    When Trump was involved in creating his book “The Art Of The Deal” he gave the farm away to the actual author. That guy got cover credit [unheard of] and half the profits [equally unlikely in the publishing world]

    The author has spend decades telling people what an idiot Trump is.

    We kind of expected that he would at least put up a tiny bit of resistance before betraying his own coutry and decades old allies, if nothing else then just for show. I mean, we didn’t even have to bring the kompromat up.

    russia probably

    Yea right

    They’ve been working him for decades

    Alnur Mussayev, 71, a former Kazakh intelligence chief, made the explosive claim in a Facebook post on Thursday. He claimed that he served in the 6th Directorate of the KGB in Moscow, which was responsible for counter-intelligence support within the economy. One of its key objectives, he claimed, was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.” Mussayev wrote that in 1987 “our directorate recruited Donald Trump, a 40-year-old American businessman, under the pseudonym Krasnov.” He reiterated that the department specialized in recruiting spies and intelligence sources from the West, asserting once again that Trump had been brought into the fold.

    You can’t concede things which you don’t own or control.

    I’m officially making a concession to Russia that they can have Alaska, Florida and Texas in exchange for withdrawing from Ukraine. See? Easy!

    I just don’t get what he gains from this. He’s going to enjoy the benefits for what? A few years before he dies?

      …it’s what he avoids: russian carrots are accompanied by russian sticks and trump’s kompromat runs decades deep, capital-punishment deep at this point…

      …his only course of survival is to double-down on whatever his handlers ask of him…
