he would go through hell and high water to find out who that person is and poison him and I'm willing to bet any amount that good old suck up Donnie told him since he can't keep anything secret from a fellow Billionaire. This traitorous PINO must be stopped.

President's aren't intelligence agents to being with, so getting turned into an asset for another country would just make them a spy/traitor... not a double agent. For him to be a double agent would imply that Russia thought he was a traitor/spy for them... but he was really working for us.

Trump is an unethical narcissist out only for himself that can be easily manipulated money and the allure of money and power. I doubt he is a double agent as he loyal to no one but himself.

This ego maniac is too easy to manipulate. A complete failure. Don't give spies too much credit...look at Paul Manafor. Flynn

My thought exactly. Russia would never hire such an easily manipulated boob. They get all the benefits without the baggage.

There’s no baggage at all when you are manipulating the guy at the top.

in their battle against Democracy.

Even if Putin did nothing else, tRump has done damage that will take decades to repair, and some of the damage will never be undone. All Putin need do is sit back and offer an alternative to the nations of the world, an alternative that is not the now-compromised USA.

Nobody is claiming Trump is a double agent as the term is normally used. He's believed to be a Russian asset (duh!), not a double agent.

"The Spy in the Big White House" would be good for a children's book. I haven't come up with a good title for an adult book (and I don't mean nasty) on the subject. Ideas?

I'm considering a brief synopsis of it as a separate post. I'm only now learning about this, so there's got to be a lot of others who haven't yet heard.
