Of course he is. Putin has owned him since at least the 80s. I’ve no love for Hillary, but when she called him a Russian puppet, she wasn’t just speculating. Having been Secretary of State, First Lady, and a presidential candidate, she was privy to classified intelligence for a long time. She knew exactly what she was talking about.

Two of Agent Orange’s biggest weaknesses are his narcissism makes him insanely easy to manipulate and his paedophelia makes it ridiculously easy to get kompromat on him. Any nation with more brains than scruples will absolutely have taken advantage of that, but Putin, being ex-KGB has been grooming and propping him up specifically in hopes of installing him as an unwitting puppet in the White House. Look at his Russian connections for decades, how much of his funding has been tied directly to the Russian mafia since the 80s, and where his support came from when he ran for president multiple times over the years as a Democrat (which didn’t work), an Independent (also didn’t work), and at last Republican (finally found the party where the anger/fear/religion cocktail stuck).

And it’s not only in the US; Putin was a major influence in Brexit and other far-right movements as well. It was all laid out in The Foundations of Geopolitics back in 1997 by Aleksandr Dugin, one of Putin’s top strategic advisors.

Israel has been a massive influence for decades, too, of course. They certainly have plenty of kompromat of their own. But Putin was baiting trump with both money via the Russian mafia plus underage sex parties at (heavily bugged) Russian hotels for decades.

Trump is compromised by anyone and everyone with a competent department of spooks.

e: Added links. This isn't a conspiracy theory, it's all very well documented, and massively frustrating that it's not as well-known as it should be.

Israel owned the USA looong before MAGA.
