    Donald J Trump

    Yes, I get that. You don't just appoint a guy off the street to run your campaign for President. So I ask again. how does Trump know Manafort to trust him with this job? I mean, it wouldn't be at a "How To Be A Putin Puppet" training course...of course not...so how?

    Donald J Trump

    Wait, so how does Trump know Manafort? It wouldn't be through their joint love of laundering Russian money....of course not...so how did they get together?
