"After failing to secure a ceasefire from Putin at the red-carpet summit in Alaska earlier this month, Trump instead targeted Zelensky, claiming the Ukrainian leader "can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight."

Citing Trump's soft posture on Russia, Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa said Wednesday,

"The supreme leader of the world's greatest superpower is, objectively, a Soviet, or Russian, asset. He functions as an asset," according to CNN Portugal."

Maybe Putin has the Epstein list and let Trump know it.

Trump is a dicktator in training; we can't expect his mentor Putin, to teach him everything overnight. Just relax, think of how much time you'll save by not needing to vote any more!

"Trump is a Russian Asset"

What's dangerous is that every member of both Houses of Congress AND the U.S. Supreme Court knows it, too.

Trump chose Paul Manafort, a known russian asset who had worked in europe for years installing russian puppets into democratic governments, AS HIS CAMPAIGN MANAGER in 2015. Then they immediately rewrote the GOP platform to say Putin can keep crimea. That's the ONLY part of the GOP platform they even touched.

It's been totally obvious since then. Anyone who is unaware has simply chosen to be ignorant about it.

And putin's propaganda has made the dumb third of america think that it's better to have a republican president who works for our enemy than a democrat in the white house.
