    People (… who don’t want to admit that he’s a home-grown disease) love to talk about how Trump is a Russian asset.

    … But like. Have we considered that he is a Chinese asset instead?

    China seems to really benefit from his shenanigans. Everyone is snuggling up to them while the US are fucking about.

      I think he’s most often called a Russian asset because he has multiple apparent connections to the Russian government. Just looking up ‘trump Russian ties’ brings up multiple different articles detailing ties which connect Trump to Putin. It’s not necessarily proven, but the general view in media at least is: if trump is a foreign agent, he’s a Russian one.

      It’s not a speculation. You misunderstood. He openly admits and acts and comments on how he loves his model for government and is going to be a dictator too. It’s not a consideration. He is a lapdog. He is only accidentally also a Chinese asset.
