In reply to the discussion: F.B.I. Opened Inquiry Into Whether Trump Was Secretly Working on Behalf of Russia [View all]olegramps
(8,200 posts)Perhaps his motivation is not treasonous but driven by his insane greed. He wanted to build a hotel in Moscow and was going to sweeten the pot with an apartment for Putin. I don't believe that he can stand to lose and will go to any extent to get his way. However, even though his actions could be seriously damaging to the country he will discount them in his quest. He is a totally unprincipled man and a disgusting example of a amoral cretin. He gained the presidency by exploiting racism and demagoguery making promises only gullible people feed a steady diet of hate broadcast could believe.
The Republican Party long ago lost it moral balance when it sold it soul to the hate radio propagandists giving silent assent to their lies to gain office. The party is now owned by the extremists and their own survival is dependent on dong their bidding. This was aptly demonstrated when Trump withdrew his agreement to compromise on his ridiculous wall and caved into their howling protestations. McCain was a lone voice in his rejection of the slander of President Obama that he was not an American citizen and a secret Muslim. Trump seized it and it paved his way to the presidency along with asinine promises that he was going to turn back the clock against automation and a global economy.
