   It’s been clear for a long time that he admires Putin, or at least wishes he could run the country with the same authority Putin runs Russia. Still, we shouldn’t forget that with Trump his ego and narcissism always come first. He will quite happily engage in symbolic acts against Putin if it will make him look better, hence his signing of the Graham act. He will also engage in acts to strengthen his personal position to the detriment of the country, hence dropping sanctions.

   There is no world in which don’t believe that Trump is a Russian asset. Nothing else makes sense.

   There is one person on the planet that Trump has not insulted: Putin.

   There is one person on the planet to which Trump ignores long standing norms, laws, and treaties to please: Putin.

   There is one person on the planet who Trump acquiesces to repeately, often against the interests of the USA: Putin.

   It’s going to come out – eventually – exactly what the Kremlin has had on Trump all this time.

      I won’t disagree, but rather than being a recruit or blackmailed, he is willingly Putin’s lap dog. The reason, admiration, fear or whatever is immaterial, but he is willing to do Putin’s bidding in exchange for something that benefits Trump.

      Xi must be jealous.

   Everything she said is/was correct.
   But her emails…
   How different our world would be if lies hadn’t stolen both the Gore and H. Clinton elections.
