Even if you’ve never seen The Manchurian Candidate, you know the basic plot: a powerful American political figure is secretly controlled by a hostile foreign power.
Now, let me pose this to you.. if Donald Trump were a completely compromised foreign asset, what exactly would he be doing differently?
Because the hypothetical enemy wish list would look something like this:
— Surrender Afghanistan to the Taliban
— Capitulate to Iran after exhausing our munitions
— Grovel before Russia
— Back down from China
— Attack NATO and weaken America’s alliances
— Turn Americans against one another
— Undermine the courts, the press, elections and federal institutions
— Gut environmental protections
— Damage the economy with reckless tariffs
— Treat the federal treasury like a personal rewards program
It’s the perfect two-front attack: weaken America abroad while dismantling it from within.
Maybe he isn’t the Manchurian Candidate or maybe he is. But even if he isn't our foreign adversaries are simply watching him work and wondering why they ever bothered hiring spies.
