I genuinely believe that Trump is a puppet of Putin, and I also genuinely believe Trump himself has no idea. When shown the actual numbers of deaths of Americans due to COVID, in that Aussie interview last week, he was genuinely flummoxed for a moment. I believe he had never seen that information. His aides don't tell him anything he doesn't want to hear, and only tell him good news. ALL of his aides and family are completely compromised by Russia and China, however. So the ONLY information Trump acts on (outside of Fox News) is the bad information, fed to his closest team, by the Russian operatives running them. I don't think Trump has any idea that he is completely under Putin's thumb. Seriously.
