13. Trump could be an unwitting stooge....

Sat Apr 1, 2017, 11:14 PM

Apr 2017

but why should the American people continue to suffer someone who is so stupid, incompetent or arrogant.

He could also a witting stooge for ideological reasons or for money

He could also be a witting stooge because he has been compromised over money, sex, etc.

He could also out and out made a deal with Russian officials for their help in exchange for removing sanctions. This is why his campaign and admin is full of people with all these ties.

Finally, he is a traitor seeking to use Russian help to not only get elected and make himself money, but to crater our democracy, centralize power around himself and make himself an US version of Putin.

Take your pick. In any case he is a grade a sociopath that needs to go soonest.
