      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.

          He's an asset in the strictest use of the word. It doesn't require his awareness.

          I’m pretty sure the way a spy becomes successful is by acquiring any and all assets that are available, and THEN deploying them when and if appropriate

          Assests don't need to be smart. They could be too talkative drunks, or say in Trump's case a failson braggert trying to keep up appearances.

          But that’s totally part of the con. Do so much of it broad daylight that it minimizes the perception that it’s so awful.

          The degree to which the GOP has rolled over for Trump wasn’t exactly a shock though. Why not have an imbecile as an asset if you know him outting himself won’t have any impact?

          The thing is that Putin wants to boost the relative status of his own country by degrading that of others. Parading around a senile grandpa as the face of the US furthers this goal.

          So how is it better for the U.S. if Trump is a cultivated asset or a voluntary asset? He is aiding Putin in the effort to sow distrust and discord among the citizens he's supposed to protect.

          Ignores fact that Putin understands Trump to be malignant narcissist and knows joe to manipulate him. Tvkeast Trump is therefore a useful idiot and may in fact now be a willing asset
