As a CIA officer, if I had a colleague talking like Trump is about Putin, I would think he was turned.

He got this reply from a former FBI agent:

Trump has been courted and flipped using the standard Russian methods of money, sex, grandiose and possibly blackmail.

they had no idea he was that dumb. So they've grabbed him for other purposes. He's being played, and is a pawn as POTUS. We are up shit creek in a chicken-wire canoe.

Did they look into his Russian ties? I think his own ties are made in China (or someplace outside the US).

Putin's pretty fond of wasting wayward ruskies with stuff like polonium-210.

Trump wants to play with the big boys? Wonder if he's thought that through good.

he'll have his personal bodyguards and agents, who will be his henchmen, in similar fashion as putin and other dictators. I don't doubt it.

Wouldn't his conduct seem awfully obvious for someone who has turned? One in that position would want to disguise it, lest he lose effectiveness.

I agree more with the FBI agent, although I incline even more to the position that Mr Trump is sheer bloody mad, off his rocker, a few marbles short. But since this is indistinguishable from substance abuse, it is a distinction without a difference.

TREASON. Trump, GOP leaders and Repugnicans have all committed treason against the US democracy.
