"A foreign (Russian) asset has taken the highest seat of power in our government, and is conspiring with Christian nationalists (right-wing terrorism) to overthrow American Democracy and hegemony"

People need to stop giving him this much credit.

He's a narcissistic moron who is being manipulated by the last person with charisma that he's spoken to. If Russia is truly pulling his strings, he has no idea it's happening.

Well, America elected a pedophile heavily involved in trafficking minors and women.

The rest would be expected, no?

Heavily involved? Got any proof for that besides a few pics of him with Epstein?

Wow. Reading might be hard but you are a fucking idiot if you think he wasn’t running a trafficking ring for the elite.

Did you not read about the beauty pageants and that magically two out of the three of them committed “suicide”?

Another living under a rock being led by a pedo.

I’m so tired of the hyperbolic bullshit. Trump is a creep. Him looking at minors is vastly different than being heavily involved in trafficking. I didn’t realize he was buying and sell sex trafficing victims

Why did he direct the FBI to redact his name thousands of times, then direct the DOJ to stop releasing the files?

Must be because of his complete lack of involvement, right? Where there's smoke there's fire.

A "few" pics...

Lmao, fucking bootlicker.

Try 38,000 instances of Trump in the Epstein files.

What did you think Trump's teen beauty pageant was for? The one that he self-admittedly walked into the changing rooms of?

Your president molested young girls, and now he's molesting your country. What a joke Americans and their country have become.

Doesn’t mean he isn’t an asset.

"An asset's an asset, no matter how dumb."

Yes but, that argument isn't an argument.

Russia has utilized unwitting-but-willing accomplices much the same just as long as they've used well-placed assets. We've all seen how many of the stooges in his inner circles are willingly on-the-take for the Russians, and it's beyond obvious how easy it is for them to manipulate Trump into song things they want him to do. All he cares about is the attention and the image it can generate for him in return, regardless of whether or not involves destroying all of western Democracy to get that.
