The leaks are real, the news is fake."
Is it fake news like Donald Trump claims or are the rumors true?
What is interesting about this post is your final question: "Is it fake news like Donald Trump claims or are the rumors true"? I wonder--can you enhance this post by finding that out? If you use reputable sources, see what happens when the president gets fact-checked. Just because someone claims fake news doesn't mean it's fake news. The question might be: who do you trust more in this instance? CNN or President Trump? Is there documentation about either's public statements/falsehoods?
