Yea right

They’ve been working him for decades

Alnur Mussayev, 71, a former Kazakh intelligence chief, made the explosive claim in a Facebook post on Thursday. He claimed that he served in the 6th Directorate of the KGB in Moscow, which was responsible for counter-intelligence support within the economy. One of its key objectives, he claimed, was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.” Mussayev wrote that in 1987 “our directorate recruited Donald Trump, a 40-year-old American businessman, under the pseudonym Krasnov.” He reiterated that the department specialized in recruiting spies and intelligence sources from the West, asserting once again that Trump had been brought into the fold.

You can't concede things which you don't own or control.

I'm officially making a concession to Russia that they can have Alaska, Florida and Texas in exchange for withdrawing from Ukraine. See? Easy!

I just don't get what he gains from this. He's going to enjoy the benefits for what? A few years before he dies?
