  1. *Encyclopedia of the Russian Empire*
    *2036 Edition*

    *_The collapse of the USA_*
    . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
    The dominant world power of the twentieth century, the United States of America, could be elegantly integrated into the Russian empire by our great leader Vladimir Putin through a genius master plan which origins date back to the early 1990s.
    Leader Putin realized that the Russian empire was not able to challenge the USA in open confrontations, back then. Therefore leader Putin, based on his experience from his time in Russian intelligence services, started to develop a strategic initiative to undermine the political system of the arch enemy with the aim of installing a US president.
    The long list of first measures included:
    – infiltrating media outlets like Fox News
    – infiltrating the US National Rifle Association
    – infiltrating the Republican Party
    – a search for suitable candidates for Russian led US presidency
    The career of one of the potential candidates, a US real estate mogul named Donald Trump, developed promisingly. After two decades of business relationships with Russian oligarchs, laundering money through real estate transactions, Mr. Trump was not only totally indebted to Russia but also totally compromised. And his character traits, narcissism and greed, made him a promising candidate for further development.
    This included measures to boost his popularity. Besides books written by ghost writers, his TV appearances as the host of the show “The Apprentice” made him a public figure with perceived qualities as a successful businessman and leader.
    In 2015 leader Putin ordered Donald Trump to run for the US presidency.
    The Russian efforts to support this attempt included:
    1.) Infiltration of multiple social media platforms with Russian fake personas and trolls as well as bots to multiply specific messages
    2.) Invitations to high-ranked NRA officials and members of the Republican party to Russia
    3.) Bribing and extorting strategic persons within US politics and media outlets (Several Novichoc assassinations at the time added credibility to these extortion threats.)
    4.) Leaking exactly targeted and exactly timed negative information to discredit Hillary Clinton, the presidential candidate of the Democratic party.
    On November 8th, 2016 Donald Trump won the US presidential election and immediately started his successful work to strengthen the Russian empire.
    His main achievements included:
    1.) Destruction of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), in which the USA used to have a leading role
    2.) Weakening the leading US role in world economy through new domestic and international policies
    3.) Weakening the leading US role in world trade through extreme, factually unjustified tariffs
    4.) Destabilizing the US federal system by vastly increasing the US federal debt and using federal forces as a new presidential police
    5.) Decimating the US population by over a million through exploitation of the Covid-19 pandemic
    After losing the 2020 presidential election, but refusing to step down as US president, he ignited a civil war in December 2020.
    After five months of unrests the united forces of the presidential police together with NRA equipped civil MAGA forces prevailed and Donald Trump declared himself president for life on May 17th, 2021.

    In all this Russian experts under the leadership of Vladimir Putin advised president Trump in every detail.

    After two years of preparations president Trump declared the Union of Russia and the USA in his Christmas speech on December 25, 2023, explaining it as the biggest peace initiative in world history.

    On his death bed on December 18th, 2024 Donald Trump was granted the Russian patriotic medal of honor of the highest rank by leader Putin himself for his invaluable role in strengthening the Russian empire, which in our US colonies is known as “United States of America and Russia” (USAR).
    Donald Trump died on January 5th, 2025 in Florida and was buried on the Cemetery of the Russian Heros, Moscow on January 13th.

    1. You are either a very creative thinker or a time-traveler from an alternate dimension. This is terrifyingly believable. But fortunately, God is in charge and 45 will become incapacitated and weakened from effects of Covid-19. Despite his belief that he’s “a perfect specimen” and “I’m extremely young” he is neither.

    2. @Truth Finder
      Thank you!
      Yes, I am a time traveler, coming from the German 1930s.
      My family has seen the Nazis and has suffered from their evil empire of hatred and xenophobia.
      You American friends haven’t had that kind of Hitler experience, until now, until Trump.
      He’s an evil, lying and bragging demagogue. And he’s worse than Hitler. Since Hitler was no traitor.
      So save your country!
      Or Donald Trump will destroy it like Hitler did with mine.
      Vote! Vote! Vote!
      All the best to you!

  2. Thank you Dr. Fauci. This Administration does not believe in science and should get kicked out for touting no masks etc and modeling bad behavior.

    1. kathi did you forget when Fauci said Trump listened to everything he said. And followed his recommendations. So if Trump failed your saying Fauci failed

  3. You know doctor fauci I really thought you understood that you was dealing with a man that has no feelings Donald Trump. Now he took his mask off knowing the virus survive in the air and lingers for a long time. What gives Donald Trump the right to continue to spread the deadly virus 😷😠😤

    1. did you also notice Mike Pence had burst blood vessels in his eye, conjunctivitis can be one of the symptoms of Covid-19, I wouldn’t be surprised if the WH has been rife with Covid for some time and they’re just trying to keep it quiet,

  4. Regeneron’s antibody cocktail treatment Trump is receiving, has only had a hand full of test studies. So Trump probably requested it. Convalescent Plasma usually has antibodies for one specific strain of Covid-19. So basically antibodies from different patients, who have a different mutated version of Covid-19 are collected to create an antibody cocktail. This is a very costly treatment but his $750 annual paid taxes provide him the best medical care in existence. A Marine One trip to and from the hospital. A lavish space reserved for the President at Walter Reed but probably only has one or two TVs. He watched 7~8 hrs of TV per day. So I am sure he got bored staying there. I expect him to make a fast recovery and claims he is a genetically superior alpha male, saying Covid-19 is nothing but a mild flue and having nothing to do with the team of doctors and special care he is receiving. Not even realizing $750 would only cover us for a few tablets of Bufferin in a hospital.

    1. You seem like your from the medical field.(context clues) Do you moonlight as an accountant as well?

    2. Donavan – For your information, all presidents have a team of doctors that treat them, because they have the most important job in the country. You didn’t say anything when Bill Clinton went to Walter Reed after he caught the clap from Lewinsky.

  5. Dr Fauci looks exhausted probably from having to repeat 20 times a day what is practical, safe and essential advice to help stop the spread of this deadly virus.

    If only the selfish idiots ignoring his advice would consider others and does what Fauci is advising the poor bugger could get a break from constantly repeating it. The total lack of leadership Trump has displayed bucking Fauci and the CDC virus health safe advice is palpable.

    Maybe someone should tell Trump that his supporters who are following Trump’s lead not Fauci and the CDC are dying and in turn loosing Republican’s votes might get him to follow the guide lines??

    1. The funny thing is that this virus seems to only affect leftists; i have yet to to hear any Trump supporters getting sick from any of his rallies. And if you believe Trump got sick, or in his “super spreader” event at the White House, than you’re just playing into the card perfectly lol

  6. The truth is Trump has *access to the best medication and the best possible treatment available, beyond the means and not yet approved for use by the general public. Paid for by Tax Payers but he calls it “Immunity”. Amazing Mental Olympics logic, worthy of a gold medal.* There have already been cases where people who recovered from covid-19, were reinfected a second time with a different mutated version of covid-19. The second time these people were infected, they were worse off and more ill because their bodies were already weakened and compromised from the previous infection and they almost died. So the antibodies their immune systems created, did not help them fight the second mutated version. I believe the mutated versions has gone from 3 to 9 types, so far. *Regeneron,* the company that helped in providing this antibody cocktail for covid-19 were successful in testing a similar antibody cocktail for the Ebola virus using this technique. which basically includes all the different antibodies for the different versions of Ebola anyone may have, covering all the bases. So I suspect Trump will recover quickly and say it was like a mild flue like symptom and he is a superman. Unless he has a mutated version of covid-19 where these antibodies may not be included in this current antibody cocktail. If only the 210K American people who died so far, were lucky enough to have this option.

    1. So you are advocating for Miracles and God,
      Exactly what’s the difference between you & a Bible thumper???

  7. Trump’s lies and incompetence have turned America into the world’s covid epicentre and wrecked the thriving economy he inherited. Vote him out!

  8. Every republican president has given a recession but this takes the cake 🤕

    When will Americans learn ?

  9. Trump.. the Superspreader… The new Rally cry…. “Who wants to Die for Donald”…..come to a Trump Rally, no mask required, no Social Distancing, NO BRAINS REQUIRED. Join the Basket of Deplorables., For another Darwinistic Experience. Cheers from Michael. Australia.

  10. Thanks, Dr. Fauci. Your strength in the midst of what must be overwhelming political pressure from the WH, is much appreciated by that portion of the American electorate that still has common sense and knows how important a little mask and distancing is to fully helping our economy.
