He is. I repeat that every day to my wife. Everything he is doing is right out of Putin’s playbook to create as much instability as possible. He doesn’t care about America. Putin has had him for some while now and it shows in everything Trump is doing. Wife and I are getting the little guy’s passport asap in case something is to truly happen and so when we decide to flee this he’ll hole in a few years we can.

So where do you think to just go?

u/whereswaldro 1d ago
Would love to end up somewhere like Sweden or Switzerland. Being from the northeast I don’t mind the cold so maybe Canada. Just not a country where half the people are absolute morons who only care about themselves. I also couldn’t be any less religious so I would love to be in a country that isn’t as dumb as we are here letting religion ruin what could be a great society.

I’m more asking do you have the means to go there? Like you either need a job or a ton of money

Ahh well hopefully in a few years we will. Wife is an educator and I have a few degrees and different skill sets that should lend well to moving to a different country. We certainly couldn’t do that right now but we aren’t looking to either. Maybe in a few years depending on how soon Trump starts WWIII when he tries to take Greenland. My biggest concern is that somehow he either illegally finds a way to run for a 3rd term or some other nut job in the Republican Party takes up where he left off in which case I will cross the border by foot if I have to. I know the next 3 years are going to be incredibly difficult on the middle class (me) and I’m preparing for that but I won’t be a part of this country if it continues down the road it’s on. We’ve been taught this country is great and it stand for freedom and democracy but that’s not what the people of this country have shown recently when they voted that orange piece of shit back into office.

If anyone else was a foreign asset they'd be trying to hide it better than this.
Is everyone at the pentagon just completely without any intuition? No suspicions at all? I thought these were global intelligence masters who know what dictators have for breakfast. What's happening in front of their face is just too hard to piece together from the clues?
The president having secret meetings with our biggest enemy and then praising him isn't a thousand foot-wide red flag? Are all the spy stories we hear about the intel agencies completely made up?
"Golly, this Putin guy must be up to something. Anyone got any ideas? I'm stumped. Man, figuring things out is all hard and stuff. I just wanted to be like James Bond and shoot guys with metal teeth."

It really doesn’t make sense, in fact it’s getting harder to accept that this whole thing isn’t an inside job.

He doesn't have to hide a thing because he controls the largest news outlets in America and installed loyalists as heads of the FBI and DOJ. He controls what people hear and the head of the Federal police wouldn't dare question him.

No suspicions at all?
The FBI did a report, was a whole big thing last time he was president, concluding that he in fact is a russian asset

I feel like there’s a HUGE difference between not knowing if he’s a Russian asset or not, and waiting for a major news outlet (controlled by the people benefiting from capitalism) to flat out, definitively say that he is a Russian asset.
Things can be true despite the news not reporting it, or worse, twisting the story, which is pretty much everyday at this point.

At this point I think he is just running cover for Putin and doing all the things that would get Putin a total embargo if he tried them. When/if Trump can get Canada and Greenland he will "sell" them to Russia to "pay off" our debt

We know. It was proven. There was an entire report written on it by intelligence agents.

Actually the county that has benefitted the most from Trump is th Chinese. Everything he's done in the name of America has only helped bring China closer to surpassing America.
He does things Russia wants as well, but Russia isn't in the position to become the world's leading super power if America's standing was to fall. China on the other hand, they're basically inheriting all the good will that use to flow to America. They'll also absorb a lot of the business that America loses.

What ever happened to the young lady who showed up at his Mar Largo Florida golf course and told him she was a Rothschild, but it turned out she was a Ukrainian/Russian. ??

Putin will award Trump the Grand Star of Russia for services rendered to the Kremlin.

Trump likes money too much to carry Putin's water for free. He's on Putin's payroll and has been for a long time.

The people who contort information given about outside influence culturally and politically (the convicted in mueller report, tenet media, having lavrov and another high official from russia alone in the white house for example) mistake purposefully or not that there is indeed influence but there is not necessarily yet concrete evidence of him being involved to the point that some conflate as an active agent for russia. However, there can be more than one explanation to how these actions can be determined to be legitimate where trump wants to be an autocrat as he has said publicly he admires putin. Russia, or putin's objective is to restore ussr and cripple the us. trump wants to change influence to own everything in the hemisphere, like an autocrat would, damn the consequences.

Oh, they had him pegged in '77, made KGB contact in 1980, then started giving him money shortly after that! It's all documented!

Oh we know for sure. There is no ability for him to deny that he is simply the western arm for putin

Um, but we do know he is a russian agent. Have you not been paying attention? There is no doubt anymore.

Funnyly enough he also fucked the Russian markets without even touching the Russians.

I want to agree, but specifically on tariffs it seems like Russia would have lower tariffs on China. Also Russia would probably let ByteDance own 100% of TikTok in the US.

Russia and China aren't really friends. China is just more than happy to take advantage of Russia whenever the opportunity presents itself.

A russian asset? No, he's a friend of Putin. One might argue about what would be best for russia or what would have been best for russia in the recent past but Putin's course isn't.
One might argue that doing what putin wants has proven to be a good way to destroy russia...

u/Wotzehell 1d ago
Putin running the country hasn't turned out to be all that good for Russia. Being Putin's friend would make Trump a russian asset if Putin would be interessted in doing what's best for Russia.
Putin is more interessted in a place in the history books, he wanted to be hailed as the hero who put russia back on the map, made it mighty again.
He went about it the wrong way and now he'll sacrifice as many russian soldiers as it takes to secure his wobbly seat. Not in the best interesst of Russia.
