    I'm sure I buy the idea that "Trump must be innocent because he keeps acting so guilty all the time."https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/1018890646227247105 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    One difficulty with the "Trump is a Russian asset" theory is that you would expect a real Russian asset to pretend he isn't one publicly while quietly pursuing pro-Russian policies behind the scenes; Trump has basically done the reverse.

        The key problem with the Russia story remains that there's no way Putin would acquire so idiotic an asset as Trump.

        I'm open to all possibilities these days. Just saying he's a pretty weird asset if he's an asset.

        if you add in trump's neurosis' then he could still be an asset and I don't even think he is, this is a dumb defense

        You're going to feel pretty silly when Marco Rubio wins every primary.

        You can take this to the next level and say that Trump is acting guilty because someone who is guilty wouldn't act guilty.

        @DouthatNYT Trump's behavior seems to lower the likelihood he's an asset and increase the likelihood Russia backs him because while he may sometimes make things more difficult for them, he's a reliable agent of chaos.

        Yeah, like Germany sending Lenin in the sealed train. But agents of chaos end up unpredictable.

        I don't think this holds water. a) you have to work with what you've got, not what you'd like to have, and b) if what you've got is a guileless loudmouth with no impulse control then they're going to behave exactly like Trump.
