Yep. If Putin managed to install a Trojan Horse president bent on attacking the country internally on all fronts, that president would do what Trump is doing.

What's flabbergasting is how the Republican Party is enabling this. I thought they had more self-respect.

I think the dam will break and many people will start pretending they never supported Trump. And I think this Trump's minders know this, which is why they're destroying everything with such haste. They know they have limited time to gut the country.




That's been the Republican MO since the 90's: break everything, then blame the Democrats for not cleaning up the mess fast enough. I always expected that behavior. What I never thought I'd live to see was watching the Republican Party of all people outright turn into a Russian fifth column.


It shouldn't be a surprise to see greedy selfish people being corrupted by foreign money. Russia is neither the first nor the only country to be doing this in the US.


I think "Russia, if you're listening" goes well beyond just foreign money.
