A guy was telling his friend that Trump is a double agent and he is surreptitiously working behind the scenes to bring down Putin.
I don't know where his idea came from - but these deplorables will believe and say anything.
OMG - we're in deep do do here!!!!! Incredible!!!!

(25,245 posts)Now when I talk to people I know are Repugs - I start with this question: Do you consider Putin and Russia our enemy?
That kind of shuts them up and makes them flummoxed.

If you had to choose right now for prez and your choices were
Kamala Harris

(5,810 posts)When the story finally and inevitably comes out, a lot of tRump supporters are going to be dismayed at the level of deception used on them. But for now, in order to save face for their gullibility, they have to grasp at some pretty flimsy straws.
It is as plain as the nose on our faces that tRump was involved up to his ears with Putin to put one over on the USA. Putin has bigger plans and tRump has convinced himself he will be rewarded by Putin for his part in the bigger plan. Putin, channeling his inner KGB agent, will string tRump along, all the way to the edge, where he will be unceremoniously cut loose. There is no fool like an old fool. And tRump, in this case, is about as big a fool as there ever was. He has let his ego and personality disorders lead him into a trap that wont end well for him.
Honestly, if we were writing a spy novel, isnt this the ultimate plot? Evil bad guy, Putin, recruits wanna be evil, bad guy tRump into a plot for world domination? Lets cut to the chase here. This is headed for a cliff and trump wont like the final chapter. He is in far too deep to get out now. The hardest part for those of us watching this play out is the stress of knowing these really are bad actors who dont mind the collateral damage to our countrys way of governance in order to achieve their evil goals. The undermining of our highest institutions of government is happening daily and will take decades to repair.
tRump has miscalculated his relationship with Putin. He had better have a food taster because Putin would not hesitate to lace tRumps KFC with poison just to shut him up and be rid of his sorry ass once and for all. He will let him put a few more things in place and then lower the boom on him. tRump neednt fear Mueller. He only has the power to get him locked up. Putin has the ability and power to take him out to that big tRump tower in the sky. Think on that, Donald.

They are a marvel - albeit one that is more akin to the unimaginable carnage of human potential - but still a marvel.
A wonder of self-satisfied obtuseness.
They are paeans to glorified ignorance.
Scary, dangerous, and seemingly immune to all attempts of learning...anything. Anything at all.
But I could be wrong.
