@copter_chief@mstdn.party Putin doesn't need to control Trump. Putin just needed a compromised, pedophile, fraudster, racist, xenophobic, incompetent shithead in control of the USA... Then just wait for him to do whatever it is he would do with practically unlimited power and authority and influence and money. I've started thinking that the end game is having Trump destroy the USA from the inside, and once America is in chaos (or civil war) then he's going to set his sights on invading Europe to rebuild the USSR. @randahl@mastodon.social
