“He’s a stupid person”

—creepy fat orange racist teen rapist who Russia has over the barrel and who told Americans to drink bleach

[–] grue@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Russia doesn't have Trump over a barrel -- or if it does, it doesn't matter.

The reality is worse than that: Trump betrays America to do Putin's bidding willingly because he's a fanboi simping for him.

Remember when Don invited Russians to the oval office to share intelligence with them, and no US journalists were invited to cover it, only Russia?

Then, very mysteriously US spies started getting killed. Unrelated I’m sure…

In case anybody doubt of this coincidence, here a bunch of mainstream sources:

Eh, little of column A, little of column B.

I'm just saying that claiming Trump is compromised gives him credit he doesn't deserve. Insisting on absolving him of some of the blame like that is almost tantamount to a pro-Trump position.

[–] Nusm@yall.theatl.social 6 points 3 months ago

I’m not absolving him of anything, but I definitely think he is compromised. It wouldn’t have been that hard for the Russians to get something on him. I also don’t think he gives a hoot, because he wants Putin to like him, so he’ll do anything to please him. Its almost like he’s got a crush on Putin.
