Why do you think they made up that theory?


So do you think Trump was a puppet of Russia too?


No. I think he or possibly his underlings were more than willing to accept Russian help with little regard for legality, and Russia had their own reasons (personal hatred for Hillary Clinton by Putin, sanctions, etc.) for preferring Trump.

I think Trump would like to be Putin and to re-make America as a Russian-style gangster state with himself and his family as mafia dons. He's not Putin's puppet and has no loyalty to him. Trump is too narcissistic to (consciously) be anyone's puppet.

BTW I also think Trump has no special loyalty to the alt-right types he rode into office and would toss them under the bus as well (as he did with Bannon). Trump has no beliefs except winning and amassing power and money. He'd flip to far-left socialism in a day if he thought it would be a better route to power.

Just my opinion for what it's worth.
