Trump has been interacting with the Russians for decades, since the 70s and 80s. He is at least a useful idiot for them if not an actual Russian asset. I am in the middle of reading Malcolm Nance's book "The Plot to Betray America". It lays out the facts pretty well. Trump's denials over the years that he has no Russian contacts are outright lies. He has sold Trump condos to Russian mobsters and has been interacting with people connected to the Russian Mafia and Russian Intelligence for years.
Some speculate that he has helped launder Russian Mafia money by selling them Trump real estate, particularly in New York and Miami. Trump visited Russia in the 80s and has been trying to build a Trump Tower in Moscow for decades. He is in Putin's pocket. I think his recent attempts to stop Putin from bombing civilians in Ukraine is just a little show to indicate that he is not Putin's puppet. In truth, I think that Trump wants to be the American Putin.
Trump and MAGA like Russia because Russia is ruled by an authoritarian and they love strongmen and hate liberal democracy. They also like Russia because they are run by Christian Caucasian Fascists and they hate People of Color and Muslims. And of course Trump likes the Russians that are rich, so he loves the Oligarchs and the Russian Mob, who have most of the money in Russia today.
Trump is another political gangster like Putin and the Russian Oligarchs. Trump is in it for the power and the money. He is corrupt and will enrich himself and his family, and also the billionaires around him, while he cuts programs for working Americans and the sick, the disabled, and the elderly. Trump is a criminal and wants to be like the Dictator Putin- rich, powerful, and controlling all of the assets and resources of the country. He admires Putin and Russian corruption and wants to do the same thing here.

(27,907 posts)freespeechtv.org, Malcolm Nance is on the Stephanie Miller show every Wednesday.
Yesterday Malcolm said that the last ship from China that is carrying goods without the tariff increase will arrive on May 10th.
Malcolm also called SignalGate the biggest security threat in our nation's history.
Magats are still using personal phones and computers with the Signal App that self-deletes.
SignalGate and NLRBGate have been swept under the rug. Every Congressional Democrat should be demanding that Hegseth and Musk resign or be fired. (Not sure what job title Musk would resign from)
