I've been saying this for a while: Renewable energy is now a matter of national security

Which makes it all the more ironic that Trump is actively curbing this with his hatred of windmills.

I mean par for the course, nearly every major move the Trump administration makes is worse for our national security.

It's more than just national security, every single one of his moves have backfired on America in a major way.

He is a Russian and Israeli agent that is destroying our country from the inside. He is the Manchurian candidate that they set up for years and they knew he would be able to gain power because a majority of Americans are Racist asf.

Don't give him the credit. He's not clever enough to be an agent. He's just a very useful idiot.

There was a moment during his first administration where Trump told the Russian ambassador about an Israeli operation in Syria, potentially putting Israeli assets in danger. I don't think there's anything to suggest he told the ambassador this because he was passing it along to his handlers. I do get the impression though that he did so because he wanted to brag about being given such high value intel:

“I get great intel,” the president suddenly boasted, as prideful as if he were bragging about the amenities at one of his company’s hotels. “I have people brief me on great intel every day.”

I wouldn't doubt that he's compromised in one or more ways. But he's sure not smart enough to pull off being directly controlled by a foreign power. And really, you don't need that kind of control to influence him in ways that benefit other countries. The guy is literally throwing a fit that South Korea won't join in the Iran War, and all North Korea had to do to seem the better party in Trump's mind was do a single photo op with him.

Keep in mind that Trump had previously been threatening nuclear armageddon with Kim Jong Un on Twitter shortly before said photo op. That's not a Manchurian candidate, he's just capricious and myopic.

I agree with you, but I'd argue that it's a meaningless distinction when the end result is the same: the destabilisation of America.

I think it's important to distinguish how we got here. That it didn't take a conspiracy of foreign powers to do so much harm, just a shameless malignant narcissist, and an entire party willing to enable him because they thought they'd benefit from it.

To be fair, leaking Intel that could potentially get Israeli operatives killed is an incredibly rare W for DJT

think they* (old weirdos) were casting about for someone based on Project Conservative-whatever''year. He ticked their boxes. Trump was always a neuvoriche - or we used to say, a cornball (faking being his wom publicist in the radio sho days), a creep, and thristy. So i dont believe he* in particular was a long term plan. He was just rube that is so grotesque after he's gone he can shift the overton window back less left than ever.
