A Russian asset: Trump’s policy behavior confirms evidence he was groomed by the Kremlin since the 1980s

The “Kyiv Independent” published an explosive interview on February 26 that torched any lingering doubt about President Donald Trump’s deep ties to Russian intelligence

Posted by Insights | Mar 8, 2025

Excerpt: "Many Americans once dismissed reports of #Trump’s ties to Russian intelligence as wild conspiracy theories. Yet [#CraigUnger]’s findings, presented in his books 'House of Trump, House of #Putin' and '#AmericanKompromat,' outline a consistent chain of events stretching back more than 40 years.

"Soviet operatives, later replaced by Russian #oligarchs, funneled suspicious cash into Trump’s real estate deals and played upon his narcissistic vanity. Over time, the strategy shaped Trump’s worldview to align seamlessly with the Kremlin’s long-term interests. Today, Russia reaps enormous gains as the White House methodically undermines Western unity, weakening NATO, and eroding confidence among America’s most vital allies.

"The pattern was on full display during Trump’s U.N. address, where he castigated Ukraine for 'bringing its troubles on itself' and chided Europe for failing to 'handle its own backyard.'

"In those remarks, he reversed decades of bipartisan consensus that the United States should confront unprovoked aggression in Europe. Instead of backing a nation under siege, Trump effectively blamed Kyiv’s government for the devastation wrought by Russian firepower.

"Putin’s state media wasted no time broadcasting those segments, painting the U.S. president as an enlightened leader who recognizes the Kremlin’s alleged right to expand its sphere of influence.

"Unger’s new revelations sent shockwaves through Washington circles. Once portrayed by supporters as a patriotic firebrand, Trump now looks more like a Trojan horse carefully cultivated by Russian intelligence. The journalist’s interview with the Kyiv Independent highlighted key phases of infiltration: financial bailouts for Trump when U.S. banks shunned him, orchestrated praise from Russian figures, and direct contact with individuals linked to the KGB’s successor services.

"The result, Unger insisted, was a president whose foreign policy systematically furthers Moscow’s objectives — even if he never receives direct orders. In intelligence parlance, that is the very definition of an 'asset.'

"Those who scoff at the notion that a sitting U.S. president could be co-opted by a foreign power willfully ignore reams of evidence. Unger references KGB files showing that Soviet handlers identified Trump’s egotism and business desperation as exploitable weaknesses. They recognized that lavish deals, flattery, and carefully timed loans could bind him to Russian interests."

It seems to be obvious for every politically savvy person.

The 2 elected members of the government tried to generate a reason to withhold any further aid to UKR b/c so many congressman still support it. A pretext, so that tRump can carry out his Kremlin marching order as a MAGA. - Moscow's Asset Grifting America.1)

Alles wird viel klarer, wenn man sich endlich der bitteren Wahrheit stellt, die mehrere Kennner der Politszene schon seit längerem schrieben. Einer sogar mit 2 langjährig recherchierten Büchern, der Autor #CraigUnger, hier im Interview:

Donald Trump ist schon seit Jahrzehnten ein "asset" des Kremls!...

In my view #Trump is, alas, a very likely nxt POTUS.
As could be seen in his recent 2h-propaganda piece by his western "PR manager," #TuckerCarlson, #Putler retains his mental faculties, in contrast to The Former Guy. He is too cunning to discard his most valuable asset on whom he probably has truckloads of kompromat and whom he has been cultivating 4 decades.

He is the chief-#MAGA = #MoscowAgentGriftingAmerica, #AmericanKompromat, as #CraigUnger called it.

📚 #CraigUnger’s book made headlines because of a charge from an ex-#KGB colonel, #YuriShvets, that Donald #Trump has been a #KGB asset for 40 years

Former national security director #JamesClapper has described him “in effect … an #intelligence asset”; and former #CIA director #JohnBrennan has said #Trump is “wholly in the pocket of #Putin”. So Shvets’ accusation isn’t really very surprising

A new book on the old president is titillating but scattershot, a compendium of wild stories and salacious accusations

“Trump had been thoroughly compromised by Russia and was a grave threat to national security. But the FBI wasn’t doing anything about it!

One reason for that may have been that on far too many occasions, FBI men in sensitive positions ended up on the take from the very people they were supposed to be investigating”

Did the FBI’s Charles McGonigal Help Throw the 2016 Election to Trump?

The shocking indictments against the former head of counterintelligence for the FBI in New York raise many dark questions.
