Is there anyone who still doubts that---for whatever reason---Trump is working for

Russia at the expense of American interests?

I will not bore you with a detailed list of all of the inexplicable and unprecedented pro-Russia actions and pronouncements by the PAB dating back to his campaign. But, it is obvious to any honest person with an ounce of common sense that EITHER Trump is getting paid gazillions of dollars for his "cooperation" or Putin has information---some of it possibly on videotape---that Trump considers so damaging to him if revealed that he will literally do anything to keep it under wraps. It is possible that both of the above explanations are true.

Most recently, just after the news about the CIA rescuing a high-placed spy from Russia, Trump said we should not use spies in foreign nations because "we just shouldn't do that to each other." That is quite possibly the most stupid and inept statement ever made by a "*POTUS".

Trump is a traitor.

Those who support and protect him are cut from the same cloth.

Silence is license.

Failure to act against Trump at some point becomes complicity

and to say he works for Russia , considering the recent Moscow election, is even more far fetched

Trump knows that a videotape of him doing ANYTHING won't lose any support among his sheep. On the other hand, he is absolutely addicted to money because he accumulated debt up to his eyeballs. Putin is bailing him out.

I always regarded the original movie as a bit quaint and too far out there to be believable.
Now I believe he was brainwashed while in Russia, there is no other reasonable explanation.
Not money, not power, not underage Russian children to sex on, while these are no doubt on his pea-brain day and night, not even these and his wanna-be mafia urges can explain everything that's going on.
But add mental conditioning and it suddenly makes perfect sense.

That Trump and Putin has 2020 all sewed up. Don't forget Trump is now on the inside with all the access to State secrets that Putin needs.
We shouldn't be complacent.

Those seem to happily coincide with those of our Russian “friends”.
