Kremlin’s ‘chief troll’ boasted last year of ‘insane’ plan to elect Trump — and laid out evidence Mueller still probing


The so-called “chief voice and troll for the Kremlin on Twitter” laid out what appears to be a confession of Russia collusion just four days after President Donald Trump’s election.

Kremlin propagandist Konstantin Rykov boasted on Facebook that he helped recruit Trump in 2012 to run for president as part of an effort to reshape the global new world order, reported the Washington Monthly.

The 38-year-old Rykov, an internet entrepreneur and former Russian politician, claimed Nov. 12, 2016, that he contacted Trump via social media the night President Barack Obama was re-elected.

“[Trump] lifted his plane to the sky and flew between New York and DC, calling the whole world through his twitter — to start a march on Washington!” Rykov posted. “Without a moment’s thought, I wrote him a reply, which sounded like this in Russian: ‘I’m ready. What should I do?’

“Suddenly! There was a thin squeak of warning in the DM,” he added, apparently referring to his direct messages. “It was a message from Donald Trump. More precisely a picture. In the picture he was sitting in the armchair of his jet, smiling cheerfully and showing me the thumb of his right hand.”

Rykov shared a photo of that image, which was also tweeted by Melania Trump on Election Night 2012, and then he explained in a second post how Russia’s admittedly “insane” strategy was launched to take over the United States by subverting social media and democracy.
