Asset

Guardian UK: ‘The perfect target’: Russia cultivated Trump as asset for 40 years – ex-KGB spy by David Smith
“This is what they exploited. They played the game as if they were immensely impressed by his personality and believed this is the guy who should be the president of the United States one day: it is people like him who could change the world. They fed him these so-called active measures soundbites and it happened. So it was a big achievement for the KGB active measures at the time.”

No surprise here. Actually, my only surprise is that it took 40 years.

This has been discussed before. What's new here is the testimony of the spy.

I agree, no surprise here. The Russians / Soviets play a long game. They cultivate certain people slowly carefully. Trumpf was an easy mark because of his enormous ego and narcissism.
