    Trump is literally a foreign agent, working on behalf of China and Russia.

      Don’t forget the Saudis! They’d love to entice Trump with a tacky golf resort in the middle of the desert in exchange for some more environmental deregulation and looking the other way on human rights violations

    • I feel like that’s the case for all the far-right populists around the world. Viktor Orban in Hungary, Erdogan in Turkey, the AfD party in Germany, etc. AfD members of the European parliament literally got caught taking money from the Russian and Chinese intelligence agencies, and in exchange doing some stuff in the parliament.

        Erdoğan doesn’t fit the list in my opinion.

        He’s obviously a right wing stooge that uses religious extremism to his advantage, and I hope his reign ends soon, but he’s only been blocking stuff temporarily to advance his position (to get EU membership for example, or to advance at the borders), but he has been an important ally to Ukraine and NATO during the war.

        I haven’t seen him repeat Russian propaganda at all.

        Correct me if my feeling is wrong though. I didn’t look deeper into it.
