If he's not drunk, he's nuts.

But who can argue that Trump is not behaving exactly as a Manchurian Candidate would behave?

I don't think it's true that they brainwashed Trump - i think it's just that Trump being a selfish egotist who has largely failed was eager to work with people who seemed to love him and willing to overlook/ignore the clear warning signs.

They "groomed" him for years. Putin has him by the nuts.

AGAIN----- he is behaving precisely as a Manchurian Candidate would behave with respect to Russia.
