1/6 Everything Trump does starts to make sense—if you assume he’s a russian asset working to sabotage the US and its allies from within.

From foreign policy to domestic chaos, the pattern is hard to ignore

2/6 He’s isolating the US globally:

– Attacked South Korea over defense costs
– Undermined NATO
– Started trade wars with allies
– Blocked cooperation on disinformation with Europe
– Made foreign investment in the US riskier

3/6 He cozies up to adversaries:

– Praised Putin repeatedly
– Sided with russia over US intelligence in Helsinki
– Downplayed russian war crimes in Ukraine
– Cut funding for investigations into child kidnappings by russia

4/6 He’s actively dismantling US institutions:

– Undermined the DOJ, FBI, and intelligence community
– Tried to overturn democratic elections
– Normalized authoritarian rhetoric and tactics
– Spread disinformation from the inside

5/6 He’s sabotaging US leadership:

– Alienated allies
– Disrupted global trade
– Weakened trust in US commitments
– Undermined international cooperation on security and justice

6/6 None of this makes sense from a US national interest perspective.

But if you see Trump as a russian asset—or someone acting like one—it all clicks.

The damage is strategic, not random
