12. I think Trump's plan was to keep the Trump Tower Moscow deal secret...

Then, if he did not win the election, which he did not think he would win, then he would go back to negotiating the "deal". The Deutsch Bank turned down his request for a loan in early 2016, I think it has been reported? Was that loan meant to be for the Tower?

Regardless, Trump kept kissing Putin's ass. He would never say a harsh word against him. At least, Putin was a "great leader", unlike Obama.

I think the Russians, and Putin, saw an opportunity to exploit the divisions within our country to our detriment and to their benefit. They saw Trump as the vehicle to accomplish that.

Trump did not disappoint. Everything he talked about was for the benefit of Russia, and himself. From NATO to Syria, he did whatever Putin wanted him to do.

He was Putin's puppet.

He is still Putin's puppet.
