7. Re-reading Trump's early remarks with recent reveals of his ties to Russia in mind...

...i.e. assuming he's been Putin's puppet from the start, gives what he said back in 2015 a whole new and scary spin. It's a man running in the primaries, getting on television and telling the world "America is weak, can't help you, a fallen giant, and behind every other country. So stop expecting America to save you..." AND, of course, those speeches undermine the faith Americans have in their own country.

It all becomes very chilling propaganda if it's coming from Russia—or at least with Russia's blessings. Doesn't it?
