    Russia got Trump into office, Trump is doing what Trump does mostly. As well as the greasy, slimy, dark cloud of a demon on his shoulder known as Steven MIller.

      Yeah the more realistic explanation than Russia controlling him is that Russia pushed the most divisive and unstable narcissist they could into further and further positions of political power through a variety of techniques including using connections with him and disinformation campaigns. They didn’t do this because of the limited leverage they have over him, but because his behavior damages the united states’s capacity to maintain internal cohesion and external influence. The fact that he ideologically aligns with putin is a fortune coincidence for them

      The heritage foundation laid the structural groundwork for him alongside the post Nixon right and a few other American organizations. They were building courts and culture to enable a fascist president to run amok at their behest.
