Take a look at this picture.

This is 41-year-old Donald Trump in Moscow in July 1987 after being invited by the USSR Ambassador.

What do you notice?

There is some speculation that this trip was the start of a KGB effort to recruit Trump to be a Kremlin asset.

Former KGB officials, including Yuri Shvets, have claimed that Trump's 1987 visit was part of a broader strategy by Soviet intelligence to develop relationships with influential Americans.

Just two months after his return to NY from Moscow, Trump paid almost $100,000 dollars for full-page ads urging the US to abandon its foreign aid to its allies and demanded they pay for their own security or fend for themselves.

Sound familiar?

In the 2000s, the Trump Organization sold numerous properties to anonymous shell companies, some linked to Russian and post-Soviet oligarchs.

In 2008, Trump sold his Palm Beach estate, Maison de L'Amitié, to Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev for $95 million, a number almost 2x its market value.

BREAKING: Trump just pardoned reality show couple Todd and Julie Chrisley. They were convicted for a multimillion dollar bank fraud scheme involving fake documents and tax evasion. Meanwhile, he's deporting people without due process. What a joke.

Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted in 2022 for orchestrating a complex, multimillion-dollar bank fraud and tax evasion scheme. Over several years, they submitted fake bank statements, false audit reports, and bogus personal financial documents to banks in Georgia to fraudulently secure over $30 million in loans.
Once they spent the money, they filed for bankruptcy to wipe out the debt. After gaining fame from their reality show Chrisley Knows Best, they hid income to avoid paying federal taxes - depositing earnings into Julie’s mother’s account to conceal it.

You’re looking at the reason I became a Democrat.

In 1999, when I was 15 years old in Brooklyn NY, I volunteered to help a local campaign for City Council.

My parents were Republican and so I just went along. Image
I was naive back then, but I always viewed government as the best way to help people.

On this fateful day, I followed the candidate around with a stack of campaign signs and we began our neighborhood walk.
A voter walked up to him and shook his hand. He said in the Brooklyn accent I grew up with, “you know everywhere I go, I’m seeing homeless people sleeping on benches. If I vote for you what are you gonna do about it?”

Trump’s new Cabinet picks keep coming in and they aren’t just unconventional—they’re dangerous.

These choices will shake Washington to its core and set America back decades. Let’s break this down. 🧵
Rubio for State:

"Little Marco" now holds one of the most powerful positions in the world. Why did Trump appoint a former critic?
Not only does Trump live for groveling, but Rubio’s hawkish stance on China could escalate global tensions - and provide distraction for domestic power grabs.

Donald Trump announces he'll impose a 25% tariff on ALL products coming into the United States from Mexico and Canada on his first day in office.

This is going to be a disaster of epic proportions for the cost of goods.

We break it down here: 🧵
Automobiles and Auto Parts

Why: Mexico and Canada are integral to the North American auto supply chain, producing a significant share of vehicles and components (e.g., engines, transmissions, and electronics).

Impact: Cars, trucks, and repair parts would see price hikes, making both new and used vehicles more expensive.
Food and Agriculture

From Mexico:

Fruits and Vegetables: Tomatoes, avocados, limes, berries, and peppers are major imports. Prices for fresh produce would rise, especially during winter months when U.S. production is limited.

Meat: Pork and other meat imports from Mexico could become pricier.

From Canada:

Dairy: Cheese, butter, and other dairy products imported from Canada would become more expensive.

Seafood: Products like salmon and lobster would also see price increases.

If we uncovered some really embarrassing information about JD Vance, would you like to see it? Image
In 2017, JD Vance wrote what can only be described as a love letter to Barack Obama called “Barack Obama and Me.” 🧵 Image
In it, he writes

“It is one of the great failures of recent political history that the Republican Party was too often unable to disconnect legitimate political disagreements from the fact that the president himself is an admirable man…

For at a pivotal time in my life, Barack Obama gave me hope that a boy who grew up like me could still achieve the most important of my dreams. For that, I’ll miss him, and the example he set.” 🧵
