All of trump's moves are 3 degrees of separation from Putin. Kevin Bacon should be jealous.

The new EU tariffs are more evidence trump is a Russian asset. All of his moves seem to be 3 or less degrees of separation from Putin. The European tariffs hurt those countries and effect their economies negatively. trump could be feinting naivete by imposing there tariffs and claiming they help the US because we collect tariff money when in actuality they are really a tax on US consumers who buy the European goods. Is trump really so stupid that he believes we're collecting money from tariffs or is i an act and he is being instructed by Putin?

All this of course causes disruption and discord here and in Europe—Putin's goal.

Same with China tariffs but with even more negative effect as China exports much more goods to the US with that much more disruption of our economy and cost to consumers.

The Ukraine situation benefits Russia also as trump delays the military aid to Ukraine which allows Putin's forces to dig in even further into eastern Ukraine thus making it harder to dislodge them. Now trump is publicly pushing for Ukraine to negotiate a settlement with Putin that will allow the provinces in eastern Ukraine a near autonomous status to the Russian-occupied region, plus Russia gets to keep Crimea and it's seaport. Putin wins again.

trump has Pompeo an Barr traveling the world to twist the amrs of several governments to help gin up "information" that the 2016 election interference really came from a Crowd Strike computer located in Ukraine, not Russia. Thus Putin wins again and can be re-admitted to the G8.

Imo trump is working for Putin, not the US.
