    But when you add Putin into the mix then it all makes sense.

      Yeah, I think this is the correct angle.

      People (e.g. mainstream press) are responding to these events as if Trump were actually trying to accomplish something useful for the US - as if he were well-intentioned but incompetent.

      But (1) Trump is a compulsive liar, so his talk about “Make America Great” should be treated with suspicion, and (2) Trump is owned by foreign interests (Russia, China, Saudi Arabia) who will benefit from the US having weakened international relationships.

      From this point of view, it makes sense that Trump is alienating our allies.

        Trump is a fool who is being used by hostile powers to sabotage the USA and its allies. But he’s also a bitter, vindictive, petty little man who wants to sabotage his country anyway.

        Legit question, why and how is he owned by Russia, China and Saudi Arabia?
