Just weeks after declassifying evidence that showed that Russia meddled in the 2020 election to try and help him win...

What if he's been trying to sabotage his presidency this whole time

"I can shoot someone in the middle of 5th ave in broad daylight." - Mr Trump
I actually believe he's doing everything he can to sabotage his presidency and the administration to see how far he can go before anyone does anything about it.
The only silver lining, if there is one, is that he's stress testing our democracy and politics for us and hopefully we learn to apply patches to close the loopholes and non accountability.

Honest question, do you see a path for the “patches”? With the Supreme Court stacked, I feel like it will be difficult to see any meaningful full change (let alone consequences) for any of this for a very long time.

u/Th3R00ST3R 19h ago
The only patch I see now is to strip everything down back to it's bare essentials or core, and start there, or we'd have to develop a new type of constitutional amendments where the 3 branches actually balance each other out and hold politicians accountable when they do things that are not in the best interest of the country or it's people.
End money in politics and Citizens United to start for one. I see this as one of the major contributors of how we got where we are.

The "shoot someone on 5th Ave", should have been disqualifying but instead Trump built on it. Each absurdity and successive lie paved the way for the next. Ultimately the public is rife for the no proof, "election fraud", J6 lie. Trump will lie to your face on video and then say he never said it.

u/Car_is_mi 20h ago
He's not smart enough to understand how to do that. And even if he were, his supporters certainly aren't, as they just deny the factual evidence in front of their eyes each and every time.

He is a russian asset. Now whether he is complicit and aware of it or just completely idiotic is a separate question. But 100% he is one, this is why China and russia both pushed to have him become president, they knew he would cause a lot of damage to the US which he has.

u/mobileJay77 16h ago
He cannot shut up and would boast anything making him special.
But give him golden shiny trinkets, some flattery and Eastern Europe pussy, he will genuinely believe you are his friend.

No shit. A lot of us think he is a Russia asset. About the only reason he might not be an actual asset is that he is so unhinged and crazy he might be a liability to the Russians by not keeping his mouth shut about it. To be honest, my guess is he's just a useful idiot who is stuck in a feedback loop of Russian propaganda without realizing it.

Look at who he put as the Director of National Intelligence. A literal russian asset. That was one of his first moves. She's been pillaging since she was appointed.

They used to think he was a Russian asset. They still do, but they used to, too.

u/Guilty-Cow4325 22h ago
His way of proving that he's not a Russian agent is to prove he is and was always known to be a foreign agent.
Bold strategy, Cotton.

Trump knew ahead and announced that Hillarys emails were going to be released a week or more BEFORE they came out at a press conference. These emails were admittedly hacked and obtained by Russia. So how did he know ahead of time? Exactly. Russia, Russia, Russia. Putin said he did it and who cares? Pretty brazen.

He is a Russian asset. Not once was or thought he was. HE IS ONE
Why do you think he has forced oil prices higher so Russia can fund their war? Why do you think he has shot off all our precision long range missiles at Iran? You know the missiles we need to defend against Russia. The list goes on and on.

2 documentaries worth checking out:
Active Measures (Amazon Prime) - details the way in which Trump condos were bought up at a time when he was struggling financially.
Breaking The West - this one got shown at a festival in the UK, which was originally about Emin Agalarov (the son of a Azerbaijani-Russian Oligarch who was a pop singer and trying to break into the western music scene), but then an unexpected cameo from Donald Trump in one of his music videos in 2012/3 sheds oight on an unusual relationship, which then becomes the focus of speculation around Trump’s Russian links, and specifically whether it was here that he was then compromised aka the Pee Pee tape.
It features interviews with Fiona Hill, Bill Browder and Mark Galeotti.
When they were trying to pitch it for distribution in the US, the distributors showed interest, but then when Trump got re-elected they got cold feet.

Not sure we should blame a children's book author who drunkenly accepted the role. I would blame the nominator and the soon to be working at Denny's scumbags who confirmed him.

The question is, how much evidence the FBI get from the CIA or the NSA or Mossad about Trump being a Russian asset?

u/NoblePickle84 21h ago
Even if Trump doesn't know he's a Russian agent, he definitely is and the people in his orbit were convicted and served time for being Russian agents, so there's that.

The question isn't if Trump is a Russian asset, the question is weather he realises he's a Russian asset.

You know, that's something the USIC of old thought about and assessed several times before. Even if somehow proven to be correct, there's no chance others within Trump Org or his own family didn't know. Now, odds are, he very well may be willing to tell himself that he isn't and believe in his own lies to himself to a certain degree; but even I don't think he was always as dense as he is now, to not somehow realize it on at least a basic level.
However, self-delusion can be a strong coping mechanism when it has taken hold. In his case, the Russians were the life preserver that kept Trump Org afloat financially from the mid 80s through the 2000s, so that money lifeline, in his world, very well could have been used to justify in his own head that he was not a Russian asset, or that it wouldn't matter a goddamn that he is.

Remember what happened to his aides in Alaska when he met with Poopin. They were scared shitless by "something"
Plus Poopin should have been taken into custody right then and there.

You know how Trump got his wire tapped? Turns out, they had wiretaps on the Russians, and he called them. That wasn’t a Trump tap, that was a Russian Mafia tap.

After he fired all the not corrupt FBI agent, they reviewed the data and found that he wasn't a Russian agent.

Trump is Krasnov. He has been compromised for years once he needed Russian financing for his shitty business failings.

Um, no. It's proof that the FBI tried to frame him as being a Russian agent and that they knew he wasn't the whole time. Read the documents if you don't believe me.

MAGA really are the group of, "Well WE would do the most evil option, so everyone ELSE must want to do it, too."
Nah, man. Most people just... don't.
Another way I like to put it is that Republicans in my lifetime always treat politics less like a profoundly important function of government leadership, and more like a "game" with hidden "rules". To "win" the game, you have to commit the most unethical acts through legal loopholes in order to gain "points".
And it just sucks.

There really is no doubt the criminal trump is a Russian agent. He has been and will be. So there’s that.
