Donald Trump might not want to get too comfortable in the Oval Office.
The hacker and activist collective Anonymous has just fired a shot across the proverbial bow and is now warning Trump that the next four years will be hell on earth for the new president:
.@realDonaldTrump you have financial and personal ties with Russian mobsters, child traffickers, and money launderers.
— Anonymous (@YourAnonCentral) January 16, 2017
This isn't the 80's any longer, information doesn't vanish, it is all out there. You are going to regret the next 4 years. @realDonaldTrump
— Anonymous (@YourAnonCentral) January 16, 2017
Anonymous also noted that their opposition has nothing to do with partisan politics. Instead, they say it’s because Trump has connections to some very bad things:
We could care less about Democrats attacking you @realDonaldTrump, the fact of the matter is, you are implicated in some really heavy shit.
— Anonymous (@YourAnonCentral) January 16, 2017
During the course of the 2016 campaign, Anonymous slammed Trump as standing for nothing but “greed and power,” but their efforts to undermine him were largely overshadowed by Russian hackers under the control of Russian President/mass murderer Vladimir Putin. Disclosures made via WikiLeaks helped erode support from Hillary Clinton and may have helped sway undecided voters to cast their ballots for Trump.
Since the election, however, the focus has been squarely on Trump and his campaign operatives, some of whom allegedly had close contact with Russian intelligence operatives and government officials. Communications between the Kremlin and Trump campaign members are currently being investigated by several U.S. agencies, including the CIA, FBI, and Office of National Intelligence.
There have also been unsubstantiated allegations that the Russians may have embarrassing information about Trump’s sexual proclivities and financial ties to questionable figures around the globe. If Anonymous were able to find such material and post it on the internet, it could lead to the impeachment of Trump.
One thing is certain: If Trump now has Anonymous and their collection of dedicated hackers working against him, it’s only a matter of time before all the secrets he has become public knowledge.
Sleep tight, Mr. Trump!
