Several Russian state TV figures have praised Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks, according to Daily Beast columnist and Russian media monitor Julia Davis.
Some hosts on Russian state television are apparently hyped about Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks. And their glee portends something ominous for the United States.
Julia Davis, a columnist for The Daily Beast who monitors Russian media, wrote this week about the various Russian media figures celebrating Trump’s picks to serve in his administration. For example, following Trump’s selection of MAGA conspiracy theorist Kash Patel to lead the FBI, she reported that one host — Vladimir Solovyov — shared a particularly grim prediction of what Patel and the other picks might mean for Americans.
“What an excellent team is coming along with Trump!” Solovyov said on his show Sunday, according to Davis’ report. “Not with respect to Ukraine, but as far as everything else goes. If they are allowed to get in, they will quickly dismantle America, brick by brick. They are so great!”
Yes, but for the wrong reason: it’s because America is going to look more and more like Russia. So, he is inadvertently admitting that Russia is already where America is going to be in the future.
