      Sure, but the question is whether he was recruited or whether he just like what Putin does to him in private.

    It’s funny that the evidence of Trump being a Russian asset is always some rumored connection with a KGB person, not the fact that he extremely reliably and consistently acts exactly like a Russian asset.

    That just makes it more likely that it’s true, in my opinion.

    Hopefully Stryzen effwct Wi’ll kick in.

      From now on, we should all refer to him as:

      President Краснов.

      I will be.

    This is one of those things that wouldn’t surprise me in the least. Something has felt “off” for a while between him and Russia. But I’m not gonna go spreading it around as if it’s fact if I have no evidence.

      Especially as there’s more than enough reason to impeach and prosecute him even if he isn’t an outright asset

    Saying Trump was a Rus. ASSet give him some credibility of intelligence. He would have to be smart to do what he did in an effort to further Russian plans.

    He is a moron manipulated by Russian assets, to believe this narcissistic idiot that he is the rightful king of America

      People who are intelligent tend to not make deals with foreign nations to betray their own.

      They don’t want smart people, they already have really smart people taken from the homeland and employed as spies. What they really want is greedy people who can be controlled and manipulated - assets that are given everything they desire, and told to do as the boss says or they’ll take it all away and make life miserable for them again.

        They need to be somewhat smart though. I find it hard to believe Trump could go 35 years without outing himself.

      Trump is obviously not the brightest but so aren’t any other (former) soviet assets, when you take a look around. Just look at Babiš or most people close to Putin.

    You know, it is still mind blowing to me that people will share stuff like this (an accusation of espionage based on one Russian Facebook post), and then be surprised, when a lot of people actually believe Trumps “fake news” BS. One of the reasons Trump was able to win is that the Democrats and their supporters completely tanked their credibility with anyone still capable of critical thinking.

    Polling shows most Trump voters would not have voted for him if they were better informed, but of course they won’t be informed if there is no trustworthy mainstream source of information.

    We’ve entered the era of broadcasting* licenses being brandished as weapons in direct opposition to free press 1st amendment rights. We’re gonna see a couple real ones come out of this and a whole lot of propaganda slop.

      You don’t any kind of publishing license for a website in the USA. Or for anything, really.

      What are you referring to?

        Sorry, I guess that would be broadcasting, and DB doesn’t to my knowledge broadcast anything. I do wonder why they line up to play ball then.

    Trump is a Chinese spy, a true patriot of China. He’s misses home so much he insists wearing a red tie risking getting exposed of his true identity.
