By that, I mean idealistically.
You all can see that trump's cabinet is composed of people who have essentially indicated that they are there to destroy their respective departments.
Education, health care, environment, labor, civil rights - all will be significantly compromised by the coup.
I believe Putin's goal is to destroy the US from within. He knows that he can't actually invade the country - that would be ridiculous, but he can show the world that the American system of government doesn't work. The shining example on the hill so to speak is no longer there.
With a severely compromised government, the US will not present a formidable obstacle to Russia's agenda.
Just watch - someone recently posted that you won't be able to find a trump supporter in a few years. Could very well be true.
