In 1987, during the Cold War, Trxmp paid $130,000 for full-page newspaper ads in The New York Times, Washington Post, and Boston Globe criticizing U.S. defense commitments and arguing that American allies were not paying their share—positions that directly undercut NATO. These ads ran in September 1987, shortly after Trxmp returned from his first trip to Moscow in July 1987. That trip was arranged through Intourist, the Soviet government’s mandatory travel agency for foreign visitors, which handled and monitored virtually all Western travel to the USSR at the time. Later that year, on December 9, 1987, Trxmp was photographed meeting Mikhail Gorbachev at the U.S. State Department in Washington, D.C. These events are documented historical facts. That’s the same year that, according to ex KGB agents, Trxmp was recruited as an asset and given the codename Agent Kraznov. They said he was an ideal candidate for recruitment due to his high level of narcissism and his low level of intelligence. It’s also the same year that Trxmp and Epstxin met and became friends.
