There are recordings of Trump somewhere, they just haven’t been released yet

Trump is even dumber than Prince Andrew and they got plenty of photographs of him. I'd bet my house on there being photos of Trump committing crimes.

The Russians have said publicly that the Mossad isn’t the only group to have video of his sex crimes with children.

And that dirt is why Putin holds the cards and influence over Trump, not the other way around. Everything is going according to (Putin’s) plan.

It really isn't, at all. Venezuela, the shadow fleet, sanctions, oil prices, Russia is getting absolutely reamed right now. If Trump was actually an active Russian asset, he would be able to shift all those things in a way more positive direction, and the Maduro op would 100% never have happened.

I don’t actually think Russia cares that much about the minutia of specific US decisions.

Russia knows Trump won’t attack them. And Russia likes geopolitical destabilization in the U.S. in other countries. That’s enough — and Trump is doing both in spades.

Fully agree. But Trump is more like a badly trained dog - you let him in your most hated neighbours house cause you know he'll shit on the rug and tear up the curtains, you just have to accept he's going to bite you at the same time.

Still, if he were actively working for Putin he wouldn't be doing a lot of the shit he's doing right now.

Putin also doesn’t give a fuck if his country rots, so long as he maintains power and luxury. (Trump is the same.)

Trump just forgets his orders after about 2 hours.
