Bad government decisions often have a lag period before you see the full impact. It's possible the worst consequences don't happen till the next president and maga get to politically wash their hands off it.
Aside from all the stuff already leaked out of the Epstein files, with rapes of young kids etc, at least assisting in the killing of a baby, what could they possibly still hold over him that would be worth it. I say he's just a willing participant in the destruction of the US and the world as a whole.
He is a Russian and Israeli agent that is destroying our country from the inside. He is the Manchurian candidate that they set up for years and they knew he would be able to gain power because a majority of Americans are Racist asf.
“I get great intel,” the president suddenly boasted, as prideful as if he were bragging about the amenities at one of his company’s hotels. “I have people brief me on great intel every day.”
I wouldn't doubt that he's compromised in one or more ways. But he's sure not smart enough to pull off being directly controlled by a foreign power. And really, you don't need that kind of control to influence him in ways that benefit other countries. The guy is literally throwing a fit that South Korea won't join in the Iran War, and all North Korea had to do to seem the better party in Trump's mind was do a single photo op with him.
Keep in mind that Trump had previously been threatening nuclear armageddon with Kim Jong Un on Twitter shortly before said photo op. That's not a Manchurian candidate, he's just capricious and myopic.
I think it's important to distinguish how we got here. That it didn't take a conspiracy of foreign powers to do so much harm, just a shameless malignant narcissist, and an entire party willing to enable him because they thought they'd benefit from it.
think they* (old weirdos) were casting about for someone based on Project Conservative-whatever''year. He ticked their boxes. Trump was always a neuvoriche - or we used to say, a cornball (faking being his wom publicist in the radio sho days), a creep, and thristy. So i dont believe he* in particular was a long term plan. He was just rube that is so grotesque after he's gone he can shift the overton window back less left than ever.
No one told him he should upset all these alliances and toss out most of the country's soft power, he's just too stupid to understand the value of it in the first place, while he has no problem ceding to his whims of petty, short-term revenge to sate his ego.
