Some things are just hard to believe.

Is Donald Trump a Russian agent, working for Vladimir Putin? That is hard to believe.

But with all the secret meetings with Russians, the lies, the connections to Russian money, and the refusal of Trump to say anything negative about Putin or Russia, the seeds of doubt are planted. Almost every person in his Cabinet has a Russian connection.

Then we read that Eric Prince, founder of Blackwater, was setting up a back-channel for private conversations between Putin and Trump. That is hard to believe. Why?

Then we have Trump attack an airfield in Syria and destroy 20 fighter jets, which was first reported as 6 fighter jets, but then the jets are back in the air today. Would Putin and Trump be so conspiring to create such a scenario, for whatever reason? That is hard to believe.

Where is the truth?

This is one of those times where only time will expose the truth.

1. Or someone who already knows the answers.

2. I think the outcome of Tillerson's meeting with Putin

next week will answer some of those questions.
I believe tRump is trying to protect his own interests.

3. If they make some type of deal...

We would have to doubt if they were serious about all the bad-mouthing they did over the hit on the airfield?

4. It's seems unlikely to me that Trump is a willing agent...

... but I do believe that:

a) Trump is an idiot, and Putin is not. In addition, Putin is an experienced intelligence agent. Putin knows how to manipulate vain, egotistical men like Trump. It was his job for a long time.

b) The Russians have Kompromat on Trump, and Trump doesn't want it revealed. But it isn't as simple as Putin threatening to blackmail Trump.... rather it is a matter of subtle, and quiet persuasion. Again... Putin is a pro at this kind of thing.

5. So true and scary as all hell

7. I'm more toward he is in it for the money.

Get some good vibes going with russia and get some "opportunities" in russia. This last bit with syria I'm not sure about unless like other here have said he was worried about his ratings and what they do to dipshit's brand profit.
