Demokratischer Stratege sagt Trumps Zusammenbruch voraus

Democratic strategist James Carville predicted the Trump administration will "collapse" within 30 days due to public opinion.

Carville claims the collapse "is already underway" based on Trump's approval ratings.

He cited polls showing Trump's approval dropping from the low 50s to the upper 30s.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, is moving to slash federal spending.

Thousands of federal workers are reportedly out of work as DOGE examines various agencies.

Musk and the Office of Personnel Management requested federal employees to…   detail their weekly accomplishments.

Several agencies have pushed back against this request, refusing to have their workers comply.

Carville believes it will be "easy pickings" for opposition in about six weeks.

He predicted Republicans won't be able to pass a reconciliation package to address the country's debt.

Carville stated GOP leaders will need to seek help from House Democrats on financial matters.

Bombenexplosion vom ehemaligen Geheimdienstchef: „Trump war Moskaus Aktivposten“

Alnur Mussayev, former head of Kazakhstan's security services and ex-KGB officer, claims Trump was recruited as a Soviet asset in 1987.

Mussayev stated Trump was given the code name "Krasnov" and was considered "ideally recruitable."

The article references the controversial "Steele dossier" that alleged Russia had compromising material on Trump.

Yuri Shvets, a former KGB major, also claimed Trump was "cultivated as a Russian asset" who parroted anti-Western propaganda.

According to the article, Trump first came to Russian attention in 1977 when he married Ivana Zelni…  ckova, a Czech model.

The article alleges Czech intelligence spied on Ivana and her father in cooperation with the KGB.

The narrative suggests Trump purchased 200 TVs for his Grand Hyatt hotel from Semyon Kislin, described as a "spotter agent" for the KGB.

Trump and Ivana's 1987 first visit to Moscow and St. Petersburg is portrayed as a turning point where Trump was allegedly fed KGB talking points.

The article cites declassified Prague files claiming Czech spies monitored the couple in Manhattan.

Author Craig Unger noted the recruitment wasn't planned decades in advance, but rather part of widespread Soviet recruitment efforts targeting "dozens and dozens of people."
