What Trump is doing here does not have to make sense. He's already decided what he is going to do. There will be a second coup. The only questions are how successful and how violent?

Turns out Russia was listening. This is what happens when we elect a spray-tanned glorified interior decorator with a vengeance kink.

If you include Israel in on all this, you'll have many more listeners and believers. No foreign country influences American elections more than Israel.

Israel, Russia and China should be America's top adversaries, in that order.

No one, anywhere, has ever managed to inflict anything even close to the kind of profound damage Trump and his Republican enablers have wrought upon this nation and its institutions.

And the sooner Americans realize that Israel was the model the better position they'll be to deal with it.

The MAGA ideology is nothing more than chauvinist Zionism for white Christian Americans.

Good point. They would be replacing this Gov's current top adversaries, Greenland, Cuba, and the American People.

As DJT obviously knew and encouraged Vlad to interfere for him, it was par for his course to then accuse Dems and China of what he himself was doing.

Proof that 2020 election was stolen and the Deep State worked hand in hand with China. The likely-hood that COVID was an intentional biological weapon attack and not an accidental lab leak needs to be investigated. We are now at war with China and the Deep State. All three letter agencies need house cleaning. The Democrat party (the party of the permanent government bureaucracy) has to answer for crimes against the American people.

Not to mention the psychological problems, so I won't mention them.

It's an attempt at satire.
