Will The US Survive Donald Trump's Weaponized Economy Asks Elizabeth Graham, Bestselling Author Of From Democracy To Democrazy

Kirkus Professional Book Reviewers said: "Graham's new book is an intriguing and informative ‘must read’ from a woman who is probably the best-informed American on the terrifying realities concerning Vladimir Putin's motivations and his control over Trump. It is a warning to all Americans." 

Bestselling author Elizabeth Graham believes Donald Trump, the Russion invasion and a weaponized world economy creates a tipping point for democracy in the US. Her book, 'From Democracy To Democrazy: A Warning To All Americans' presents startling information regarding Putin's attempt to destroy American democracy from within. The eBook version will be available at no charge September 8 and 9 at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Elizabeth-Graham/author/B0CMY189NT?.

Graham had a Top-Secret Security Clearance while a senior in high school, and immediately upon graduation began working undercover with the CIA. She later joined the SAIC's Foreign Systems Research Center (FSRC) for 12 years. Eight of these years were spent studying Russia and Russian, and she managed the largest Russian-language military, technical and intelligence data base/library in the U.S. She began to travel to the Soviet Union and then became one of the very few Americans to move to the USSR. She lived under Communism in the Soviet Union, then Russia, and Central Asia long enough to become bi-cultural - she became Russian. Her first-hand knowledge and understanding of life in a communist or dictatorship country is shared with Americans in her book and in her Substack by the same name (egraham.substack.com). In a recent Substack post she wrote in part:

Our citizens have allowed a man to lead our country who touts that he is a master of the ‘art of the deal.’ He even published a book by this name. But like all that Donald Trump touches: his businesses, his hotels, his casinos, his nonprofit(s), his marriages, and now our country – destruction and chaos follow.

His list of crimes is matched only by his list of failed businesses. His illegal and brutal attacks on women and girls have embarrassed his families, ended several marriages, led to a conviction of sexual abuse, and more importantly also probably led to his entrapment by Russian KGB/FSB.

Trump’s entrapment by the Russian KGB/FSB has been confirmed by General Oleg Kalugin who was the senior manager of the KGB operations in the United States for decades. (Craig Unger, “American Kompromat”).

Trump has filed six bankruptcies, which crippled his lavish lifestyle. Western men who abnormally lust for women, cannot control their finances, think highly of themselves - narcissistic, conceited, and arrogant, and are willing to betray their country for money are the ideal target for Russian “kompromat.” Over decades, the Russians provided Trump with funds to pay his bills and in all probability women to satisfy his lechery– but there was a catch. I can only speculate at the amount of critical, sensitive, and classified information Trump has fed to Russians to keep the lights on at Mar-a-Lago and with no regard for the safety of our country. This is treason in any language.

Trump in his narcissistic, self-focused world, does not understand that his acquiescent and subservient relationship with Putin is transparent. He has managed to close investigations and wiggle around this issue, but it has become increasingly obvious and visible.

Cassidy Hutchinson said that “Trump was terrified of being poisoned.” (The Hill, Oct. 5, 2023) Poison is a commonly used lethal weapon for KGB/FSB, known world over. Their poison factory has been in continuous operation since Stalin (1921) and the Cheka – the predecessor to the KGB. This statement of fear expressed by Trump, is also a statement of guilt.

Trump is not equipped to negotiate deals with other countries – especially China, who out-witted him concerning his outlandish tariffs imposed on trade.

“When Washington announced a “framework deal” with China in June, it marked a silent shifting of gears in the global political economy” (Foreign Affairs, Sept/Oct. 2025) – an issue that Trump previously but pathetically believed he controlled. China’s ace in the hole was their monopoly of precious metals and the magnets made from such metals. They are essential for airplane turbine engines, and for a host of other high technologies. “This was not the beginning of U.S. President Trump’s imagined epoch of ‘liberation’ under unilateral American greatness or a return to the Biden administration’s dream of managed great-power rivalry.” (Ibid)

Instead, “it was the true opening of the age of weaponized interdependence, in which the United States is discovering what it is like to have others do unto it as it has eagerly done unto others” (Ibid) – especially with Trump at the helm. ‘This new era will be shaped by weapons of economic and technological coercion – sanctions, supply chain attacks, and export measures that repurpose the many points of control in the infrastructure that underpins the interdependent global economy.” (Ibid) There is no room in this new international and interdependent economy for bullies – the sandbox is already full of other nations who play fairly. A concept that Trump cannot even fathom.

The sanctions placed on Russia by the United States and other European countries failed, and in fact it created other supply sources while gaining new business partners and allies for Russia. They now supply inexpensive gas and oil to Central Asia countries. In return these countries give Russia needed consumer goods - bought abroad but transversed through Central Asia. Imported cars intended for Russia now travel via Kyrghizstan for example. And according to Andrei Illarionov, a former economic advisor to Putin, the “world could sanction Russia, oligarchs, and 145 million Russians for decades, and this would not change the solidary decision-making process of Vladimir Putin.” (From Democracy to Democrazy)

“Making the United States capable of holding its own in the age of weaponized interdependence will require more than just halting the rapid, unscheduled disassembly of the bureaucratic structures that constrain seat-of-the pants policy making and self-dealing” (Ibid) found in the Trump administration. “Europe is hampered by structural weaknesses, but the United States difficulties largely result from our own choices” (Ibid) – our nation chose a man for the Presidency who is a convicted criminal - a fraud and a felon, a man who attacks women in department store dressing rooms, has filed six bankruptcies and was saved from a seventh by Russian intervention. He sold his soul and our country to the Russians decades ago.

These facts cannot be denied. Since Trump has closed the Department of Education, over time the level of deductive reasoning and higher levels of cogitate, rational, and analytical thinking will diminish in the United States. Perhaps within ten years, most Americans will reason on the same grade-school level as Donald Trump, or those who can afford it will send their children to European schools.

'‘After decades of slowly building the complex machinery of economic warfare, the United States – due to Trump - is ripping it apart” (Ibid) along with all other essential institutional divisions. “In Trump’s self-focused and narcissistic view, all institutional restraints on his power are illegitimate. And any policy what-so-ever is centered on Trump himself. As personalism replaces intelligent bureaucratic decision-making, short-term profit or self-gratification takes priority over long-term national interest and progress.” (Ibid) The United States of America becomes a pariah in a world rapidly and aggressively growing while we digress.

Putin chose the right individual to destroy the United States, our democracy, and our lives – but the enormously sad fact is that the Trumpers and the MAGA followers are blind to Trump’s lack of understanding of the global interdependent economy and the world dynamics of 2025. He cannot “make a deal for tariffs or any other business” since he cannot see beyond his own wallet. A failure to grasp this global reality will and has already put American security, progress, and prosperity at risk.

Graham also announced the upcoming release of a new book, 'Survival: Democracy's Struggle To Survive'. 'Survival' is unlike other political or American government books available today. It is a comparative assessment, an inspiration, and an intriguing collection of Substack messages from some of the best-known and best selling authors in the last decade covering the terrifying realities of today's political life, U.S. government, global challenges, and critical current affairs. It is an exhaustively explored and thoroughly investigated analysis of the deep, dark, clandestine linkage between Trump and Putin - a relationship which has plagued world politics and dismantled the United States government since 2015. Contributing authors include Craig Unger, Charlie Sykes, Steven Beschloss, David Adelman and Dr. Sanford Mayer. The book will be released later in 2025.

All of this information and much more is available in Graham's book, 'From Democracy To Democrazy: A Warning To All Americans', now available at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Elizabeth-Graham/author/B0CMY189NT?. The bestselling eBook version will be available at no charge September 8 and 9, 2025 at Amazon. More information is available at her website at https://democrazy2020.org/.

About Elizabeth Graham:

Elizabeth Graham lives in a quiet rural city in northern Arizona. She had 4 children and has 3 grandchildren. Her oldest daughter died July 16, 2016 - three months before the U.S. 2016 election and while living/working in Japan. The Tokyo Police ruled her death a homicide by an unknown substance – possibly a poison - which is the signature lethal method used by Russians. There is more about her death in From Democracy to Democrazy.

Elizabeth was indoctrinated at a young age by her father who was a senior manager working undercover with the CIA. Her college days were in Los Angeles with the desire to become a high school teacher. However, she was destined to study Russia, Russian language, and live a life of Top-Secret clearances and undercover work. This led to senior nonprofit management positions and consulting jobs in strategic places like Moscow and St. Petersburg in Russia, all the former Soviet - Central Asian countries, and Ukraine, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and many other locations. In this process of living and working abroad, she became bi-cultural - American to Russian and back – only to find that her birth country was in the process of losing its democracy and becoming a dictatorship.

Donald Trump Is A Modern Day Judas Iscariot – Who Was A Traitor, Says Elizabeth Graham, Author Of Bestselling Ebook, From Democracy To Democrazy

Kirkus Professional Book Reviewers said: "Graham's new book is an intriguing and informative ‘must read’ from a woman who is probably the best-informed American on the terrifying realities concerning Vladimir Putin's motivations and his control over Trump. It is a warning to all Americans." 

Elizabeth Graham believes Donald Trump is a modern-day Judas Iscariot. who was a traitor. She says we need only look at the facts. The eBook version will be available at no charge August 5, 2025 at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Elizabeth-Graham/author/B0CMY189NT?.

Graham had a Top-Secret Security Clearance while a senior in high school, and immediately upon graduation began working undercover with the CIA. She later joined the SAIC's Foreign Systems Research Center (FSRC) for 12 years. Eight of these years were spent studying Russia and Russian, and she managed the largest Russian-language military, technical and intelligence data base/library in the U.S. She began to travel to the Soviet Union and then became one of the very few Americans to move to the USSR. She lived under Communism in the Soviet Union, then Russia, and Central Asia long enough to become bi-cultural - she became Russian. Her first-hand knowledge and understanding of life in a communist or dictatorship country is shared with Americans in her book and in her Substack by the same name (egraham.substack.com). In a recent Substack post she wrote in part:

The United States is at the crossroads for many reasons, but from where I sit and the knowledge gained from twenty years living and working in Russia - we are in a tragic stage of devaluation.

Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill – Trumponomics 2.0 - will erode the very foundations of America’s prosperity. This domestic policy bill will impact the lives of every single American – the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. It needs to be discussed by every single American citizen and those around the world who are witnessing the fleecing of America’s democracy.

CNN Business said that “the top 20% of American earners would increase income by nearly $13,000 per year, which amounts to an average 3% increase for those households. However, for the top 0.1% of American earners, the average annual income gain would amount to more than $290,000.” (Ibid) CNN also stated that “many people at the lowest end of the income ladder would be worse off because the package would enact historic cuts to the nation’s safety net programs, particularly Medicaid and food stamps.” (Ibid) “All told, the bill could result in more than 10 million more Americans being uninsured by 2034” (Ibid) There will be federal cuts to rural hospitals, which will impact the lives of those living outside of major cities – these are the farmers that feed America. As more farmers die due to untreatable illnesses or leave farming– food becomes increasingly sparse, in short supply, and expensive.

“The real-life consequences of these nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts – the largest ever proposed by Congress – will result in irreparable harm to our health care system,” (Ibid) . . . hurting millions upon millions of Americans no matter where you live.

In the end, sources such as The Economist, CNN newscasts, MSNBC, and the NYT all report that this bill will increase U.S. debit by $3.4 to $4 trillion over the next decade – leaving our children and grandchildren to pay the bill but not providing any means for such repayment - just another Trump bankruptcy approach to economics. He has already filed six bankruptcies.

Our country is in a transitional period and is led by a megalomaniac who is destroying every vestige of American democracy. The reason for this devastation and dismantling of our country, our society, and our way of life was openly announced to the world in 1957 when the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev used the phrase “We will bury you” on multiple occasions. Time magazine, one of the leading publications in the 1950’s and still publishing today, printed a cover that shows Khrushchev’s anger toward the U.S. His entire sentence said, “Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!”

It appears that this archival prognostication may be correct and delivered by a man - Donald Trump - who says he is an American and a Republican. He is neither. He is more like a traitor or an apostate - ignoring laws and political principles.

At the time of the Khrushchev speech in 1957, Vladimir Putin was a young boy. He was inspired and motivated by Khrushchev’s tirade that lumped the U.S., Britain, France, and Israel all as bandits - enemies of the Soviet Union. If you follow Putin’s history, he was dedicated to the KGB as a youth, spent 15 years in Germany as a Russian spy, and was devastated when the Berlin Wall fell. He is the person who encouraged thousands upon thousands of former KGB men and women to rejoin the FSB (in 1994) and to restore Russia’s days of glory after Yeltsin’s embarrassing bought with alcohol. While he stood in the background, he was the protagonist – main character – who reconstructed Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union and Yeltsin.

By 1994, Putin headed the newly formed FSB and controlled all Russian banks and financing. Russia gleefully accepted millions of dollars from western sources in the 1990’s – designated to build a Russian democracy – and instead and unbeknown to those international donors, large portions of this money was diverted to rebuild Russia’s cycle of Cheka, KGB, FSB, SVR, and GRU – all variations of intelligence agencies created to oppose and destroy Russia’s enemies – including their number one adversary and nemesis - the United States.

The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. I was already living in Moscow. and by 1993 I was the westerner who informed British Secret Intelligence Service (M16) that many Soviet/Russian nuclear weapons were headed south to the Mid-East. Former Soviet employees were selling off anything of value at junkyard prices. Monies pillaged from the USSR ruins were stashed abroad in hidden bank accounts - many in New York and some in Chicago. Together with money stolen from western governments, and millions of dollars laundered through Trump real estate deals (since the 1980s) - was all earmarked to be used later by Putin to rebuild Russia’s secret service, military, and fulfill his vendetta against the United States. While Americans - and others around the world - slept peacefully thinking the Cold War era was over, Putin ‘s plan – a reincarnation of Khrushchev’s conviction – was taking shape.

Dismantling The FBI: Bestselling Ebook, From Democracy To Democrazy By Elizabeth Graham, Available At No Charge June 3, 2025

Kirkus Professional Book Reviewers said: "Graham's new book is an intriguing and informative ‘must read’ from a woman who is probably the best-informed American on the terrifying realities concerning Vladimir Putin's motivations and his control over Trump. It is a warning to all Americans."

The bestselling ebook, 'From Democracy to Democrazy', by Elizabeth Graham will be available at no charge on June 3, 2025, at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Elizabeth-Graham/author/B0CMY189NT?.

Elizabeth Graham had a Top-Secret Security Clearance while a senior in high school, and immediately upon graduation began working undercover with the CIA. She later joined the SAIC's Foreign Systems Research Center (FSRC) for 12 years. Eight of these years were spent studying Russia and Russian, and she managed the largest Russian-language military, technical and intelligence data base/library in the U.S. She began to travel to the Soviet Union and then became one of the very few Americans to move to the USSR. She lived under Communism in the Soviet Union, then Russia, and Central Asia long enough to become bi-cultural - she became Russian. Her first-hand knowledge and understanding of life in a communist or dictatorship country is shared with Americans in her book and in her Substack by the same name (egraham.substack.com).

MSB has reported that Donald Trump is dismantling the FBI. In a recent article, she wrote in part: “MSNBC reported that the FBI has folded the public corruption unit that investigated Donald Trump. This same division worked with Jack Smith on his “Russian interference report.” As a result, Peter Strzok, the former FBI Chief of counterespionage was fired.”

On a Substack message sent by Willy Perez-Feria on 5/16/2025, “Politically motivated, the dismantling of the FBI will undermine the bureau’s integrity and influence. Attorney General (AG) Pam Bondi, who cited a desire to free resources for ‘more pressing priorities’ – a lame excuse – disbanded the FITF (Foreign Influence Task Force) in early 2025.

As a comparison, when Putin took office as the President of Russia in 2000 - among his first tasks was to dismantle their KGB and give a newly formed government branch called the FSB many of the same tasks previously performed by their KGB. Please note, that before Putin became President, he created the FSB (Federal Security Service) and led this organization until his presidency in 2000. It was created in 1994 and is one of the successor agencies of the Soviet-era KGB. Its primary function is internal security and counterintelligence, but it also oversees all Banks.

The FBI is (or was) the lead agency in the U.S. for investigating and exposing intelligence activities, including espionage. They also investigate counterterrorism, counterintelligence, cyber-attacks, public corruption, civil rights, and transnational organized crime. (www.fbi.gov) LAWFARE, printed an article on January 13, 2019, written by Jack Goldsmith titled: “On What Grounds Can the FBI Investigate the President as a Counterintelligence Threat?” This article begins by saying “The New York Times reported on January 11, 2017, that the FBI ‘began investigating whether President Trump had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests’ soon after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in May 2017. In other words, the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation on the president.” The Times paraphrases former FBI General Counsel James Baker’s testimony as follows: “If the president had fired Mr. Comey to stop the Russia investigation, the action would have been a national security issue because it naturally would have hurt the bureau’s effort to learn how Moscow interfered in the 2016 election and whether any Americans were involved.” (Ibid)

As David Kris noted, (Former Assistant Attorney General for National Security of the United States) “we have long understood that this counterintelligence investigation would sweep up Trump’s relationship with Russia and might include the question whether Trump might be compromised by the Russians. But the Times suggests that the FBI—at least after Comey was fired—took this investigation in a different direction, based on the premise that the president was a threat to the national security interests of the United States.” (Ibid)

This is the same timeframe when Mr. Trump told the American public that “I have nothing to do with Russia. You know the closest I came to Russia, I bought a house several years ago in Palm Beach, Florida for $40 Million and sold it to a Russian for $100 Million. (USA Today, Jan. 11, 2017, written by Jessica Durando) He also said “Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I have nothing to do with Russia – no deals, no loans, no nothing!” (Ibid) All flat out lies.

Trump’s demeanor in the Oval Office when he welcomed Sergey Lazarov and the Russian Ambassador Kislyak was very different than other dignitaries. He behaved like greeting old chums.

In 2025, we know this (the Trump-Russia association) is not a fabrication or a deliberate lie. In fact, there is proof that Trump has been associated with Russians in the U.S. since the mid to late 1970’s. Craig Unger’s newest Substack opens with, “There are no Trump tariffs’ on Moscow’s biggest export – the mobsters and oligarchs who helped put him in power.”

Unger goes on to say, “On May 5th, Jason Leopold reported that the Trump administration was shutting down the ‘Department of Justice unit that has long been at the center of dismantling transnational organized crime networks, drug cartels, and human trafficking rings. No reason was provided for removing the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces. . . but getting rid of it must have delighted President Trump. This eradicated a potential threat to the Russian mafia, money launderers, and international criminal cartels, who supported Trump and have funded Republicans politicians for years.” (Unger Substack, Ibid)

In 1996, Trump attended the grand opening of the Chuck Norris Enterprise operation in Moscow. My daughter was also there. Called the Beverly Hills, this nightclub and casino were known in Russia for its naked girls, under-age prostitution, famous faces, and massive corruption. Trump was also a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxell, both convicted sex offenders and found guilty of child sex trafficking and other offenses. (Wikipedia)

In 2008, “Donald Trump Jr. told investors in Moscow that the Trump Organization had trademarked the Donald Trump name in Russia and planned to build housing and hotels in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Sochi, and to sell licenses to other developers” according to Russian daily Kommersant (USA Today, 02/15/2017). This is another lie. In both Vanity Fair ((May 8, 2017) and Business Insider (Feb. 21, 2018) magazines, Trump’s elder sons commented that the Trump Organization had received $100 million from Russian banks and that Trump no longer needs to borrow from U.S. banks - they now get their money from Russia. U.S. banks refused to loan money to Trump who had six bankruptcies. Russian banks are managed and controlled by the FSB (since 1994) and Vladimir Putin and money from these banks to foreigners are for espionage purposes, to launder black cash, or for bribery.

Her first-hand knowledge and understanding of life in a communist or dictatorship country is shared with Americans in her book and in her Substack by the same name (egraham.substack.com). She believes the U.S. is headed for a cataclysm – a disaster. In a recent article, she wrote in part:

Time Magazine wrote ‘Morality and empathy are writ deep in our genes. Alas, so are savagery and bloodlust. Science is now learning what makes us both noble and terrible – and perhaps what can make us better.’ (Time, Ibid) I chose this topic to write about because the United States was founded by men who considered themselves moral when they wrote the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence focused on conforming to a standard of what is right and good. This virtuous beginning of the United States has now sunk to unscrupulous, dishonorable, and unconscionable. We have come a long way in the wrong direction.

To quote this Time Magazine article, written almost 20 years ago, ‘We are a species that is capable of almost dumbfounding kindness. We nurse one another, romance one another, weep for one another. Ever since science taught us how, we willingly tear the very organs from our bodies and give them to one another. And at the same time, we slaughter one another. The past 15 years of human history are the temporal equivalent of those subatomic particles that are created in accelerators and vanish in a trillionth of a second, but in that fleeting instant, we’ve visited untold horrors on ourselves – in Mogadishu, Rwanda, Chechnya, Darfur, Beslan, Baghdad, Pakistan, London, Madrid, Lebanon, Israel, Bosnia, New York City, Russia, Abu Ghraib, Oklahoma City, an Amish schoolhouse in Pennsylvania - all of the crimes committed by the highest, wisest, most principled species the planet has produced.

That we’re also the lowest, cruelest, most blood-drenched species is our shame. . . and the harder it becomes to preserve the vanity that we are unique among Earth’s creatures. We told ourselves that we are the only creatures on Earth with language, until gorillas and chimps mastered sign language. We’re the only one that uses tools then – but that’s if you don’t count otters smashing mollusks with rocks or apes stripping leaves from twigs and using them to fish for termites.

What does, or ought to, separate us then is our highly developed sense of morality, a primal understanding of good and bad, or right and wrong, or what it means to suffer not only our own pain – something anything with a rudimentary nervous system can do – but also the pain of others.” (Ibid) THAT QUALITY IS THE DISTILLED ESSENCE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN.

Yet our country has selected a man to lead, who lacks this basic quality of what it means to be human. He has no empathy for the thousands of people who his DOGE group have left unemployed. He has called our military men and women who died in combat “suckers and losers.” He is now considering changes to social security – money earned and saved by more than 77 million U.S. workers to provide financial support in their old age. He has angrily berated the President of Ukraine in the Oval Office – where no U.S. President before him has behaved so poorly. He has been accused of or convicted of many crimes: falsifying business records, mishandling of national security documents, and attempting to overturn the 2020 U.S. presidential election – a Constitutional defined treasonous act.

Author Elizabeth Graham has announced that her best selling e-book, 'From Democracy to Democrazy' will be available at no charge February 14, 2025 at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Elizabeth-Graham/author/B0CMY189NT?.

Elizabeth Graham had a Top-Secret Security Clearance while a senior in high school, and immediately upon graduation began working undercover with the CIA. She later joined the SAIC's Foreign Systems Research Center (FSRC) for 12 years. Eight of these years were spent studying Russia and Russian, and she managed the largest Russian-language military, technical and intelligence library in the U.S. She began to travel to the Soviet Union and then became one of the very few Americans to move to the USSR. She lived under Communism in the Soviet Union, then Russia, and Central Asia long enough to become bi-cultural - she became Russian. Her first-hand knowledge and understanding of life in a communist or dictatorship country is shared with Americans in her book and in her Substack by the same name (egraham.substack.com).  She believes the U.S. is headed for a cataclysm – a disaster. In a recent article, she wrote in part:
 
From the Supreme Court to the daily freedoms of people on the streets of America, please know that OUR DEMOCRACY IS ALREADY GONE and so is any realm of logic, laws, and order. When President Biden left the White House, so did any semblance or outward appearance of the United States of America - a democratic nation.

Nancy Pelosi, along with other Democratic leaders, pushed and marginalized President Biden to step down and hand the 2024 political race to Harris - an intelligent, experienced, attractive woman with a Jewish husband. This country was not ready for that combination and wanted a “good ole boy” in the White House. His criminality was ignored. His desire to be a dictator was ignored. His relationship with Vladimir Putin was unknown and disregarded.

Steven Beschloss wrote today on Substack (February 3, 2025) “Donald Trump stood in the East Room of our White House Wednesday describing his demand that Colombia take back its refugees from the United States. “You’re going to take them. You’re going to like it, too,” he said. Supporters in the room laughed and clapped. This is not just the aggressive attitude of a bully. This is the disgusting thinking of an abuser, a sadist or even a rapist. His words were bad enough, but the amusement he elicited illustrates the reality that this sociopath thinks he can say or do whatever he wants without consequence. You can see why: With a Supreme Court that handed him near-total immunity, his delusion of a massive victory providing him a broad mandate, and a growing gallery of henchman that will satisfy his reckless hunger for retribution and destruction, he’s free.”  And since his previous crimes are now a pile of burned up ashes, he will never be held responsible for rape, for his 34 convicted felonies, or for his treasonous acts.

Today, USAID was closed. It’s 10,235 employees (as of 2016, www.state.gov/USAID)) are out of work, and the $40 billion-dollar annual budget is now more money for Trump’s administration to “play out his darkest fantasies.” USAID (The United States Agency for International Development) is the only branch of government channeling assistance to Ukraine, to Gaza, and to other struggling and starving people around the world. Thousands upon thousands of USAID employees are out of work, as well as the nationals that were employed – many stranded in other countries.

Today, tariffs are in effect against goods from China who has also reciprocated.  Prices will soar for a long list of consumer goods - including the price of gas. In a few short weeks, Trump has alienated both our border neighbors and our largest trading partner.

NATO is most likely next on his hit list. In 2020, Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act, which sets funding for the U.S. military. “Section 1250A specifics that the president cannot unilaterally withdraw America from NATO without an act of Congress, or unless two-thirds of the Senate concur.” (Business Insider, Jan. 18, 2025) “The Constitution specifies that the president has the power to negotiate treaties, it doesn’t say whether he has the power to break them.” (Ibid) There I go again, attempting to “normalize Donald Trump".” I am sure that the Constitution or the recently ratified Section 1250A of the Defense Authorization Act will NOT make one bit of difference to Donald Trump. NATO was formed in 1949 to provide collective security against the Soviet Union – now Russia which is the largest country in the world.  Without NATO, Russia’s superior and aggressive military will be free to conquer other nations.   Ukraine will fall, and other European countries may as well.  Putin doesn’t have to do a thing – Trump will do this task for him.

About Elizabeth Graham:

Elizabeth Graham lives in a quiet rural city in northern Arizona. She had 4 children and has 3 grandchildren. Her oldest daughter died July 16, 2016 - three months before the U.S. 2016 election and while living/working in Japan. The Tokyo Police ruled her death a homicide by an unknown substance – possibly a poison - which is the signature lethal method used by Russians. There is more about her death in From Democracy to Democrazy.

Elizabeth was indoctrinated at a young age by her father who was a senior manager working undercover with the CIA. Her college days were in Los Angeles with the desire to become a high school teacher. However, she was destined to study Russia, Russian language, and live a life of Top-Secret clearances and undercover work. This led to senior nonprofit management positions and consulting jobs in strategic places like Moscow and St. Petersburg in Russia, all the former Soviet countries (15 countries including the Baltics, Central Asia, and Ukraine), Pakistan, Afghanistan, and many other locations. In this process of living and working abroad, she became bi-cultural - American to Russian and back – only to find that her birth country was in the process of losing its democracy and becoming a dictatorship.

Trump Mimics Putin Says Bestselling Author Elizabeth Graham in New Book, From Democracy To Democrazy, Available At No Charge January 20 Through January 21, 2025 at Amazon

 

Kirkus Professional Book Reviewers said: "Graham's new book is an intriguing and informative "must read" from a woman who is probably the best-informed American on the terrifying realities concerning Vladimir Putin's motivations and his control over Trump. It is a warning to all Americans."  

Author Elizabeth Graham has announced that her bestselling ebook, 'From Democracy to Democrazy' will be available at no charge January 20 through January 21, 2025 at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Elizabeth-Graham/author/B0CMY189NT?.

Eight of these years were spent studying Russia and Russian, and she managed the largest Russian-language military, technical and intelligence library in the U.S. She began to travel to the Soviet Union and then became one of the very few Americans to move to the USSR.

Her first-hand knowledge and understanding of life in a communist or dictatorship country is shared with Americans in her book and in her substack by the same name. She believes the US is headed for disaster. In a recent article, she wrote in part:

In a few short weeks, Trump will become the 47th President of the United States - and perhaps the last. This is NOT something to celebrate, but an inauguration date that may go down in history as the end of U.S. democracy. Trump was telling the truth when he said: “If I am elected, there won’t be future elections, and you won’t have to vote again.” (The Hill, July 29, 2024)

In Russia, the president is elected directly through a popular vote to a six-year term. The process is basically the same as in the U.S. - except under Putin, it is totally manipulated. Putin began his presidency in 2000 and has been in office for almost 25 years. The Russian DUMA (their House of Representatives) has voted to leave Putin in power until 2034.  They vote out of fear, just like the U.S. Congress could not impeach Trump (twice).  Members of our Congress and their families were threatened.

Donald Trump is following Putin’s instructions or following Putin’s playbook to a tee. If Trump says there will be no more elections once he is re-elected - then BELIEVE HIM. This will be a jaw-dropping revelation for those who voted for this man, as well as an immeasurable giant step toward a dictatorship. Roughly half the population in the United States voted for Donald Trump. In doing so, they have unleashed a sociopath leadership that will imitate the government currently found in Russia under Putin - a ruthless dictatorship based on lies and propaganda that lead to brainwashing – “coercive persuasion and a systematic process aimed at altering an individual’s beliefs, attitudes and behavior.” (www.science.howstuffworks.com)

In the very near future, those who disagree with Trump may be arrested. Under Trump, those who walked thousands of miles to escape persecution and threats to live in the “land of free” may be seized and thrown into prisons, detention camps, and/or deported. Laws and justice are almost obsolete, and the truth is now truant and no longer relative.  Trump is mimicking Putin by threatening invasion of other sovereign nations. If he attacks these countries without provocation, the International Criminal Court may issue an arrest warrant to Trump for war crimes – just like the current warrant on Vladimir Putin for his unjustified invasion of Ukraine.

We are becoming a living/breathing version of 1984 authored by George Orwell.  The back BOOK cover says “Written more than 70 years ago, 1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future.  And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever…” In this futuristic book it says, “there are three slogans of the Party: war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength.” If this sounds like Donald Trump’s mumbo-jumbo, then you are correct. (Ibid) And yes, the other half of the American population are tired of this doltish but lethal game. We see right through Trump’s lies and it would be laughable if not so deadly serious.

In the U.S., Trump uses the slogan "Make America Great Again". It is the exact same type of rhetorical and convincing message found in Russia, in Germany under Hitler, and now in the U.S.  Trump has seduced a large portion of the American public, just like other dictators “whose reign is based on a disinformation and propaganda ecosystem which elevates malicious content and creates an illusion of credibility.” (U.S. Department of State, “Pillars of Disinformation").

The truth about the January 6th insurrection is one such example. According to the NYT on January 5th, 2025, an article written by Dan Barry and Alan Feuer, says: “The Jan. 6 tale that Mr. Trump tells is its own kind of replacement theory, one that covers over the marble-hard facts the (same) way a blue carpet will cover those tainted Capitol steps on Inauguration Day.” The FACTS go on to tell us that “tens of thousands of hours of video footage and thousands of seized cellphones all amount to the truth. American television replayed this violence over and over for six months – this live coverage is the truth.  The attack on the Capitol was the largest digital crime scene in history, the total estimated cost of its aftermath exceeding $2.7 billion.” (Ibid) This Capitol repair bill should be sent directly to Donald Trump.

The Justice Department has stated that “over half of the 1,600 defendants have pleaded guilty. Sentences have ranged from a few days in jail to 22 years in prison for seditious conspiracy.” (Ibid) They all point the finger at Trump and the speech he gave after falsely claiming that the election was stolen, and he “reminded them to fight like hell.” (Ibid) Shortly afterward, Trump and his attorneys remarked “Trump had nothing to do with the insurrection.”  (YouTube-PBS NewsHours, September 10, 2024).

Within six months of the insurrection, which according to Constitutional Law was a treasonous act, Trump changed his description from “calamitous” to a “largely peaceful day.” He said: “the mob had been ‘ushered in’ by the police and those who had rallied with him were a ‘loving crowd’.”  (The Washington Post, Jul 22, 2021) This is madness.   As Trump’s mockery of American justice was reaching large proportions, his rhetoric turned into adulation and adoration of those who had attacked the Capitol. Instead of “marauders, vandals, and aggressors, they were now hostages, martyrs, patriots, and political prisoners.” (Ibid).

Rooted in Lenin-Marxist thought, the use of disinformation, propaganda, and brainwashing was first seen in the Russian 1917 Revolution. It was a rhetorical vehicle for spreading false ideas and thoughts. The Chinese began to use propaganda as demonstrated in the 1930 Mao Zedong letter showing his influence on the Chinese people. Then in the 1930s, Hitler (Germany) converted an entire peaceful nation into mass murderers with his convincing oratory.  They slaughtered over six million humans.

Project 2025 in the U.S., The Foundations of Geopolitics in Russia, and the book called Mein Kampf written by Hitler in Germany 100 years ago are all interchangeable - they impose the will of one man over the will of the people.

In June 2022, TIME 100 published a special edition about the “most influential” persons of the year. Alexei Navalny was asked to write a description of Vladimir Putin. His narrative begins with: “Perhaps Vladimir Putin’s true mission is to teach lessons. To everyone – from world leaders to pundits to ordinary people. He has been especially good at this in 2022. He reminded us once again that a path that begins with ‘just a little election rigging’ always ends with a dictatorship.”  When I read this statement by Alexei Navalny referring to Putin, all I could think about was President Trump’s taped phone call to Brad Raffensperger, the Secretary of State for Georgia pressuring him to “just find about 11,780 votes” to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

“Donald Trump has been crying “wolf” by declaring America’s legal system is a “witch-hunt” against him. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would realize the hypocrisy of Trump’s current ploy. He never once declared ‘witch hunt’ in the 60 lawsuits he filed and LOST while contesting the 2020 election.” (NBC Newsline, Steve Corbin, January 3,2024) This still did not prevent Trump from referring to his big lie that “the 2020 election was stolen.” And every time he repeats this lie, someone out there in the American voting public will believe him.  

IT'S CALLED BRAINWASHING.

Russia Intends To "Bury" The United States By Working From Within Says Elizabeth Graham, Bestselling Author Of From Democracy To Democrazy

The American people were deceived into believing the Cold War ended in the early 1990’s. It did not.

Elizabeth Graham had a Top-Secret Security Clearance while a senior in high school, and immediately upon graduation began working undercover with the CIA.  She later joined the SAIC's Foreign Systems Research Center (FSRC) for 12 years.  Eight of these years were spent studying Russia and Russian, and she managed the largest Russian-language military, technical and intelligence library in the U.S. She began to travel to the Soviet Union and then became one of the very few Americans to move to the USSR. She lived under Communism in the Soviet Union, then Russia, and Central Asia long enough to become bi-cultural - she became Russian. Her first-hand knowledge and understanding of life in a communist or dictatorship country – as compared to a democracy - is shared with Americans in her book and it should serve as a warning to all Americans.
 
In a recent article, bestselling author Elizabeth Graham stated the following:
 
From 1953 to 1964, Nikita Khrushchev was the leader of the Soviet Union and the First Secretary of the Communist Party. In his famous November 17, 1956, speech, he threatened the United States by saying “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within.” This was 68 years ago.  Let’s be very clear, he was referring to the type of destruction, hatred, racism, lies, crime, and intimation/bullying seen daily executed by Donald Trump.
 
“History shows that disinformation and propaganda are terrifyingly potent tools in suppressing nations, creating mob (brainwashing) beliefs by deadening free thought and obliterating resistance. Look to Hitler’s Third Reich and the former Soviet Union, for examples. . . These are things our Cold War enemies hope to plan and then exploit.” (The Cold War & disinformation) The American people were deceived into believing the Cold War ended in the early 1990’s. IT DID NOT.
 
Today - some thirty years after Americans were told the Cold War era ceased and “we won,” Vladimir Putin adheres to Khrushchev’s philosophies.  And in turn, Khrushchev’s ideas, propaganda, government by fear, smear campaigns of foreign leaders, and distain for the United States came directly from Vladimir Lenin who lived from 1870 to 1924 and was the Founder of the Russian Communist Party. Lenin said: “democracy is for an insignificant minority and democracy is for the rich - that is the democracy of a capitalist society.” (www.marxists.org)
 
The point is that the Cold War era did not end in the 1990’s and the Russian denigration, condescension, and disrespect for the American way of life has only amplified over the years. Vladimir Putin was a child in the 1950’s (born in 1952) whose dream was to become a member of the KGB and destroy Russia’s enemy – the United States and NATO.
 
This is reality today in the United States. What we are combatting is not just those citizens who do not see the bigger picture or those who are illiterate or under-educated, but a foreign power who is bent on destroying our country and our way of life. Trump will be sitting in the Oval Office soon, but it may be Putin in command.
 
Donald Trump first traveled to Russia in 1987 and made many trips afterward. Due to his narcissism, his conceitedness, and his ego led him to (1) work with Russians, (2) be trapped by the KGB/FSB, and (3) accept large loans from Russian banks (which are all controlled by the FSB/Putin). Trump showed the entire world that he was hooked by Russians when after a face-to-face talk with Putin in Helsinki, Trump contradicted U.S. intelligence agencies and said there was no reason to believe that the Russians interfered in the 2016 election. Several years afterward, the Russians themselves admitted to U.S. election interference in 2016.
 
The bottom line is that Trump will say and do just about anything to save himself, escape criminal convictions, prevent KGB exposure of his Russian entrapment, and continue his moneygrubbing process of spending American taxpayer funds on his own materialistic lifestyle.  He has sold his soul and our country to the Russians, and most of our country are unaware, uninformed, or in disbelief. Many of this generation of Americans do not even know the significance and magnitude of the Cold War or the comparison of Project 2025 to Mein Kampf (Hitler/Germany) or The Foundations of Geopolitics (Dubin and Putin/Russia).
 
As of today, the United States has the fastest growing economy in the whole world. However, more than half our country thinks our economy is in trouble and Trump will “fix it.” In 2016, he survived by taking credit for the good economy created by Obama, and he will again attribute the excellent economy created by Biden to himself in 2025.
 
In the third quarter of 2020, Trump’s last year in office, our economy dropped 32.9% - the largest economic fall in our country’s history. This was partially due to COVID but more directly due to Trump’s spending. NPR published a report titled “3 Months of Hell: Economy Drops 32.9% In Worst GDP Report Ever.” This is the same man who has filed six business bankruptcies, has committed massive business fraud (business, bank, and tax records were evidence), is convicted of 34 felony counts, and was adjudicated and found guilty of sexual abuse and labeled a sexual predator. He must report his address to the local police four times a year, and people in Washington, D.C. may receive a message that a sexual predator lives near them. The address will be 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue – unless Trump will be exonerated for all his many crimes.
 
This is the example our nation has set for the next generation of Americans.

In their review of the book, Kirkus Professional Book Reviews said, "Graham's new book is an intriguing and informative 'must read' from a woman who is probably the best-informed American on the terrifying realities concerning Vladimir Putin's motivations and his control over Trump. It is intended as a warning to all Americans."

Graham's new book is an intriguing and informative "must read" from a woman who is probably the best-informed American on the terrifying realities concerning Vladimir Putin's motivations and his control over Trump. It is a warning to all Americans.

Elizabeth Graham had a Top Secret Security Clearance while a senior in high school, and immediately upon graduation began working undercover with the CIA.  She later joined the SAIC's Foreign Systems Research Center (FSRC) for 12 years.  Eight of these years were spent studying Russia and Russian, and managed the largest Russian-language military, technical and intelligence library in the U.S. She began to travel to the Soviet Union and then became one of the very few Americans to move to the USSR. She lived under Communism in the Soviet Union, then Russia, and Central Asia long enough to become bi-cultural - she became Russian. Her first-hand knowledge and understanding of life in a communist or dictatorship country is shared with Americans in her book. In a recent article, she said in part:

On November 9, 2016, just a few minutes after Donald Trump was elected president of the United States, a man named Vyacheslav Nikonov approached a microphone in the Russian State Duma (their equivalent of the U.S. House of Representatives) and made a very unusual statement. He congratulated the Russian Duma for Trump's win of the U.S. presidency. The Russians were celebrating one of the greatest intelligence and clandestine operations in modern history. A Russian asset was now the President of the United States.” (Unger, American Kompromat)

At the same time that our planet is hitting record-high destructive and deathly temperatures worldwide - Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and perhaps others are preparing for nuclear war - the primary target is the United States. Each of these countries has their own reason for wishing to attack our country, but behind this group is one person provoking and instigating such destruction and/or war. This person is Vladimir Putin.

Putin's childhood was filled with the glory and expansive magnitude of the Soviet Union, and his dream was to join the KGB in order to protect his country against their number one enemy - which was perceived to be the United States. He obtained his law degree, and perfected his German language skills. In 2005, Putin stated: "First and foremost it is worth acknowledging that the demise of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the last century." (NBC News, April 2005)

In 1997, a book was published in Russia called ‘The Foundations of Geopolitics’. This book outlines Putin's presidential intentions and his hostile goals toward the West and especially the United States - who he blames for this "catastrophe." His goals include to return the world to the pre-NATO period, to destroy U.S. democracy from within, to return Russia to it’s glory days of the expanded Soviet Union, and so on.

Much like Mein Kampf (Hitler/Germany) and now the book called ‘Project 2025 (USA)’, it is an aggressive description of how a society is susceptible to forms of massive mind manipulation (brainwashing) and over time subjugated to ONE MAN. In Germany, this "one man" was Hitler; in Russia it is Putin; and in the U.S. it is Trump.

The "only" difference in the United States is that Donald Trump is not the leader - but instead most likely a Russian asset controlled by Russian entrapment and bribery methodologies and led by Putin. The Soviet operational model was to place a person loyal to Russia as the head of each satellite country. They did this via bribery, ransom, threats, offers and loans of money, and KGB-employed “professional” women.

In the 1990's when Trump's businesses were financially failing, the Russians bailed him out. His tax records show multi-million dollar real estate transactions via Russians. His sons have bragged (www.vanityfair.com, www.businessinsider.com) about receiving $100 million from Russian banks - which are all controlled by Russian Intelligence (KGB/FSB). Most of all, the U.S. judicial system has found Trump guilty of being a sexual predator (including rape and sexual abuse). In Russian hotel rooms assigned to foreigners, there are cameras and listening devices. The chances of Trump being photographed in compromising positions with women are very high and was probably the bribery tool used by Putin at the Helsinki Summit in 2018.

If Trump is elected, Americans will see a series of potential destructive events: NATO may dissolve resulting in the loss of century-old European allies as they move to protect themselves, Ukraine will succumb to Russia and loose it sovereign freedoms, China may attack Taiwan knowing the U.S. will not come to the aid of this island nation, and the fate of many former Soviet satellites and many NATO nations may again fall into Russia’s control. If Trump follow’s Putin leadership, U.S. citizens may lose our right to vote, banking and financial institutions will be first to change ownership under the Trump government, and the DOJ will be ordered to prosecute those opposed to Trump resulting in the U.S. prison system swelling with political prisoners. Those who actually committed crimes: Manafort, Stone, Weisselberg, Navarro, and others will now be running the government.

From 'Democracy to Democrazy' has received rave reviews and five-stars from readers and reviewers. Kirkus Reviews wrote: "The book's real value lies in Graham's personal story, not only as an expert on Russian society, but as a White grandmother and former Republican who finally came to terms with America's history of discrimination. Graham's astute commentary is also accompanied by an entertaining and informative assortment of political cartoons, graphs, and charts. A well-researched expert guide to authoritarian regimes and the fragility of democracy in America."

An Amazon reviewer stated, "This book is a must-read for Americans who want to know true facts about what's happening to our country. It takes courage to write about the truth and not fall into that 'fake news' trap. This book will give you a stunning perspective - comparing the similarities of how our government operated with Trump at the helm to how Russian government (the DUMA) operates in Moscow. This comparison will shock you. . . . She also connects all the dots of the Trump administration and his partnership with Putin. Thank you, Elizabeth."

Another reviewer said, "Ms. Graham brings a unique perspective on Putin, as well as Trump's many relationships with Russians. She speaks Russian and some Ukrainian and worked under-cover with a top-secret clearance. She lived in Russia for nearly 20 years. She also explains how 'mass manipulation' began in totalitarian countries, and about how so many Americans were 'brainwashed' due to Trump's repetitive rhetoric - a proven form of brainwashing. Her explanations of how Russia operates to entrap foreigners - including Trump - and then threatens their loved ones is an eye-opener for most naive Americans."

The Trump-Russia Connection Is A Terrifying Reality Says Elizabeth Graham, Author Of Bestselling Ebook, 'From Democracy To Democrazy'

 

Graham's new book is an intriguing and informative "must read" from a woman who is probably the best-informed American on the terrifying realities concerning Vladimir Putin's motivations and his control over Trump. It is a warning to all Americans.

A whirlwind of legal woes orbit around Donald Trump. While the American media spotlight, ever enthralled by the sensationalism of the moment, remains fixated on Trump's legal issues, a crucial and overlooked danger continues to unfold. As the never-ending drama surrounding Trump's legal battles captures headlines, the influence of Putin's strategies quietly attempts to reshape the trajectory of American politics. The shadow cast by Putin over the landscape of American democracy, and his influence over Trump, grows larger and darker by the moment.

Elizabeth Graham's new book, 'From Democracy to Democrazy', is an intriguing and informative "must read" from a woman who is probably the best-informed American on the terrifying realities concerning Vladimir Putin's motivations and his control over Trump.

In her book, Graham describes how Putin intends to destroy our democracy from within - and he is succeeding. As a Cold War-era spy, he blames the U.S. for the fall of the Soviet Union. The tools used to achieve this destruction include: racism, violence, insurrection, cyber-attacks, inflation, isolationism, and the conversion and control of American "assets", which includes Donald J. Trump.

Where is the proof? Proof and verification is found in Graham's stunning new nonfiction book - 'From Democracy to Democrazy'. The ebook version of the book was ranked number one in three categories on Amazon only weeks after it's release. It was an immediate bestseller.

Elizabeth Graham had a Top Secret Security Clearance while a senior in high school, and immediately upon graduation began working undercover with the CIA.  She later joined the SAIC's Foreign Systems Research Center (FSRC) for 12 years.  Eight of these years were spent studying Russia and Russian, and managed the largest Russian-language military, technical and intelligence library in the U.S. She began to travel to the Soviet Union and then became one of the very few Americans to move to the USSR. She lived under Communism in the Soviet Union, then Russia, and Central Asia long enough to become bi-cultural - she became Russian. Her first-hand knowledge and understanding of life in a communist or dictatorship country is shared with Americans in this book, as well as an expression of pure fear of Trump's behavior, decisions, and words.

As stated on her website, “When you first read From Democracy to Democrazy, you might think you have found yourself in the middle of a John Grisham novel, or a movie like The Manchurian Candidate. This story line however is true.” From her rejection of an invitation to join the KGB (and surviving to talk about it), to Trump's attendance at the Beverly Hills nightclub opening in Moscow (her oldest daughter managed this joint venture) - her real-life experiences were absorbed only through firsthand encounters. Knowledge gained during this journey is shared with her readers and is entirely factual. This is not a slanted political story written with the intention of swaying political positions, but rather a rendition of her life's hard-earned wisdom.

In a recent blog post, Graham stated, "Trump’s admission of his guilt is a reflection of not just his stupidity, but the arrogance with which he leads his life. This is a man who is lock, stock, and barrel under the control of Vladimir Putin who is a dictator who wishes to destroy the United States. Trump's stupidity also led to his 4 bankruptcies.   No U.S. bank  would loan him money, which led to his working with the Russians, who have laundered millions upon millions (dirty cash) of dollars via Trump's real estate deals.  His tax information provided verification.  The Trump Tower in SoHo (New York) was entire bankrolled by Russians.

"Russians loan money to foreigners for ONE reason – to gain control and compromise that individual. They loaned about $9 million to France’s opposition leader Ms. Le Pen. Trump Jr. said in 2008 'In terms of high-end product influx into the U.S., Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets.' In other words, ten years before Trump became President, most of his income came from Russia. The Russians even openly admitted to election interference and support for Trump in 2016, and they said that they would continue this effort. Of course they wish to have a Russian-controlled American in the White House. Graham explains to the American public how this happened and what it means to our democracy."

From 'Democracy to Democrazy' has received rave reviews and five-stars from readers and reviewers. Kirkus Reviews wrote: "The book's real value lies in Graham's personal story, not only as an expert on Russian society, but as a White grandmother and former Republican who finally came to terms with America's history of discrimination. Graham's astute commentary is also accompanied by an entertaining and informative assortment of political cartoons, graphs, and charts. A well-researched expert guide to authoritarian regimes and the fragility of democracy in America."

An Amazon reviewer stated, "This book is a must-read for Americans who want to know true facts about what's happening to our country. It takes courage to write about the truth and not fall into that 'fake news' trap. This book will give you a stunning perspective - comparing the similarities of how our government operated with Trump at the helm to how Russian government (the DUMA) operates in Moscow. This comparison will shock you. . . . She also connects all the dots of the Trump administration and his partnership with Putin. Thank you, Elizabeth."

Another reviewer said, "Ms. Graham brings a unique perspective on Putin, as well as Trump's many relationships with Russians. She speaks Russian and some Ukrainian and worked under-cover with a top-secret clearance. She lived in Russia for nearly 20 years. She also explains how 'mass manipulation' began in totalitarian countries, and about how so many Americans were 'brainwashed' due to Trump's repetitive rhetoric - a proven form of brainwashing. Her explanations of how Russia operates to entrap foreigners - including Trump - and then threatens their loved ones is an eye-opener for most naive Americans."
