That was a discussion about him being an agent last night on Rachel Maddow. 2 different agencies thought he was being investigated for just that and both got shut down.
I truly believe he is and worse.

Would explain some things. He has only been able to get loans from deutchebank and Russia. His pal Manafort has been involved in money laundering with the Russians and there is speculation that Trump is doing the same, which is why he has a seemingly unlimited supply of Russian money (as Eric Trump bragged). There was an extremely shady deal for a deluxe Trump Baltic Sea resort in a shit hole backwater town that had a ton of money funneled into it yet never got past the ground breaking stage- a proposed resort that realtors said was crazy and would never turn a profit.
I don’t think Trump would have volunteered to be a Russian stooge, but I can see him making a series of poor business decisions that left him in an easy to black mail position.

I am not creative or evil enough to know how to destroy a country, so I am not sure if there is something else he could do to speed this up.

comments! He'd be a little less brazen about what he's doing. |

There was an opinion piece recently that revealed how Rosenstein limited Mueller’s investigation into Trump’s Russian connections. It specifically referred to two trips Trump had made to Russia and issues with women there. Implied blackmail. Back in the day right wingers would have cared about even a sniff of impropriety with Russia, now they people his cult of personality.

I do want to clearly state that I don't think that President Trump is a Russian operative just in case someone is thinking of tossing me in with the rest of you wingnuts.  |

By the way I think this is also why he is fighting tooth and nail to not release his tax records. They are going to show how much he owes his Russian BFFs.

He would wear a ushanka, have shifty eyes, his speeches would be lacking many pronouns, and he'd refer to those in his orbit as "comrade".  |

On a serious note, can you imagine his cult's heads exploding if this were discovered to be true?
I'll bet they take to the streets with cries of "DEEP STATE CONSPIRACY" rather than accept any amount of evidence. And I mean ANY.
There's no way his base could come to grips with how they were complicit in this. A conspiracy would be the only "logical" alternative. And then Putin still wins.
He must be voted out at all costs. If this comes to light and he's not POTUS anymore, the damage will be manageable. If he's still in office...oh boy.

Yeah they'd work it into their QAnon conspiracy. Nothing so far fetched it can't be bent into something QAnon idiots will believe. |

If Trump Were A Russian Operative
Don't you have to speak Russian to be a Russian operative? Trump can barely speak English.

Then mcconnell and a bunch of repubs spent last 4th of July in Russia, I imagine they got their payoffs too.

The trump campaign also used a picture of rioters attacking a police officer. Riots in the U.S. Only problem was it was a police officer in the Ukraine being attacked by its citizens. link |
