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.

    In the 60’s someone with ties to KGB would be arrested (and death sentence) for treason, now it can be president and no one does anything

        A plurality, not a majority.

        He may only have been short of the majority by a fraction of a percent, but no sense in giving him any more credit than is due or contributing to the myth of a mandate.

        Spanish and pro-Palestine people voted for him, the same ones getting deported and shocked for no giving a fuck about Gaza.

        It’s like jews voting for Hitler, after him repeatedly said that they are the problem

          Classic blaming your follow voter who are struggling instead of the government structure, laws and congress who did nothing about it while making money of it. Or the media, or the billionaire class.

            I’m not even american or live in USA, im from Europe and it’s a shitshow seen all this.

            Europe is getting screwed with Trump, Putin is getting a free card to do whatever he want.
            There was a time when Europe and USA where closed alies now USA are being seen as the enemy.

            BTW I vote on every elections, never on extreme left or right, unlike USA we have a proper democracy with multiple parties to vote

            PS: We have send politicians to jail or remove then from power for much less

        No, the machines were likely rigged in the swing states. Needs some forensic analysis to confirm.
