Here we see 41-year-old Donald Trump in Moscow in July 1987, invited by the Soviet Ambassador. At first glance, it was just another business trip—but was it more?
Former KGB officials, including Yuri Shvets, claim this visit was part of a Soviet strategy to cultivate Trump as a potential asset. Just two months after returning to New York, Trump paid nearly $100,000 for full-page ads in major newspapers, urging the U.S. to abandon its allies and let them fend for themselves. Sound familiar?
Fast forward to the 2000s:
The Trump Organization sold numerous properties to anonymous shell companies—many linked to Russian oligarchs. In 2008, Trump sold his Palm Beach estate, Maison de L'Amitié, to Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev for $95 million—nearly double its market value.Coincidence? Or a pattern?
Follow the money.
