“What is Donald Trump to Putin? Just another Yanukovych.”—Michael MacKay

Join tonight to read the entire American Monster series, and access the podcast versions of the print reports.

When writing the fourth installment of American Monster, my fingers flew across the keys — investigating Trump-Russia has been my life’s work. And yet, even I was shocked at the totality of Trump’s depravity.

My podcast partners and I will be chatting about the series tonight on RadPod & Chill, and also the lessons we learned from Ruth Ben-Ghiat.

Thank you to everyone for your support of independent investigative journalism, and women who fight facists.

I have a banger running in Byline Supplement this weekend. It never gets old.

American Monster - Part 4 preview

I intentionally profiled Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, and Roy Cohn as the first three in my American Monster series before getting to Donald Trump. Trump does not exist in his current form without Manafort, Stone, and Cohn.

• Gray cardinal Paul Manafort, fresh from installing a pro-Putin mobster into the presidency of Ukraine, then turned his attention to Trump, working for free to get ‘whole’ with Oleg Deripaska.

• Political ratf**ker Roger Stone had been grooming Trump for office since the ‘greed is good’ era. Stone, who like Trump, was mentored by Roy Cohn, a mob lawyer with a gift for amorality.

• Roy Cohn taught Trump and Stone to deny, deflect, countersue, and never admit defeat, while using indictments as an opportunity to manipulate the narrative away from facts and toward victimhood with a dose of patriotism and make-believing prosecutors had a vendetta.

In order to clearly see these US criminals impacts on global fascism, please read each of their profiles before diving into the fourth in the series — disgraced, impeached, and indicted US criminal Donald Trump.

“Amazing we had a megacrook in the White House — what a triumph for international evil.”—Ruth Ben-Ghiat

To understand what a triumph for international evil the installation of Trump was in our nation’s highest office we have to go back forty years…
