    Holy shit, this “Putin is controlling Trump” conspiracy theory is getting on my nerves. 🙄

    Does Putin try to manipulate Trump? Maybe. Does Trump feel threatened by piss video leaks? Ask Epstein!

      I think it’s much more likely that almost everyone in Trump’s orbit is controlling him. Probably showing him fake AI vids to convince him of things while flattering and cozening all the while. He’s like a Beyblade getting wound up by every player and lashing out in every direction.

      It would explain a lot, but not everything so I don’t know.

      I don’t think you need “try” or “maybe”.

      He definitely does. Not because he’s a masterful genius that’s controlling the world, but because Trump can be manipulated easily.

      Which is how Trump is being manipulated by so many pieces of shit at the same time.

      Right? They are completely capable of controlling him themselves.

      Now Tulsi Gabbard on the other hand. But the fact that she’s kept out of the know on many things, shows that Putin isn’t the mastermind.

        One hand washes the other.

        Like AIPAC being supported by the white Christian evangelist because to them, they will hasten the rapture.
