Russian State-Owned Media Taunts Trump With Post-Election Job Offer
The video uses deepfake technology to show Trump working for RT as a “special host.”

The organization created a video using “deepfake” technology that put the president’s face and voice onto an actor’s body, then showed him coming to work in Moscow as a “special host” just days after losing the election:



RT said the video was satire, but added: “Seriously though, Mr. President, if you do want a job let us know, the canteen is very reasonable.”

RT is registered as an agent of a foreign government and receives its funding from the Russian government.

While the video is being played for laughs and is an obvious fake, the U.S. intelligence community believes Russia has been attempting to interfere in the 2020 election in much more subtle ways, as it did in 2016 to aid Trump. The CIA said Russian President Vladimir Putin was likely directing the effort himself, The New York Times reported this week. FBI Director Christopher Wray also told Congress last week that Russia was engaging in “very active efforts” to “denigrate” former Vice President Joe Biden and help with Trump’s reelection effort.

In a last ditch attempt to avoid prison time and not have his fragile ego crushed during Biden's inauguration. He probably won't even give a resignation announcement or give any info to his cabinet. Pence will just be standing there like a moron not knowing what to do next. So get ready for Donnie Dumbass to dry hump a Russian flag later this year.

4. I think there is every reason to believe he will flee to some non-extradition nation ...

if he thinks for a second he's going to jail. He'd knock Milania and his kids out of the way getting on the plane.

He has a habit of fucking over and ripping off his family, friends and people who are stupid enough to believe that he likes them.
