04 July. On this date in 1987, Trump arrived in Moscow as a guest of the state.

[Grins]

On this date in 1987, Trump arrived in Moscow as a guest of the state. He was lodged in the KGB-run "National Hotel" on Red Square and given Vladimir Lenin's personal suite, a suite the KGB had bugged. He was in Moscow with his first of thee wives - the daughter of a Communist official. She had been monitored for the previous 10-years.

In 1987 you could not just "visit" Russia. You had the be invited; and before you were even invited, you had to be "vetted" - by the KGB. And there already existed at that time a KGB file on Donald Trump. A 1977 file created first by the StB, Czechoslovakia secret police, because Czech citizen, Ivana Zelnickova, had married Trump.

Under KGB directions to recruit Americans, the then-Soviet Ambassador to the UN, Yuri Dubinin, sought out Trump, hoping that one day he would be "useful" to Soviet "interests." Dubinin deemed Trump 'useful' enough to arrange his trip to Moscow.

Dubinin’s daughters confirmed that their father was on a mission as ambassador - to make contact with America’s business elite. And found Trump.

1. Are you sure of the date?

I tried looking it up.

[Joinfortmill]

3. Just google "when Trump first visited Russia"

Comes right up

[dchill]

5. Yep. Verified.

[Grins]

18. Yes.

Yes. Trump wrote in his ghost-written shitty book, "The Art of the Deal:"

“In January 1987, I got a letter from Yuri Dubinin, the Soviet ambassador to the United States" to visit Moscow.

Politico:

On July 4, 1987, Trump flew to Moscow for the first time, together with Ivana and Lisa Calandra, Ivana’s Italian-American assistant.

11. Thanks for the link.

I just read the entire article and it certainly shines some light on his past involvement with Russia.

14. I remember it was posted here

In 2018 I suppose but had to google it to find it, couldn’t remember the source


✌🏻

[Grins]

20. I wish you would.

Because I think I was the one who wrote that DU post. With a copy going to my Reich-wing friends and useful idiots to relentlessly defend Trump.

It had far more detail than this little reminder. I thought I had saved it, but I can no longer find it. It may have been on a another computer of mine that crapped out on me around that date.

19. I didn't want to do a thesis.

But I could have as there is so much more.

It started with a story in Politico, and with the publication of a book by a Soviet defector to British intelligence, not naming Trump, but that the KGB and put a real emphasis around the world in recruiting useful idiots.

One of the recruiters then was a 34-year old named Vlad Putin, trying to recruit Latin American students studying in East Germany where he was stationed.

8. Hilary wasn't joking when she called him a puppet

All the chaos and corruption was a distraction; this has been obvious from the start.

9. What a stroke of luck for Russia

that one "elite" businessman happened also to be a useful idiot.

[barbtries]

12. Trump arrived in Moscow as a useful idiot.

there, fixed it for ya

[joanbarnes]

13. HOLY COW!

[llmart]

15. That was my reaction after reading the article also.

Remember the debate with Hillary - "Russia, if you're listening." I remember getting chills when he said that, even more so than when he stalker around her back.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

16. Putin has been pulling traitortrump's puppet strings a long time.

[slightlv]

17. God, this is downright scary...

and begins to put the starting puzzle pieces into play. The fact that none of this came out during T's run in 2016 against Hillary is criminal, IMO. How much of this did the Enquirer trap and hide? No wonder Ivana had to die; she had the goods on Trump and Moscow from the very beginning. And they're already marked her as a liability for Trump and the presidency. Shameful. I recommend reading the whole article. It'll make your mind swim and get your dander up at how much has been hidden from us, the voting electorate.
