Bestselling author Elizabeth Graham, an authority on the Trump-Putin relationship, has issued a stark warning that the United States is succumbing to tyranny and despotism under a leader she calls a traitor. In a recent post on her popular Substack (egraham.substack.com), Graham draws on nearly twenty years living in Russia, Central Asia, and Ukraine to argue that President Donald Trump is controlled by Russian President Vladimir Putin and is rapidly transforming the U.S. government into a reflection of Kremlin operations.
Graham, whose book 'From Democracy To Democrazy: A Warning To All Americans' has received widespread acclaim, writes that many Americans fail to recognize Trump as a traitor, citing a quote from Cicero: 'A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.' She accuses Trump of selling his soul to Russia, alleging that the KGB 'trapped' him during a visit to Moscow, a claim she says was verified by former senior KGB operative Oleg Kalugin in an interview with Craig Unger for 'American Kompromat.' Graham also asserts that Russian organized crime launders money through Trump condos, citing The Guardian.
Graham points to specific actions by Trump that she says weaken the U.S., including removing troops from Germany, closing USAID, and undermining NATO. She claims that the closure of USAID could lead to 22 million preventable deaths by 2030, according to The Lancet and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and calls this a 'deliberate murder of Black people.' She also notes that Trump's net worth increased by $2 billion in the last year, according to Forbes.
Graham's book has received rave reviews, with one Amazon reader calling it 'an urgent warning' about the threat Russia poses to America. Clare Harwood, a publisher, remarked that Graham 'draws not from theory, but from lived experience in authoritarian and communist countries,' making her warnings particularly credible.
