War fanatic known as 'Putin's brain' issues sinister assassination warning to Trump
Share:
A Russian ultranationalist philosopher known as 'Putin's Brain' has issued a chilling warning to Donald Trump about the threat of assassination. Alexander Dugin, 63, said the newly inaugurated US president could be a victim of the country's "deep state". Dugin - whose TV pundit daughter Darya Dugina, 29, was assassinated in a suspected hit by Ukraine in 2022 - said Trump's determination to reveal US documents about John F Kennedy'a death put the US president at risk.

"Trump promises to make information about Kennedy's murder available to everyone, to make it public, and about many crimes of the 'deep state' inside the USA," said ideologue Dugin, also known as "Putin's Rasputin", adding: "This directly affects the interests of the special services, a huge number of influential circles.

"I think the resistance to Trump will be huge. It is impossible to rule out either an assassination attempt on him, or …terrorist attacks, or social unrest. [This has] not yet been launched, but all this is possible.". The 2022 car bombing which killed Darya was likely intended for Dugin, seen as a key figure in the war-backing Putin propaganda machine. The pair had switched cars returning to Moscow from an event and the explosion killed her.
Dugin's comments came after Trump accused Putin of "destroying Russia" by failing to make a deal that would put an end to the devastation suffered in its war on Ukraine. The new US president told reporters: "He has to make a deal. I think he is destroying Russia by not making a deal. I think Russia is going to be in big trouble.".
