4. Not doing Putin's bidding. tRump has gone against Putin enough that he would have released kompromat if existed.

It's an easy go-to saying Putin pulls tRump's strings, but the facts do not support it. We can do better than constantly revisiting the tired old wornout trope that has no reality behind it.

Putin may have interfered to help get tRump elected in 2016, but not calling the shots in 2025. tRump put embargoes and sanctions on Russia. The latest is sanctioning Russia's two biggest oil companies and before that putting heavy pressure on India to stop buying Russian oil.

Putin could release the unicorn pee tapes to create chaos in the US and have a good laugh. No reason for months for him to hold back, so realistically there is no evidence that there are any.
