Bestselling author Elizabeth Graham, an authority on the Trump-Putin relationship, has issued a stark warning that the United States is succumbing to tyranny under a leader she describes as a traitor controlled by Russia. In a recent Substack post and her book From Democracy to Democrazy: A Warning to All Americans, Graham draws on her two decades living and working in Russia, Central Asia, and Ukraine to argue that Donald Trump is systematically dismantling democratic institutions.
Graham cites the Roman statesman Cicero, who warned that a nation can survive fools and ambition but not treason from within. She writes, ‘The traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.’ According to Graham, Trump’s actions—including removing U.S. troops from Germany, undermining NATO, closing USAID, and attempting to disrupt elections—mirror the Kremlin’s playbook.
Graham asserts that Trump became a KGB asset during a 1987 visit to Moscow, where he was ‘wined, dined, and trapped.’ She claims that Russian organized crime launders $3 billion annually through Trump properties, as reported by The Guardian, and that his net worth increased by $2 billion in 2025, according to Forbes. She also points to his felony convictions for business fraud, hush-money payments, and sexual assault, which legally label him a sexual predator.
The author draws parallels between Russian propaganda techniques and the current political climate, noting that many Americans are persuaded by disinformation similar to Stalin’s collectivization campaigns. She warns that Trump may attempt to extend his rule beyond 2028, reminiscent of Putin’s 26-year grip on power.
Graham’s claims extend to the closure of USAID, which she says has led to an estimated 22 million preventable deaths in Africa by 2030, based on reports from The Lancet and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. She accuses Trump of orchestrating a mass extermination of Black people, calling it no different from Hitler’s atrocities or Stalin’s famines.
Kirkus Professional Book Reviewers called Graham’s book ‘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.’ Graham continues to share her analysis on her Substack at egraham.substack.com.
