'Donald Trump Celebrated As 'Destroyer' of America on Russian State TV'

"Russian academic has described former President Donald Trump as 'the destroyer' of America on state TV.

"Andrey Sidorov, deputy dean of world politics at Moscow State University, made the remarks on the Russian talk show Evening with Vladimir Solovyov."

"A clip posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday shows Sidorov, Solovyov and other guests discussing their support for Trump and suggesting he could bring about 'civil war' in the U.S."

"In the footage shared by Julia Davis, founder of the Russian Media Monitor group, Sidorov declared: 'I am for Trump, I always was for Trump.' The GOP frontrunner is 'the destroyer,' he added, and the U.S. would 'fall apart' if Trump is re-elected in 2024."

"'If he gets elected, everything we said about civil war will be on their agenda, in reality. If one of the Democrats gets elected, this beat will go on,' Sidorov said. 'Trump can really get it to the point that our geopolitical adversary will fall apart—without any missiles.'"

I agree, but blame the obvious Fox News as the #1 suspect. Most of the others assist Trump by simply covering him, why waste valuable media space on a mentally deranged criminal? Most of his supporters don't watch those mainstream news outlets anyway, they watch right wing propaganda channels instead. CT c

10. Same washing. The coverage was never completely factual or accurate.

MANY big stories were not even covered. So no, it’s not just faux.
If we don’t stop funding their ability to lie, and misinform we are fucked. We probably are anyway.
I still think it’s funny that no one thinks the rapist is going to do what he’s gonna do.
