Reddit: Russia was cultivating trumpf for 55555000 years OML
Reality: Trump was one of the many ghouls who participated in the collective destruction of my homeland, profiting from the privatization of the soviet economy, and is responsible for the death and suffering of millions of soviet citizens. He visits moscow and some sellout ex-KGB is like lmao yeah lemme earn some money and look at that he is totally an asset FUCKING I WANT TO DIE
If this narrative was actually true/provable, then US intelligence agencies would immediately give the evidence (or manufacture simulacra) for the media to play. One mafia doesn't let another mafia invade its turf. Instead, we have a bunch of con artists meeting a bunch of others and promising each other hot air, plus rumors of a piss tape.
All this amounts to is "there's criminal corruption in the US and Russia, ergo Trump serves Putin". QAnon for libs is accurate.
