Since the spy story broke and I have come to understand that having women operatives to gain "assets" is a classic KGB move, I just can't shake the thought that Melanie (sic) with her communist father, could just be suspect. Food for thought.

(7,947 posts)1. I don't know about Melania
But there's an untold story about how Ivana (first wife) got out of the Soviet-dominated country in 1972. (supposedly married an Austrian... never consummated, quick annulment.)

I have always thought of her as a "Natasha" in the old Bullwinkle cartoons. Same goes with Ivanka...too many Eastern Europeans involved with tRump during his lifetime.
"In this episode our enemy uses Bullwinkle's love of Hollywood to lure him..."

In the early 2000's Trump org starts laundering Russian mob money. Said Russian's place a number of female assets in place such that one gets picked up as Trump's mistress in order to keep an eye on him.
At some point it was revealed to him who she works for . . . which would explain why he is afraid of her.
