19. "If you're listening, Russia..."

... Remember Trump saying the quiet part out loud during his 2016 campaign? He knew damned well they WERE listening, because he's been a Russian asset for 30 years. He is the REAL Manchurian Candidate.
And still is, though no one seems to have the cojones to call him out on it. The dots are big and bold and easy to connect. So, say it with me:

TRUMP IS A TRAITOR AND EVERYTHING HE SAYS AND DOES IS AT THE BEHEST, AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF, VLADIMIR PUTIN!

Once more, with feeling and four-part harmony.
