“[Trump] is being played. And he's being played like other presidents have been played, like other leaders have been played, through that same playbook of Putin's,” says H.R. McMaster, the president’s former national security adviser.

This guy's half-ASSED too.
Listen to him try to lump trump in with other presidents.
Probably trying to cover trump because of his own weakness and ineffectiveness.
With all due respect the way Trump is being played is *NOT* like other presidents have been played. At all. What is happening with Trump is a very different and extremely more dangerous thing.
I’m puzzled why he is trying to make this seem typical.
This is a republican thinking they are speaking up and being brave when it comes to Russian asset Donald Trump. They are showing us what cowards they really are.
My thought when I heard it was that he’s playing to Trump - he knows Trump well - if Trump thinks that he AND other presidents were misled, he may be more inclined to consider the possibility. If it was only him, he would automatically reject the thought. I don’t think it’ll work but why not try it?
other presidents are not convicted, felons, other presidents have not stolen top-secret documents, and kept them in their bathroom, other presidents are not Russian assets and indebted to Vladimir Putin. Stop both sizing this! There is no comparison to Russian asset Donald Trump! He is a traitor!
You forgot to mention that trump tried to extort President Zelensky by basing aid on the demand Zelensky lie and accuse Hunter Biden of wrong doing. Trump ended up destroying the career of whistleblower former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch. He was impeached for that.
He’s not being played he knows exactly what he’s doing!!!.. Stop making excuses for him and him BS!!!.. Time to say what it is and tell the fcking truth about him!.. out Loud!!!!!
Trump is much easier to play. Previous occupants of the WH were much more interested in the creating and maintaining a stable world. Trump is much more isolationist and interested in what he perceives to be short term "wins" for himself and talking points.
All that is true… but/and He’s not being “played”…… he KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING!!!
I said it and will continue to say it!.. All other explanations are BS in my opinion!. This is why we are in the situation we are today … not seeing what is really happening and explaining it all to oblivion!.
exactly Jess56.
they’ve been saying ‘he’s being played’ for quite a while now, trying to downplay it, but why?
he (poTus) is all-in w/dictators.
it’s time for all of us Americans to believe what they see and hear without hesitation, or maybes or dilution of the obvious.
Hard to disagree with you when I read the following.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to halt offensive cyber operations and information operations against Russia, a U.S. official familiar with the matter said.
Putin may have TRIED to use the same playbook on other presidents and leaders, but they were intelligent. This felon in the white house is ignorant, without morals, lack of good judgement and just gullible to think that Putin will not throw him under the bus when he is no longer needed.
Putin isn’t playing Trump, he’s running Trump. More than one former KGB agent has described how they started cultivating Trump as an asset decades ago. The most recent KGB officer to speak of this was Alnur Mussayev:
It was well known that wealthy Russian oligarchs paid millions for apartments in Trump Tower — classic money laundering. Trump bought hundreds of TVs for his Grand Hyatt project from a Russian “talent spotter”/mobster.
