It was obvious as hell that he wants Russia to win.

All we have to do is make him president elect! We don’t even have to inaugurate him!

You'll get all the Logan act violations you seek if you act now!

[–] Baggins@feddit.uk 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This gets me - if he's that fucking clever then he should have ended it by now. And he says he's good friends with Zelensky, how? Do they go out drinking together? They've probably spoken twice. America should be ashamed of Trump the Liar.

America should be ashamed of Trump the Liar.

Americans capable of feeling shame are. Unfortunately, his base is incapable of feeling shame, so there's no effect there.

They're capable of feeling shame, just not for good reasons. Like, they can feel ashamed of thinking a trans person is hot.

he will allow Russia to win yes, in exchange for favours probably

[–] Halliphax@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Has he not done enough already for that wretched, glorified petrol station they call a country.

[–] FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

He is in a LOT of debt, financially and politically, to Russia. And he also is desperate to win, because if he loses he's going to jail. He'll do anything Putin wants him to

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What makes you think he hasn't already been given the favor years or decades ago and how he's the one repaying it and he'll get nothing in return?

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Mostly the fact that Trump never pays his debts.

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I have to wonder if the potential for accidentally falling out of a window goes any way into affecting the way he approaches certain debts.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

No. If Trump were capable of conceptualizing losing and suffering consequences he wouldn't do half the shit he does.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Can't argue with that one lol

[–] Wooki@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Of course he does, he's a bought man.

[–] margaritox@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yea, what a POS he is for pretty much admitting this. Not that we didn’t know this already.
