Is Ivanka a cousin of Putin?

[trof]

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin was born on 7 October 1952 in Saint Petersburg, Russia,[28][29] the youngest of three children of Vladimir Spiridonovich Putin (1911–1999) and Maria Ivanka Putina

I dunno.
Looks suspicious to me.

1. Probably not, but

Melania was raised under Communism and her father was a party member

2. I have often wondered if Melania was a sleeper agent. nt

3. No, but she's pals with Putin's girlfriend.

They vacationed together this summer. http://www.snopes.com/2016/08/15/ivanka-trump-socializes-with-wendi-deng/

4. It's Maria Ivanovna, not Maria Ivanka.

Which means her father's name was Ivan (which is a common Russian name).

5. I don't know, but some people are asking the question, okay?

So we have some people that are just like "Well maybe there is something to that and we should look into it". Now, I don't think there is anything to it, but maybe there is and maybe we should talk about it. I don't know anybody that is against asking questions.

6. I think my people are looking into it. Bigly.

7. Perfect response.

8. Maybe she's his god daughter

Ivanka certainly is a Russian name.
