Well, DUH!
There's a Strong Chance Trump Is "Russian Asset"
 Elon Musk's AI Chatbot, GROK Says there's a 75% – 85% chance that is the case. But didn't we already suspect? And what do we do with traitors?
In an opinion article published on Wednesday, Arizona Republic columnist EJ Montini wrote that Grok concluded there was a 75 percent to 85 percent chance that Trump was a Russian spy when asked the following question:
"What is the likelihood from 1-100 that Trump is a Putin-compromised asset? Use all publicly available information from 1980 on and his failure to ever say anything negative about Putin but has no issue attacking allies."
Newsweek asked Grok the same question multiple times on Wednesday and received similar answers, with the AI bot's upper number shifting upward to a 90 percent chance at one point.
"I estimate a 75-85% likelihood that Trump is a Putin-compromised asset, leaning toward the higher end (around 85%) due to the cumulative weight of historical patterns, financial incentives, and his unwavering refusal to challenge Putin," Grok stated.
The chatbot indicated that its conclusion was based on "three pillars" of information, including Trump's "extensive financial ties" to Russia, "intelligence suggesting Russian intent" and "Trump's behavioral consistency—never criticizing Putin while attacking allies."
"The 'useful idiot' scenario, where Trump's ego and debts make him unwittingly pliable, fits the pattern as much as deliberate collusion might," it continued.
Grok also concluded that Trump was 85 percent likely to be a Russian asset when simply asked if the president was "a Russian asset" without any qualifiers.
"If I had to put a number on it, I'd say 85 out of 100," Musk's AI tool stated. "That's not proof beyond a reasonable doubt, but it's way past coincidence. You'd be naive to dismiss it outright."

I wonder how it would answer if it was asked, "Is Elon Musk a Russian asset?"

Can We All Agree
Who Thought It Was So Easy To Destroy A Country In Only Six Weeks?
Recruited?
From Greg Fallis:
Over the last couple of days I've seen a few social media posts and online articles repeating a claim made by Alnur Mussayev, the former head of Kazakhstan's National Security Committee. In the British tabloid The Mirror, Mussayev wrote: "In 1987, our directorate recruited Donald Trump under the pseudonym Krasnov."
I don't believe that. I simply don't believe Comrade Donald Trump was recruited to be a Russian intelligence agent. Part of my objection is semantic; recruitment involves getting folks to enlist–which literally means to sign your name on a list. I don't believe ANY intelligence services in ANY nation would consider enlisting Trump as an intelligence agent. He's not qualified to be an agent. He simply doesn't have the skills, the temperament, or intelligence to be an agent.

On the other hand, he's an ideal intelligence asset. An asset is just a person (or a thing) that can be used to gather or disseminate information that might be useful to an intelligence service. An ideal human intelligence asset is somebody who is 1) easily manipulated through intimidation or flattery, 2) gullible and/or ignorant, 3) vulnerable to various forms of kompromat, 4) impulsive, 5) immoral or amoral, and 6) has access to useful information and/or can serve as a conduit for misinformation/disinformation. As an intelligence asset, Comrade Trump is a whole protein–he contains all the essential ingredients.
I totally believe Trump has been a Russian intelligence asset for decades. I absolutely believe Trump has knowingly served Russian geo-political interests. It's indisputable that Russia engaged in coordinated disinformation campaigns to help get Trump elected, both in 2016 and in 2024. Back in 2021, The Guardian published a report stating the newspaper had possession of a Kremlin report of a 2016 meeting between Putin and his senior intelligence ministers outlining an intelligence operation to help Trump become POTUS. They felt electing Trump (who is described as an "impulsive, mentally unstable and unbalanced individual who suffers from an inferiority complex") would "definitely lead to the destabilisation of the US's sociopolitical system."
And hey, bingo. Look at us now. You know Vlad Putin is a happy boy.
Even before his 2016 election, Trump was promoting Russian interests. Remember, when candidate Trump's team established the GOP party platform for the 2016 election, the ONLY change they made was to weaken support for Ukraine's defense. The original GOP platform promised to "provide lethal defensive weapons to the Ukrainian government" in response to Russia's invasion of Crimea and their ongoing attempt to militarily annex the Donbas region. Trump's people had that strong anti-Russia language removed (at the insistence of Paul Manafort, who was Trump's campaign manager at the time AND who, according to the Mueller Report, made at least US$75 million for supporting Russian interests in Ukraine).
Now that he's been re-elected, Trump is more openly supporting Russia and Russian interests. He may not have actually been recruited as an agent back in the 1980s, but there's little doubt that he has now enlisted in the service of Russia.
If This Was Going To Happen It Would've Happened Already
Quote of the Day
He doesn't have to be compromised by Putin. He's on Putin's side. He's his friend. Hes his fan. He loves Putin. He loves the things that Putin represents — authoritarianism, the entire ugly corrupt Russian power structure. Donald Trump looks at it and says give me some of that. They could have taped Donald Trump fucking a goat – it wouldn't matter. He'd be Vladimir Putin's best buddy no matter what. So as the idea of a conspiracy to explain Trump's behavior it fails the Occam's razor test. Trump is an authoritarian asshole. He's going to love other authoritarians. It's almost definitional." ~ Rick Wilson
Fuck BOTH of Them!

Donald Trump Was The Greatest American President Russia Ever Had
FACT: Donald Trump was the greatest American president Russia ever had.
All those phone calls to Putin both during and after he was president, prove he is so enamored of this evil man, that he really has been a willing "useful idiot."
What's scary is that Trump wants to be the American Putin, and so many of my fellow citizens are so ignorant (or enamored of authoritarians) themselves that they are willing to give their vote to someone who will take away the very liberty they claim to prize so much.
And once our freedom is gone, once our votes don't count, it could take decades to reverse the damage.
VOTE BLUE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. BECAUSE IT DOES.
I Was Thinking the Same Thing
Private citizens are forbidden under the federal Logan Act from engaging in foreign policy, undercutting America. So why did private citizen Donald Trump have at least SEVEN one on one phone calls with Putin since he left the White House (in which time Putin invaded Ukraine)? – The Lincoln Project
