There are an increasing number of articles about Trump (KGB codename Krasnov) and his alleged involvement with the KGB, not just from 1987 but a decade earlier. Verifying the truth of any of them is virtually impossible because even if Putin’s FSB (and/or Trump’s CIA) were to confirm it, many would arguably justifiably question if they were telling the truth.
If you are a Trump disciple don’t just dismiss this brief article as promoting a slanderous conspiracy theory. Why? If you actually read the articles referred to below you may find it is a peculiar sort of compliment. Many famous politicians have been "honoured" by having codenames attributed to them and being listed as agents of influence by the world’s leading intelligence agencies.
Some facts are undisputed though. Trump visited Moscow on 4 July 1987 (American Independence Day) to explore potential real estate developments and later met Gorbachev on 9 December 1987 at the State Department in Washington, D.C. during a luncheon held in Gorbachev's honour. That tells us one thing for sure. Before 1988 at the latest, the KGB would have had a voluminous file on Trump. According to Craig Unger (author) and Bill Fairclough (ex-British Intelligence) that file was created in the 1970s.
Listed below are several articles most of which support the suggestion that Trump was a KGB agent of some sort or another and beg the question as to what kompromat the FSB/KGB hold/held over him bearing in mind Trump admits to having been a friend of Jeffrey Edward Epstein for decades and whom he described as a "Terrific Guy".
Before jumping to irrational conclusions about these allegations (as some such as the Metro have), let’s not forget that (1) there are many varieties of intelligence agents and (2) that you can be an agent of a state intelligence organisation unwittingly. For example, you could be listed as an agent of influence (with or without being given a code name) and there are probably millions of them documented in the files of the world’s largest intel agencies (including the CIA). Since several British Prime Ministers have discovered and acknowledged they were listed as agents of influence of enemy states and given codenames, the fact that Trump was should come as no surprise.

5 小时前I am a Trump supporter. 1. Do I believe Trump serves Putin? No. I think he honestly is a Patriot to the core. 2. Do I believe Russia/Putin cultivated/cultivates Trump? Yes. They certainly try. 3. Do I believe Trump is engaged in an effort to outmaneuver Russia? Yes. 4. Do I believe that Russia is a real and present danger? Yes. 5. Do I believe the IC keeps the Russia thing going as a justification for its activities? Yes, as a “managed conflict.” What is the solution to dealing with Russia? Some think it is to break Russia up so that it’s no longer a powerful singular entity. I think it is to infiltrate Russia and change the mindset of its citizens. Then, to help them subvert the tyrannical regime they live under. Wash, rinse, and repeat in China and Iran. Take nothing from them. Give them freedom.
