In a meandering press conference on Sunday, President Donald Trump repeatedly accused his Democratic opponent’s son, Hunter Biden, of receiving millions of dollars from the wife of Moscow’s late mayor Yury Luzhkov, asking why “nobody even has any question about it.”

But Trump himself sought to do business with Luzhkov’s government in the late 1990s, according to press reports from the time, SEC filings and comments made by Luzhkov last year. His attempts to build an underground mall in Moscow and renovate two major hotels there were part of a broader push to secure high-profile real-estate deals in Russia, which Trump was still pursuing as recently as 2016 with a proposal for a Trump Tower Moscow.

“I didn’t know about Moscow,” Trump said when asked whether he’d confront Joe Biden about the alleged payments to Hunter. “Three and a half million dollars from the mayor’s wife. I didn’t know about that. And he’s a very influential, powerful man in Russia, as you know. And it wasn’t me; I didn’t have anything to do with Russia. That came out loud and clear.”

A GOP Senate report released last week accused an investment firm linked to Hunter Biden of receiving $3.5 million in wire transfers from the wife of Luzhkov, whom the report noted was fired in 2010 over corruption allegations. The report cited unspecified confidential documents to make the claim, but Hunter Biden’s lawyer has denied that he ever had a financial relationship with Luzhkov’s wife, Yelena Baturina.

4. It's almost like he's...

Trying to engage in "swatting" people when they don't fulfill his wishes.

5. His deep psychological injuries keep popping into consciousness and interrupting his conversation

with odd interjections mid-stream in another thought. His word salads are often a revelation of his psychological issues. My MAGA neighbor does this too, a sentence defending Trump will veer off to someone was mean to me in grade school. Paranoia and fear are powerful emotions, and when they are this out of control there is little hope of rationality.
