Summary

Former Kazakh intelligence chief Alnur Mussayev alleges that the KGB recruited Donald Trump in 1987 under the codename “Krasnov.”

In a Facebook post, Mussayev claimed that the KGB targeted Western businessmen and that Trump’s file is now privately controlled by a Putin associate.

Though unverified, the claims fuel speculation about Trump’s ties to Russia, which he has denied.

Concerns about Trump’s relationship with Vladimir Putin persist, with former officials like Anthony Scaramucci suggesting an unexplained “hold” on him but offering no further details.

      I’m inclined to believe the vast majority of Americans see through his bullshit. Winning the popular vote through malicious voter suppression and election interference efforts does not equal popular support.

        A majority maybe, but not enough of that majority cared enough to vote. Even with the massive GOP voter suppression, if those who could vote actually did so, Harris would be POTUS. Guess it’s not a big deal that Trump’s a Russian asset, is actively seeking revenge on anyone who looks at him sideways, and is such a malignant narcissist that he’ll destroy lives and the country without a 2nd thought.
