Trump has sought a military alliance with Russia since 1987. In particular, he has wanted to partner with them on using nuclear weapons. I wrote about this in 2016: https://qz.com/871436/donald-trump-nuclear-weapons-putin-and-trump-release-statements-that-hint-at-increased-nuclear-armament/amp/?__twitter_impression=true …pic.twitter.com/g75RUUn2OR

Trump and Klores hired Roger Stone to help craft the 1987 ad. Stone, by this time, had partnered with Paul Manafort and Lee Water. The same group of sleazy GOP operatives -- now under federal investigation -- have been boosting Trump's political aspirations since the 1980s. pic.twitter.com/1icxliC6Pz

Take this article with caution as it's from LaRouchePub; haven't investigated author yet. But that it was published in 1987 is very damning.

Trump friend said in 1987 Trump would run for president only if he knew he'd win. That was his nature and still is. https://thecorrespondent.com/7106/how-trump-fulfilled-a-30-year-fantasy-of-becoming-president-with-a-little-help-from-the-kremlin/2009932931402-52e375f5 …

No, to my knowledge his first visit was July 4, 1987

He's expressed resentment at America at different points in his life; his 1987 screed NYT showcased it somewhat. He's always afraid things will come crashing down on him, so he wants to crash it first -- to control it. Now apply that to him being under federal investigation...
