    Hillary called him a Russian puppet to his face.

      “No puppet, no puppet. You’re the puppet!”

        I still don’t understand how that exchange didn’t end his political career. He had said a lot of stupid shit up to that point, but that was when I distinctly remember thinking “this guy is like a 4 year old child who’s been caught red-handed.”

          You could say that about almost every notable remark in his political career.

          Some white folks decided the momentary getting away with saying the N-Word was worth voting for a raging moron instead of a boring candidate

    Did you mean “on something” or “unto something”? Vastly different meanings.

    Franc tireur is an absolute piece of crap, but even a broken clock it right twice a day I guess.

    I don’t think so. I don’t think Trump has any allegiances to anyone but himself. He’ll only go along with what Putin wants so long as it serves Trump. That’s awful, of course, but he’s not a puppet.

      You’re very wrong.

      That’s fine, I’m just saying, his connections and the naked influencing are very well documented. How Much he’s a puppet in terms of what he may or may not “believe” versus what he’s told to do is a question. But that he is - for various political topics - directed, there’s no doubt.

      Example: Ukraine

      That is probably exactly how he sees it, yes. Unfortunately for him, Putin is actually quite competent at manipulation
