#1 Trump’s visit to Moscow was the beginning of a bromance that would upend American politics and eventually scandalize his presidency. It began when he met Rob Goldstone, a music publicist who was trying to help Emin Agalarov, a Azerbaijani pop singer, achieve his dreams.

#2 In early 2013, Goldstone was looking for Emin to get more media exposure, especially in the United States. He suggested that Emin perform at a Miss Universe pageant. The event had a reputation for featuring emerging talent. Trump was interested.

#3 In June 2013, Trump presided over the Miss USA pageant, which was owned by the Miss Universe company. The event was held in Las Vegas. Trump was solicitous of his new partners, asking Aras Agalarov what type of jet he owned.

#4 On November 3, Trump announced that the Miss Universe pageant would be held in Russia in November. He called Emin and Aras Agalarov the richest men in Russia.
