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.
With most things like this, I truly, honestly think the man is just too dumb to carry out what he’s accused of. Now, stupidity is absolutely not an excuse to get you out of the dumb shit you’ve done (in fact, it now seems to be a prerequisite for his position along with being incredibly wealthy and comically old), but I don’t think he’s behind a lot of these elaborate plans he’s accused of.
I think at the end of the day, he’s just a very old, very rich, incredibly gullible and dumb man who is very easily controlled by those around him.

He’s not the one behind the elaborate plans. That’s Putin.
I followed r/ the_donald when it first started. It was a joke, and rightfully so. It was fun. However, when anyone tried to call it out as the joke it was, they’d be banned within seconds. Any time of day. Those aren’t volunteer moderators.
I assume similar schemes were happening on Facebook and other social media. Honestly it was a master class in modern propaganda. I expected more research papers covering it by now.
They picked the horse. The horse didn’t pick them.
You’ll notice they love to fall back on this “just a joke” thing. It’s a theme. Like when you’ve ironically used the word “rizz” enough that it’s no longer ironic. That’s what they’re going for.
Was it Eric that said Russia pays for everything?
