Putin has been watching Trump since the '70s - Malcolm Nance - Times Radio

"When the human manipulator Vladimir Putin, a former KGB officer, got into power, he saw that Trump was an easily manipulable person."

Donald Trump has been "under the watchful eye of the Soviet Union since 1977", giving Vladimir Putin the ultimate "dossier" on the US president to manipulate him from, says author and former US naval officer Malcolm Nance.

The interviewer does not get to Malcolm Nance until roughly 9 minutes in. Worth watching though.

... live under a really big rock to not be aware of this. Or to be a MAGA moron with a room-temperature IQ. The third, and most disturbing, possibility is that one is a denizen of the darkest corners of D.C., namely, Congress, curled up under its desk, gibbering, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" while covering its ears. Anything to avoid acknowledging the Bear fucking the Elephant in the room, and thereby having to do something about it.
