47. About the 2012 Trump picture // Fredovich // gebukha

Thu Jul 13, 2017, 04:11 PM

Jul 2017

Using Google image search, I couldn't find sources where that pic was posted before Rykov posted it (I'm not very good at google image search). However, I found quite a few places where it was posted without the instagram filter/effect, i.e. in better quality. I assume that means Konstantin Rykov got that pic from somewhere else before he posted it on Instagram and Trump did NOT DM that pic to him. I wonder what the original source for the pic is? I suspected it was from Ivanka's Twitter feed, but I couldn't find it.

So I tend to think this was "just trolling", but maybe there's more to it and he just made that 2012 pic up to improve his story...

Also, Google Translate is better in some parts of the post.

I wondered about these and figured it probably means...
Donald Fredovich = Donald Trump (the Russian words he uses for Fredovich and Trump are actually different, I compared them)
gebukha = intelligence service
