Kremlin propagandists are 'brainstorming' how to reinstall damaged Trump in 2024: report
12 June 2023
Propagandists on Russian state television are busy concocting new ways to return twice-indicted former President Donald Trump to the White House in 2024, The Daily Beast's Julia Davis reported on Monday.
"Troubled by the magnitude of the criminal jeopardy their favored candidate is facing, the Kremlin's mouthpieces on state media's airwaves are openly brainstorming how to help Trump by undermining President Joe Biden—reflecting the efforts that are likely taking place behind the scenes," Davis explained. "After all, Trump represents Moscow's best hope that the U.S. will eventually stop supporting Ukraine, which would in turn allow Russia to swallow it whole."
For instance, Davis noted that although host Evgeny Popov and his comrades have lamented the dozens of criminal charges that were filed against Trump, they "are not nearly as giddy but still hold out the hope that the Republicans and their mouthpieces—like Russia's beloved Tucker Carlson—will manage to harm Biden and undermine U.S. aid to Ukraine."
Popov's approach is not unique. "Dmitry Evstafiev, Professor at the School of Integrated Communications, suggested: iIn the West, we should be supporting crooks, scumbags, and idiots—then we will succeed! We should support them and convince them that they are geniuses," Davis wrote.
Davis further pointed out that "The grand plan of forcing the U.S. to focus predominately on its internal issues is in line with Trump's long-standing pledge to greatly limit America's global involvement, concentrating mainly on trade and financial dealings."
