"But the Russia quest continued. In his 
2008 speech, Donald Jr. announced that 
he had traveled to Russia six times in 
the previous 18 months. But, he said, 
“Russia presented enormous challenges."

“As much as we want to take 
our business over there, Russia 
is just a different world,” the 
younger Trump said. “It is a

“A Terrible Country” title at the top of
