focusing on what Seth had to say. I was too distracted by his comment about not believing the maggot is a "...Russian "spy" or "asset"..."

It seems almost gratuitus to me - the way Republicans do to stay in good graces with the White House squatter, other Republican leaders and/or deplorables.

Wow. He's come down a notch in my mind. At least for the moment.

He could not be part of their intelligence apparatus because that requires actual intelligence. He is, however, their useful idiot. No doubt he's been leaking classified information like a sieve just because he doesn't know when to shut up.

Trump has exceeded expectations as a "disrupter" (sand in the gears) of the west. But he is far too unfocused and undisciplined to actually follow out any agenda. If you were Putin, would you have any faith in this individual working toward your interests?

Russian asset.

Nearly every day Trump demonstrates why Putin was so intent on putting him in the White House.

TrumPutin is too ignorant, untrustworthy, and selfish to be anyone's agent, but his complete devotion to himself, his insatiable greed for attention, and his incredible weakness makes him an easy mark for manipulation and makes him an asset to the enemies of the U.S.
