I would question whether Trump is getting outplayed by Putin, or does Trump love the idea of ruling over a Mafia State and kleptocracy without any oversight or constraints. He wants to be in that club of all powerful rulers where the best interests of our country be damned.
Trump is both weak and greedy. His desire to be liked by powerful people coupled with his gullibility that these wealthy people will make him wealthy makes him easy to manipulate. Putin has had his number for decades. Putin enlisted musk, who is much like trump, to bankroll this manipulation.
All for a country that is defunct they have no real power they have lost major soldiers and their military capacity is weak? But they weild nuclear power that scares people
If the SCOTUS does wind up whoring itself out to Trump (yet again) and rules that courts don't have the jurisdiction to block a president's executive order, STOP paying your student loans immediately - you know longer owe them. If courts can't block Trump's executive orders they can't block Biden's!
I was born in the early sixties. I grew up in fear of nuclear war. Russia (USSR) was the enemy. People were trapped behind the iron curtain. That boggled my mind as a teenager. How is Trump negating all those years?
I really enjoyed this piece. Is it possible to do one on the administration and Musk/peers to push global privatization, maximum deregulation, increased monetization of info (ie., NWS vs. ACCU weather, prisons, etc.), extreme control power in exec branch to make it happen?
And to think all we need is a handful of Republicans who could stop all of this, but Republicans have been indulgent to the racist, misogynist, theocratic, corrupt liars in their party since Reagan and have been consumed by them. Shame on them all.
And yet somehow he always comes out on top. That deal with the devil he told me about.....I thought he was just messing with me......maybe the Pope is right 😱
Of course! Putin had no respect for Trump and Trump, with love in his eyes, is not what enough to see that. Hell, when they were in the same room, you can read their feelings on both their faces!

Very well played.
What is US Administration’s long game? Is there one or are they really just stupid?
Trump is collaborating with Putin.
When you assess what Putin wants, your discovering what Trump wants as well.
