DISINFO: Global elites overthrew Donald Trump
SUMMARY
The US does not exist as a national state which defends the interests of citizens. This was shown by the overthrow of Donald Trump. The US has become a hostage of its own global elites.
RESPONSE
This disinformation claim combines a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about secret global elites with the narrative about the stolen 2020 US presidential election from former President Donald Trump. The narrative is now being repeated in the context of the withdrawal of the US troops from Afghanistan.
Donald Trump was defeated by Joe Biden in a legitimate and valid election: the 2020 presidential election, which has been indisputably proven to be the most secure democratic election in history, well managed and legitimate, as determined by the US Supreme Court. See here more about OSCE election observations in the US.
Furthermore, there is also no evidence of the existence of any kind of secret global elite that controls national governments, a popular concept in pro-Kremlin conspiracy theories, along with the idea of a “shadow world government” and a “deep state”.
