Is Donald Trump a spy? Is he a “Manchurian candidate” installed in the White House by America’s enemies? Or was the “Dirty Dossier” just an excuse for spying on a despised presidential candidate? Was it the work of concerned Americans and foreign allies, or was it produced by Trump’s political adversaries, working with Russian intelligence? And what does this story have to do with uranium, hazelnuts, a wine bar in London, Jesus vs. Satan, gays for Bernie Sanders, NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and two FBI agents in love? Dr. Steven J. Allen has been a political journalist for 45 years. In the forthcoming book Revolt of the Deplorables, he tells the inside story of the 2016 election. At last year’s AG, he explained what happened at the polls in 2016. This year, he goes deeper — revealing the roles played by Russian and U.S. intelligence and exposing a plot to discredit American democracy.
