(205,202 posts)All this time we've been focused on his traitorous relationship with Putin - and then his "love affair" with Kim Jong-un. And then there was his (and Kushner's) extremely suspicious closeness with the Saudis. As you said, there were clearly a lot more players - and it may take decades to uncover the full extent of the previous administration's betrayal.

(205,202 posts)We know that he was taking instructions from the UAE, rather than working for the American people, so this is clearly treasonous.

UAE connects a lot of the creeps: George Pedophile Nader, Elliott Broidy, Erik Prince, Kushner. That whole weird Qatar move, where Trump suddenly turned on an ally who host on of our military bases? Barrack.

I know none of these countries are "our enemy", but they certainly do not have identical interests with the US. At what point does doing the bidding of another country in opposition to our interest constitute.... treason? or at least treachery?
I just keep trying to swallow. How could this man have been president??? How could someone who over and over has been shown to sell out the country's interest get 64 million votes?
