Why Is the GOP Siding With Putin?

[laughing dog]

That Trump is a Russian asset is pretty clear: He sucked up to Putin against all advice. The question is: HOW did he become a Russian asset?

This is Trump berating NATO because its European members were not keeping their defense commitments while sending money to Russia for oil. But keep up the TDS.

Your response is a non-sequitur. Other Presidents berated NATO members for not fulfilling their spending commitments but were not considered Russian assets. But good job keeping the TDS flowing.

I agree on Trump's cognition. He does not appear very bright evidenced by his string of business failures propped up by shady money. By all accounts he ran the WH the same way he ran his businesses.

People who know him said his campaign was a more of a publicity stunt and he did not expect to win.

No planning, completely opportunistic in the moment. No strategy make it up as you go along. Through trial and error he found a base he could motivate.
