Remind me again what TPB said
OK.
Trump is the most recognized name in international business,
Today that is a true statement. 2 years ago he was a top 50 recognizable name, maybe top 25.
remind me of all the international business dealings that Trump is involved in (particularly things that involve a bit more than just selling his name for example).
So let me get this straight... the fact that Trump is able to sell his name to 3rd party hotel/tower management groups for $millions all over the world means he isnt a recognizable business man. LOLz.
The fact that you care to even argue this shows your bias.

It's clearly not true. He's a recognised name but not for international business.

Amusing coming from you given the kind of approach you've demonstrated in your posts
Requiring fact based evidence is tough to follow if you are used to CNN assumptions based news, im sure. You'll get there :)

Good start. You'll get there :)

Who's playing the semantic games now? And I'd say they're playing off his celebrity more than anything, wouldn't you? And as for now, his business model clearly raises obvious conflicts of interest given the murky world of real estate.

But thankfully not as far as Breitbart and Infowars.

Does it matter why they are paying him? I just read that the baseline minimum Trump accepts in these deals is $5 million. Trump's brand is incredibly valuable.
This is such a stupid argument. I'm judging myself for engaging at all

In business terms that is small potatoes, so how does that equate to TPB's claims?

You should seeing as you seem to be trying to defend TPB's initial ridiculous claim.

All of Trump’s Russia ties, in 7 charts
A visual guide to the many links between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
What is the real story of Donald Trump and Russia? The answer is still unclear, and Democrats in Congress want to get to the bottom of it with an investigation. But there’s no doubt that a spider web of connections—some public, some private, some clear, some murky—exists between Trump, his associates and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
These charts illustrate dozens of those links, including meetings between Russian officials and members of Trump’s campaign and administration; his daughter’s ties to Putin’s friends; Trump’s 2013 visit to Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant; and his short-lived mixed martial arts venture with one of Putin’s favorite athletes. The solid lines mark established facts, while dotted ones represent speculative or unproven connections.
There’s nothing inherently damning about most of the ties illustrated below. But they do reveal the vast and mysteriously complex web behind a story that has vexed Trump’s young presidency from its start—and is certain to shake the White House for months to come.
