  1. In a recent AXIOS interview, Trump admitted that he has never confronted Putin with intelligence indicating Russia placed bounties on the heads of U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Pressed on why he didn’t raise the matter in his phone call with Putin, he said: “That was a phone call to discuss other things, and frankly that’s an issue that many people said was fake news.”  No one other than Trump and Putin has stated it was fake news. When Trump was asked about Russia supplying weapons to the Taliban, Trump said, "Well, we supplied weapons when they were fighting Russia, too." 😲 During the interview, Trump defended Russia in the exact same manner that Putin would have. In fact, it was almost as if the reporter was interviewing Putin himself, based on the lies, deflections, and whataboutisms that Trump gave as answers. Trump owes the Russians way too much money for him to be questioning Putin about anything. If Putin were to tell Trump that today is Christmas, Trump would have no choice but to nod his head in agreement and say "So it is. Merry Christmas Vlad!!!" Since the 80s the Russians have been financially supporting Trump and bailing him out from bankruptcy after American banks stopped loaning Trump money. He is still indebted to them today. And just like any loyal dog, Trump knows better than to bite the hand that feeds him.

  2. Trump serves at the pleasure of Putin. He's not interested in protecting our troops, he's only interested in slavishly serving and protecting Putin. And if that means selling out our troops, then so be it. As far as Trump is concerned, their lives are a small price to pay, just as long as he gets what he wants. The motivating factors that drives a person to betray their own country, and become a willing agent of another hostile country are broken down into the acronym MICE. M oney I deology C ompromise/Coercion E go Trump clearly has no ideology, because he believes in nothing. But he is clearly susceptible to the other 3. Money, Ego and being Compromised. There's no doubt that Putin, being a KGB agent, recognized those weaknesses in Trump from a mile away. People like Manafort, Kushner, Don Jr, Moscow Mitch, and many other Trump associates fell prey to at least 3 of those factors as well. Trump and his inner circle presented a target rich environment for Russan agents. I have no doubt that Putin was both dumbfounded, and elated at how many of Trump's people were so eager to betray America.. On April 18, 2019, a redacted copy of Mueller’s report was released to the public. The Mueller report builds on the U.S. intelligence conclusion that there were two campaigns to elect Trump— one run by Trump and one run by the Russian government. The Mueller report clearly identified connections between the Trump campaign and Russia. The report states that there were a total of 272 secret contacts between Trump’s team and Russia-linked operatives were identified, including at least 38 meetings. All of Trump's people initially lied about these contacts when questioned.
