I think Donald Trump is such a narcissist that he thinks he can negotiate with Putin
We’ve never had a President who was easier to manipulate and cajole with empty flattery

There’s no better preview of the America Trump and his Project 2025 buddies want than Russia. We will be just as hollowed out and adrift, but with guns.

And yet all these proud MAGA Americans could careless that their leader is a traitor.

This is actual treason. We don’t need to keep arguing about what Jan 6 was or wasn’t. Let’s get a move on!

The problem is we don’t treat traitors harshly enough anymore.

It’s concerning to think that Trump might be playing into Putin’s hands; his ongoing relationship with a known adversary raises serious questions about loyalty to the U.S. and national security.

For decades, Pulitzer-winning journalist David Cay Johnston reported on Donald Trump’s long-standing ties to Russia, beginning in the late 1980s. Which findings have since been corroborated by many other reputable sources, including the wrongfully and maliciously maligned Mueller report.
Johnston’s key findings include:
* **Compromising Information**: Russia has reportedly accumulated 30 years’ worth of damaging information on Trump, linked to his questionable business dealings and connections with Russian oligarchs and gangsters.
* **Early Entanglements**: Donald Trump Jr. has admitted to receiving significant funds from Russians, and Johnston notes Trump’s involvement with Russian criminals from the late 1980s.
* **Manipulation and Blackmail**: Johnston suggests that Trump’s narcissism has made him susceptible to manipulation and blackmail by Putin and Russian intelligence.
* **Extensive Business Dealings**: In his book, “The Making of Donald Trump,” Johnston outlines Trump’s extensive interactions with Russian mobsters and oligarchs, alongside Trump’s consistent denials of any misconduct, which Johnston attributes to his “con artist” tendencies.
Based on this information – much of which has been publicly available for decades – Trump should have been disqualified as a candidate back in 2015. And Trump isn’t a legitimate candidate **NOW** for the very same reasons of his remaining a national security risk as well as a result of his insurrection attempts in 2020-21.
No question – whatsoever – in my mind that Trump has already shared highly classified national security secrets with Putin during his time in office as well as shared the trove of highly classified documents he’s stolen from the U.S. gov’t when he left office.
An act which Trump insists that Pres. Biden be charged and arrested for (on baseless charges) but **NOT** him, for which there exists mountains of concrete, credible evidence of wrongdoing. Trump’s narcissistic double-standard hypocrisy is just mind-numbing.
There is ***ONLY ONE*** place Traitor Trump belongs in at this moment – and that is in prison – preferably Guantanamo.

This is so obvious that I almost think the CIA is using unwitting Trump to either Spy on Putin or inject lies into any intelligence Trump provides.

Truly amazing all you have to do is say fake news and this disappears
This guy needs to be indicted on the Logan Act.
Same rules never apply to Republicans.
They can and will target Adams, and it will work.
