Donald Trump is the suborned agent of a hostile foreign power

I know we all know that, but it's important to say out loud some times. It's important because it's the only way his actions as President make any sense at all.

Here's a little thought experiment I like to offer my friends who hesitate at the sentence in the title: forget Donald Trump. Forget the past two years. Imagine that the suborned agent of a hostile foreign power became President: what sorts of things might that agent do?

Every single aspect of his Presidency makes perfect sense when you put it in that perspective

If this is true. Hopefully this will be enough to suspend his power now while we impeach and convict him.

Remember last summer, when Cheeto insisted that no other person could be allowed in the room with him and Putin? And no recording devices of course. There was one translator that came in with Putin, but we weren't allowed to question the guy about what happened in the meeting.

It was the strangest thing I ever heard of, and Cheeto's behavior afterwards was very telling. (I guess Pootie wouldn't give him his Adderall.)

Feinstein and Grassley walked out looking stunned. Almost unable to speak. Feinstein said it was highly classified and they couldn't talk about what they had learned. Was this it? That the FBI was investigating trump for being a Russian asset? If so, their expressions and body language make sense now. Hard to imagine something worse.

Unbelievable that don the con has gotten away with his games for all these years. Also unbelievable that so many so called patriots were taken in by him.
