So many have mentioned this over the years
Hes been going to Russia since 1987
Hes a Russian asset. He will always do what putin tells him to do.
This is not hyperbole. Its easily fact checked. Would love to see anyone in the Democratic Party pound the table about this.

(3,248 posts)I think this Epstein scandal has Russian ties too. He's fighting becuase it may reveal something that just VALIDATES all the past accusations and evidence. The smoking gun if you will.

(901 posts)Why would any president want to keep such a big pile of classified documents? The only logical answer is Russia. Trump has always aligned with Russia while the rest of America has sided with Ukraine. It doesn't take a nuclear scientist to figure this out.

What is wrong with this picture? Either he's completely stupid or completely trusting when it comes to Putin.

(3,084 posts)... Democrat or Republican, were to "pound the table" about Trump's treason, then, Heaven forfend, they'd have to DO something about it. And any politician with a lick of sense knows that getting re-elected takes precedence over a little thing like honoring their sworn duty to defend the Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign or domestic. Especially if the Manchurian Candidate in question is Teflon Don. He done gots dirt on evvabuddy!

Trump continued: One thing led to another, and now Im talking about building a large luxury hotel, across the street from the Kremlin, in partnership with the Soviet government.
Trumps chatty version of events is incomplete. According to Natalia Dubinina, the actual story involved a more determined effort by the Soviet government to seek out Trump.
And it's not because they're left leaning. It's because of their greed and vanity. The Lauders of New York recently donated heavily against Zoran Mamdani and for Cuomo.

Unfortunately, most of the time they have been successful. I hope the catastrophic Krasnov II regime enlightens voters to stop voting for candidates heavily backed by billionaires.

(13,486 posts)People might, might be sick enough of tRump and the right wing to give Democrats a solid victory in 2028, but sadly after that I can already tell you what's going to happen.
It's going to take quite a few years to undo all of the harm done by tRump and his cronies, and a year or so after our victory right wingers will be screaming at the top of their lungs about a lack of progress. Enough voters will fall for this ploy and reelect the GAP in short order. It's inevitable because the right owns most media outlets and has complete control over what information (misinformation) is seen by the public.
