When Trump is Finally Revealed as an Agent of Foreign Governments - Will America Wake Up?

When Trump is Finally Revealed as an Agent of Foreign Governments - Will America Wake Up? by Thom Hartmann

Though had I written the title the last part probably would've read, "wake the FUCK up". Anyway, the story can also be found on Rawstory and MSN.com (I think... MSN won't load on my primary browser for some reason)

Excerpts (boldened texts highlighted by me):

It’s time to tell the truth about Trump: he’s been an agent of organized crime and foreign governments for decades. And he’s continuing his work for Putin, Xi, Erdogan, and MBS — undermining Americans’ faith in democracy — to this day.

Trump’s 2016 Campaign Manager Paul Manafort, after all, just last month admitted that during the 2016 election he was handing secret campaign polling and strategy information off to Russian intelligence, presumably so they could successfully use it to micro-target vulnerable voters via Facebook and other social media in swing states.

Trump also sucked up to arguably the wealthiest oligarch in the world, Saudi Arabia’s Mohammad bin Salman. Breaking with the tradition of American presidents first visiting close allies among democratic nations, Trump’s first foreign trip was to Saudi Arabia, and the kingdom later gifted his family with $2 billion.

It’s still unknown if or how much money they might’ve transferred directly to Trump himself via one of his offshore accounts. Because Saudi Arabia is a police state, and Trump is really good at hiding his money after a lifetime of working with organized crime, we’ll probably never know.

2. "America" already has "woken up"

Nothing will dissuade his followers. All that's left of the GOP are the die-hard trumpists and billionaires of the parasite class. But the media can't help itself because HEY!! LOOK WHAT HE SAID!! IT'S OUTRAGEOUS!! CLICK HERE!! LISTEN TO/WATCH OUR SHOW (ADS!!) RATINGS!!!

The gerrymandered house GOP districts are locked into trumpist loyalists because those are the only ones who can vote in those primaries. Other than that, trump has no chance to win anything. Unlike 2016, trump is a well-known quantity now. But the media will still let trump suck all the oxygen out of the news. They'll get their horse race even if they have to manufacture it out of whole cloth.

3. He's the number 1 money launderer. IMO

Musk catching up.
He always was.
Pretty damn obvious.

I guess others are slow to get the memo.

4. Of course not.

We Democrats knew that and weren't fooled by psuedo-populists.

6. They sure WILL

and Thom Hartmann and others (such as myself) have cause to wonder whether America (or enough Americans) and fully cognizant of the threat Trump and his MAGAts pose to our democracy.

We'd be SORELY remiss in thinking that THEY couldn't possibly win.
