Bestselling author Elizabeth Graham, an authority on the Trump-Putin relationship, warns that the United States is succumbing to tyranny and despotism under the control of a traitor. In a recent Substack post, Graham wrote that the July 4th Independence Day celebration will be remembered as the time when America fell to a small group holding absolute power, controlled by an enemy.
Graham, who spent nearly twenty years in Russia, Central Asia, and Ukraine, draws parallels between the Roman Republic's fall and current events. She quotes Cicero: 'A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.' She argues that many Americans fail to recognize Trump as a traitor, citing Mark Twain's proverb: 'It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It is what you know for sure that just ain't so.'
According to Graham, Republicans are unknowingly persuaded by propaganda techniques used in Russia a century ago. She contends that Trump, a convicted criminal and sexual predator, is transforming the U.S. government into a reflection of Kremlin operations. She claims Russia began a 'disinformation and deception' campaign after realizing it could not defeat the U.S. militarily, and that Trump became the KGB's top asset after being trapped during a Moscow visit, as verified by former KGB operative Oleg Kalugin in an interview with Craig Unger for 'American Kompromat'.
Graham asserts that Trump responds to Putin's wishes by removing U.S. troops from Germany, undermining NATO, closing USAID, and other actions that weaken the United States. She states that USAID was a source of intelligence for the CIA and that Putin stole millions from its programs. She links Elon Musk's visit to Moscow to the closure of USAID, predicting 22 million preventable deaths in Africa by 2030, according to The Lancet and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. She calls this 'deliberate murder of Black people' comparable to Hitler and Stalin.
Graham believes Trump may attempt to stay in power beyond 2028, similar to Putin's extended rule. She cites Russian bailouts of Trump's businesses, with $100 million deposited into Trump Organization accounts, and notes that Russian organized crime launders money through Trump condos, increasing his net worth by $2 billion in the past year, according to Forbes.

Her book, 'From Democracy To Democrazy: A Warning To All Americans', has received rave reviews. One Amazon reader called it 'an urgent warning' about Trump-Putin collusion, while a publisher remarked that Graham draws from lived experience in authoritarian countries, not theory.
