How much of Trump's shit show @ the NATO summit* is because he works for Putin?

“Trump holds 90-minute call with Putin, also speaks with Zelenskyy ahead of NATO summit”

https://www.nbcnews.com/world/ukraine/trump-holds-90-minute-call-putin-speaks-zelenskyy-ahead-nato-summit-rcna353010

Trump had a 90 minute chat with a Putin who is an enemy of America and Western Democracies on
the 4th of July. He is a Russian asset. End of story.

* Trump got into a pissing match with Spain, Denmark, and NATO. He is stark raving mad. Apparently
he was wondering around on the airport tarmac Turkey’s Erdoğan had to lead him back to where he
he was supposed to be and he confused Iran with Japan and Putin with Zelenskyy.

There you go, Ken Martin, a counter to the communist accusation. Consider that in lieu of the $35 contribution you're always asking for. Maybe you could hire a real marketing company?

Who can't do anything but lie, cheat, and steal and is bluffing his way through a disastrous presidency which is sinking the US.

I can't imagine what our former allies think about him. It is probably worse than we think, though, and we think he's worthless dogshit.

The other half is the usual stream of incoherent rambling served between two slices of accelerating cognitive decline. Whether he's owned by Moscow is anyone's guess, but he sure talked at NATO like he's auditioning for the job.

Putin was paying the Taliban 100 K for every American serviceman they killed in Afghanistan. He is
a traitor to America. The KGB were correct for giving him the name Krasnov who was a famous
traitor to the USSR.
