It was obvious years ago. Unfortunately too many people refused to believe what they were seeing and hearing. And they let him into office again.

we knew it FOUR YEARS AGO when all the classified crap was found in his gods damned overpriced gilded BATHROOM. it's been painfully obvious SINCE THEN.

It’s not about serving Russia or listening to them, it’s about one Dictator using another.
Dictators always do what’s in their own best interest. That means if being friendly with a war criminal is in their best interest… they do it.
The second that changes, their attitude towards that person changes.
That’s how dictators operate.
The only person they serve is themselves.

Not just the white house. At least 50% of you citizens are fucking traitors. Y'all need to be more like general Sherman!

the Epstein files are superfluous. Trump is out there for all to see. his actions are flagrant and treasonous. he's more than demonstrated that his entire intent is the destruction of the American Democratic Republic and it is being backed by an equally treasonous political party that has cowed the rest of the country into submission.

Most of us recognized this during his first term.
He's just not being so subtle anymore

He wasn't subtle last time either

If only people realize he’s a Russian asset everything makes more sense
Hillary called him out and so did Kamala
he should of been arrested on Jan 7th 2021 and tried for Treason

I know it's easy to claim something retroactively, but in the 90's, when I first became aware of who Trump was, my first thought was that he seems like the worst qualities a human can have all wrapped into one person.

Its been obvious since 2017

Some of us knew this long before he was in the white house, that's why we didn't vote for him...

you knew this before you let him weasel into office the first time.

It's painful to see people wake up to the things we've been saying for a decade now.
Except now they're pretending they weren't making fun of us for saying it back then.

decade? more like, three or four...

Everyone is awake. The reds chose this. The blues couldn't stop it. The greys watched Netflix and won't do anything no matter what happens.

"Why are you so mean to me by telling me that my denial of reality had anything to do with the current shitshow??? How was I to know it was that bad when you were literally telling me it was going to be that bad???" -Trump voters probably

I've seen a few pull the "I didn't vote for this" after they personally got screwed, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Time will tell whether or not their voting patterns change.

I actually dont think he's a Russian asset, not in the way people on here believe. I think he's an israeli "asset" and i think it has less to do with blackmail and more to do with big business wanting to copy its russian model around the world. Israel is the only nation thats allowed to have a foot in both camps without being punished. India, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico have all faced criticism and threat of sanctions for their economic ties to Russia, but Israel slips by unscathed. Many of 1/

The original Russian oligarchs have either attained israeli citizenship through residence or were entitled to it because of their jewish heritage. When you look into the men behind the establishment of the oligarchy, they are all US based economic advisors who have had roles in US administrations and major banks going back to the Reagan admin. One way or another they all have ties back to Martin Feldstein who was Reagans chair of economic advisors. He was the doctoral professor for several 2/

They all in turn have ties to former russian deputy prime minister and Putin ally, Anatoly Chubais who is a russian israeli and was appointed to his role as deputy prime minister due to his part in the 3/

First experiment in privatisation in russia in the late 80s in Leningrad; virtually everyone involved in that little gang has gone on to hold high political office and become obscenely rich. He currently resides in israel having "fled" after the invasion of Ukraine, but ostensibly operates as a business ambassador for Putin, he was among the very first handful sanctioned by the EU and US in 2022/23. I think Trump wants a seat at the table, just like Putin did when he came to power. One of the 4/
FrancsTireur
First things Putin did upon assuming office was to target Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the richest and most powerful of the original oligarchs. Putin systematically destroyed him and eventually had him charged with fraud, by all accounts he then got the other oligarchs together and said you tow the line and you give me a cut and ill leave you be. Which is remarkably similar to the scenes at Trumps inauguration where Americas oligarchs gathered round to pay tribute to him. 5

Israel, although wealthy for its size, is a tiny country with a tiny economy. Minuscule compared to those other country's you mentioned, never mind the US itself. Nothing like the degree of economic leverage you're proposing, and if that's not the explanation then you're left with Ye Olde Jewes Controllynge Ye World motif, aren't you?
FrancsTireur
Read the rest of what i said, Israel is perhaps the only neutral intermediary between the west and east, they have taken over doing the shady shit that Switzerland used to do. Stop thinking about Russia and America as countries and start thinking of them as mega corps, Putin is the CEO of Russia and Trump wants to be the CEO of America, Israel serves as a conduit for the dirty deals between the Russian oligarchs who were established with the aid of american economists in the 90s and western 1/

Business leaders who have an eye on establishing the same setup in america and across the west. Unlike in russia they can't just toss people out of windows so the process involves manipulating the democratic system and the free media. Israel benefits because Benny is a corrupt bastard so im positive he's getting a cut, and most of those oligarchs as I said are Russian Israeli's. Roman abramovich, Alexander Ushmanov, Anatoly Chubais and more. 2

I live in the UK, and so do absolutely tons of filthy rich Russians, oddly enough. Many of them still have business interests in Russia. The UK government occasionally makes a half-hearted attempt to sanction one or two of them for their "links to the regime", but it's pretty much a token effort. I expect it's much the same in France, Germany, Italy etc.
So while it may go on Israel too, it's hardly unique in that respect.
FrancsTireur
The UK isn't a great place to do business though due to its regulations and taxes, Israel is a great place to do business because something like half israels population are russian or Ukrainian Jews so no one blinks when you do business with someone called Khodorkovsky or Androvich. The guy who was busted in the pedo ring the other day in the US; he's a russian israeli or israeli russian. People really do sleep on the ties between the two.
RoutemasterFlash
You don't know much about the UK if you think it's "not a great place to do business because of regulation and taxes." We're arguably the world's biggest meta-tax-haven, since so many tax havens are UK crown dependencies.

And there are all kinds of ways that high-earning people and major businesses who are based here avoid tax.

If there is one thing I have learned is that Americans DO NOT learn.
IchtacaSebonhera
Hard to learn with a sabotaged education system. Not impossible, but definitely much harder.
EroticZombiePants
A sabotaged education system only hinders people from learning something in the first place. It doesn't hinder people learning from their mistakes, and much of America still doesn't do that.
TheLastSpaceman
Please don't blame the whole thing on "sabotaged education". That's not the core issue. You don't learn common sense in school. Ignorance is taught in America. Ignorance is rewarded in America. Americans don't learn because they don't want to learn. Countries with lesser education has smarter kids than your average adult in America. Recuoed NRA bs after every mass shooting wouldn't work otherwise. Between Jan and Feb of 2024 there was 147 mass shooting.

G0MeatCube
The core issue is still the education system and what is taught AND PROGRAMMED into our children at a young age couple that with the fact the govt is painted to look like a boogeyman to its own people, the govt is scary to its own people. The incentive to learn about the corruption and trying to fix it will reward you with a suicide with 2 shots to the back of your head.
IchtacaSebonhera
You don't learn common sense in school, but you learn deduction in school. You learn social reading in school. There are many skills you learn that do help you with more adult concepts, like reasoning, and information gathering, that are critical in becoming a discerning person.

Nope. Public school actually slows those things down.
