In reply to the discussion: By the way, Trump is a Russian AGENT [View all]BlueTsunami2018

He’s just likes the trappings of power. I don’t think the Heritage Foundation or the Federalist Society, the Project 2025 people, are Russian agents either. They are basically the John Birchers and their ideological descendants who have been around for decades and have finally found the way to do the things they’ve always wanted to do.
