Yes, but that's not the whole story. For instance, Trump offered to cooperate with the FBI in the 1980s (https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-flipping-history-cooperating-fbi-2018-8?op=1). That means that US intelligence was also working him. And the result was the collapse of the USSR in 1991. We'll probably never know the whose story.
Your comment raises an intriguing, though speculative, dimension to the Trump-Soviet story. It’s true that Trump interacted with both the FBI and Soviet figures in the 1980s, but the implication that he was simultaneously cultivated by U.S. intelligence and instrumental in the USSR’s collapse lacks documented support.
The narrative in Information-Warfare Magazine focuses on psychological and ideological influence rather than formal espionage. It illustrates how state actors may leverage ego, ambition, and spectacle, not always through direct control, but through cultivation.
OMG. So you’re saying I can stay at the Trump Hotel in Moscow?? Did not know that. But this proves he is a Russian asset and plans to destroy Democracy with the help of his BFF Putin and we’re all screwed.
Krushchev was the Russian who predicted Russia would take down USA from the inside. He reached out to Trump in 1987 and now in 2025, Trump is taking down the USA.
If this is an intended takedown, it fails miserably. Had a Trump Tower been built in Moscow in the 1990s when Russia appealed to the West, then perhaps we'd have peace in the world today.
“The StB had been interested in Trump since 1977, when he married a Czechoslovakian-born woman, Ivana Zelníčková. News of the wedding reached the StB bureau in Zlín, the town in Moravia where Ivana grew up and where her parents lived. Ivana’s father, Miloš, regularly gave the StB information on his daughter’s visits from the US and his son-in-law’s burgeoning career.
The StB’s work on Donald and Ivana intensified in the late 1980s, after Trump let it be known he was thinking of running for president.”

Pride, is the biggest problem with Trump.
Yes
Trump was groomed. He was a useful idiot for the Russians to use against the US.
Trump is a useful idiot to ANYONE that compliments him and gives him money. He has no morals, no ethics, no empathy. Trump is vested in Trump.
