If Trump were a Russian asset, tasked with destroying America from the inside…what would he be doing differently than what he’s actually done since Jan 20th?

Let’s walk through it (THREAD 🧵).

✅ Undermine alliances

A Russian asset would sow doubt about NATO’s security guarantees in an effort to weaken and undermine the alliance [one of Putin’s primary goals].

Trump has waffled on Article 5, threatened to abandon allies and called them “delinquent.”

✅ Ease pressure on Moscow

A Russian asset would block new sanctions and weaken enforcement.

Trump has frozen new Russia sanctions for months. He had Hegseth freeze military aid to Ukraine. And he’s stressed the importance of “getting back to business” with Russia.

✅ Legitimize Putin on U.S. soil

A Russian asset would normalize and legitimize Putin.

Trump literally rolled out the red carpet for Putin in Alaska, HUGGED him, APPLAUDED him, and even had the White House lunch menu refer to him as “His Excellency.”

✅ Keep Russian energy cash flowing

A Russian asset would carve out lifelines for oil and gas.

Trump has continually made Russia exempt from all tariffs and trade restrictions; and extended Treasury licenses to keep Russian energy transactions going.

✅ Hobble Ukraine

A Russian asset would perpetually strive to weaken Kyiv and embolden Moscow.

Trump has praised Putin; attacked Zelensky; “both-sides’d” the war, blamed Ukraine for “starting it,” and even called it “Biden’s war” — refusing to place A SHRED OF blame on Russia.

✅ Purge Russia experts from our intelligence agencies

A Russian asset would cripple U.S. intel on Moscow.

Trump appointed a Russian agent as director of National Intelligence; fired the CIA’s top Russia hand; revoked 37 clearances; and even exposed a covert officer in a memo.

✅ Continue to deny past Russian attacks on America

A Russian asset would keep parroting Kremlin propaganda re: the “Russia Russia Russia hoax” (not a hoax)

Trump has done this incessantly and even had Gabbard claim that Obama “committed treason” for investigating the attacks.

✅ Normalize domestic terrorism

A Russian asset would embolden terrorists & weaken our law enforcement agencies.

Trump granted blanket clemency to 1,500+ J6 rioters, put traitors in charge of the FBI and DOJ, and is now planning to honor Ashli Babbitt with a military funeral.

✅ Capture independent institutions.

A Russian asset would neuter central banks, state media, and the judiciary.

Trump has tried to force out Jerome Powell, fire a Fed governor, purge the Voice of America, and stacked SCOTUS and the federal bench with corrupt loyalist judges.

✅ Cripple public health

A Russian asset would sabotage American’s healthcare and weaken disease response.

Trump put an anti-vax nut in charge of HHS, then fired the CDC director mid-crisis, triggering mass resignations. And his big ugly bill kicks millions off Medicaid.

✅ Destroy the economy

A Russian asset would tank U.S. growth with tariffs and trade wars.

Trump’s tariffs have raised costs by $2,400–$3,800 per household every year, shrank GDP, killed jobs, decimated farmers/agriculture, and shuttered businesses across America.

✅ Deploy the military against Americans

A Russian asset would inflame divisions by sending federal military forces into U.S. cities.

Trump has dispatched the National Guard into multiple Democrat-run cities under the guise of “reducing crime” and “maintaining law and order.”

✅ Purge the military of leaders loyal to America

A Russian asset would weaken America’s command structure and elevate Kremlin-friendly loyalists.

Trump has purged generals via Pete Hegseth, installed Tulsi Gabbard as DNI, and stacked pro-Kremlin plants across government.

✅ Hollow out federal agencies

A Russian asset would gut our govt’s capacity to serve its people & project influence abroad.

Trump’s DOGE cronies decimated the civil service, the VA, FDA, USAID — crippling vets care, food & drug safety & eliminating America’s soft power abroad.
