Trump's Second Term

The allegations that trump is and has been a "Russian asset" just won't go away. Snopes recently published an article which noted, the allegations have been long-running but have never been proven. From that article:
In February 2025, Alnur Mussayev, a former Soviet and Kazakh security official, claimed in a Facebook post that U.S. President Donald Trump was recruited in 1987 by the KGB, the intelligence agency of the Soviet Union, and assigned the code name "Krasnov." Mussayev's post didn't state whether he personally recruited Trump or simply knew about the recruitment, nor did it state whether Trump actively participated in espionage or was just a potential asset...Mussayev's allegations that Trump was recruited by the KGB at that time don't line up with Mussayev's documented career path. Several biographies of him on Russian-language websites suggest that at the time Trump was supposedly recruited, Mussayev was working in the Soviet Union's Ministry of Internal Affairs, not the KGB.

Trump's pro-Russia stance (compared with other U.S. presidents) has fed into past allegations that he is a Russian asset — for instance, the 2021 book "American Kompromat" featured an interview with a former KGB spy who also claimed the agency recruited Trump as an asset. Again, however, there is no clear evidence supporting this claim.

I personally don't have an opinion either way. But what I really find astonishing is, the allegations are and have been under serious consideration. Think about that. An American president possibly a secret Russian asset. WTAF??? What is this guy doing in the White House? What has happened to this country that we 'may' have a Russian asset serving as our president. And for a lot of people, including the Republican Party, that's 'okay.'

One circumstance that feeds into it is, trump is so completely unlike ANY president we've ever had. As a former Boss of mine used to like to say:

What's wrong with this picture?
 
The DNS records for PubMed, the archive of medical research, maintained, I believe, by NIH, have been deleted. This is vital information used by medical professionals worldwide.
 
Dr Jan Halper-Hayes, former adviser to Trump says Putin was 'legally wrong' to invade Ukraine but refuses to say he was 'morally wrong' before hanging up on Lewis Goodall on LBC.
 
As John Bolton recently said, "I would just say this. It's not the personality of Donald Trump that's the problem. It's his lack of competence to do the job."

i think there’s an alarming amount of evidence that russia has an alarming amount of influence over an alarming number of figures in the republican party. and conservative media and key political organizations pushing a russian agenda, like the nra

this evidence is what helped form my personal opinion on this, which you can guess. of course i’d be open to the contrary but this stuff is hard not to notice and even harder to ignore for me.

You had trouble because the DNS records have been removed. The site is still there, for now, but this is apparently exactly how they went about taking down the USAID sites. Too early to say if that is what's happening, or there's an unrelated issue with DNS.

Whether or not he is an official asset to Russia doesn't matter so much because for all practicality, he is doing everything Putin wants. He acts like a Russian asset, he speaks like a Russian asset and in all other ways is just like a Russian asset.

To the point where Trump's own national security head at the end of the first term believed that Putin had blackmail on Trump. My opinion? When one's actions are indistinguishable from that of a hostile foreign asset, it just doesn't matter whether they technically are or not.

That's a tough question. There's too much that could be said. Sorta like trying to do a spot the difference puzzle, but with two completely different pictures with a small similarity here and there.
