Because the whole attempt to set up government-as-racket had so many more players than just his "I Alone" front.

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.

I wonder if this has really been about a global Big Fossil takeover of lots of governments, not just ours.

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

And no Diet Coke, though that particular addiction is probably shortening his ill-spent life.

Like he was with the Russians. He was allegedly approached by a UAE person and offered help.

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.

A Camp David meeting of Mideast countries CALLED OFF.

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?
