Ex-Soviet spy makes sensational KGB claim about Trump

  1. Trump is an objectionable half-wit.

  2. Even so, believing what randoms write on social media and Byline Times is pretty fucking stupid.

Right. When American banks caught on to Trump's riskiness, to put it mildly, they refused to deal with him, obliging him to turn to Russia.

Which in hindsight is looking on a par with the decision by the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna to reject Hitler's applications.

Yeah, those evil artists. It's all their fault

With the hindsight we now have, could well be. A sliding doors moment. Who knows, had he been accepted?

Agent Orange is a pretty good nickname for him I think.

агент оранжевый apparently

I think he is too big a loud mouth to be an agent of anything but doom.

If he's an agent, I wonder who his handler is...

That's actually not bad. I've been saying for a long time that there should be a demeaning nickname for Trump, as he uses them for others. Some commonly used taunts drive me crazy because they're essentially benign. I have a friend who keeps referring to him as The Orange Clown, and I hate these, because they mostly simply mock him as a fool, not the menace he actually is.

While I don't like taunting someone about their physicality ... I mean, I don't like it when people taunt him for being overweight, although a nickname like Fatso would certainly effective irritate him. But, while I don't like taunting someone for something like, in this case, his complexion, the term Agent Orange has a wonderful implication of long-term lethal danger, which I like.

The ignorance on this thread isn’t mind-boggling at all, it’s entirely predictable.

It’s 2025 now, the old lies and insults aren’t going to work, time to do some critical thinking of your own and not rely on legacy media.

Does this mean "You get better information from YouTubers, ranting for clicks, than from experienced journalists with qualified sources, professional investigative teams and first-person reportage"?

I suspect critical thinking doesn't mean what you thought it means.

The mainstream media in the US aren't reporting the anti trump/musk demonstrations due to fears of trump rercrminations. So whether you believe it as ranting youtubers or some independent media, at least they're reporting a different perspective rather than the now wholly trump whitewashed biased media.

Meidas Touch reports developments interspersed with video evidence which even if you think it's overplayed, you can make your own mind up.

Brian Tyler Cohen has great interviewees, credible people and many legal takes on the growing avalanche of litigation directed at the trump administration.
There are many other youtubers, and of course the sensationalist headlines can be a bit wearisome on some of the vlogs, but many produce good well researched and insightful content on aspects of devwlopements that never gets reported on the mainstream media.

Ohh. That’s the new phrase, is it? “Legacy media”! As opposed to right wing spin media.

Viviennemary · 28/03/2025 17:09

It would explain his bizarre reactions to the Ukraine/Russian war. Although I just love a conspiracy theory.

He’s saying today that he’s “very angry” with Putin. Oh sure, we believe you!

He talks in cartoon language as if he’s talking to children. Classic populism. And he’s not angry with anyone. They are probably planning all this behind the scenes.

Laundereddelrey · 31/03/2025 10:00

He cannot even control himself never mind someone else controlling him. He is a textbook dictionary definition narcissist that is all.

angsty · 31/03/2025 13:58

Yes, "very angry" is a ridiculous thing to say, like Putin is a naughty ten-year-old who has been rude to his auntie. Why can this man not summon some semblance of dignity and adulthood, even as a pretence?

He's undoubtedly the angriest president in American history. As well as being the dumbest, the whiniest, the most vulgar, the cruelest, the most gullible, and the least experienced.

Petuniaspetal · 04/04/2025 11:47

Well he is tariffing the penguins but not Putin or Kim Jung Un ... so there you go. 🥹Don't know what the poor wee penguins have done to upset the orange idiot.

Absolutelydontbelieveme · 11/04/2025 10:17

I think (always believed since his last presidency), when he was doing business many years ago, he was caught or was set up to be caught with indecent photos/videos of whatever scheme - most likely you know what - by Russian agents.

The rest is history...

Seems pretty certain that they have some very juicy kompromat on Agent Orange. 🍊

Breezeblock · 11/04/2025 23:16

It does seem as though there’s really nothing that could turn his supporters against him though? So while I agree he’s likely compromised I have to wonder at this point what he’d actually care about people knowing? Even felony convictions don’t seem to be an issue. He literally crows about deporting criminals (that haven’t even been convicted, without due process) to El Salvador when he’s a convicted felon himself. His supporters crow about the same thing!

You're correct that his die-hard supporters probably wouldn't care. He was right when he quipped about shooting a person on Fifth Avenue.
But he would himself care. He is very thin-skinned and he yearns to be admired. It killed him, years ago, when the New York City elites snubbed him.
