This morning, Mr. Hinderaker professes profound befuddlement — at why Donald Trump might have tweeted so… off-the-chain angrily, that US intelligence sources have recently gone on the record to say that the US has planted malware in the Russian power grid — likely so much “in the open”… that Russia is well-aware of it.
But for this story to make sense, we must note that Trump did not just overreact about the New York Times story on it — he accused an unnamed, and amorphous cast of characters of… “treason.” [It is plain that the US intel folks want Russia to know about this. How can this be “treason” — even assuming Trump did not know about it — and he is not lying, by shedding crocodile tears, here. Big assumption, I know. But the treason would be against… Russia, not the US. It goes without saying that US intel owes no duty of loyalty to… Russia. No… only the US — and with that in mind, Trump’s doesn’t sound… too too crazy.]
That is so, because we must also note that Trump is not smart enough to run a disinformation campaign convincingly.
So, I take it John’s befuddlement is… genuine. I do believe him when he says “he doesn’t get it.”
If John were to accept that — in science, all things being equal — the simplest explanation tends to be the correct one [a la Sir William of Occam]… we should assume… that Trump is mad because he. is. a. Russian. asset.
He’s furious because Vlad Putin has likely back-channeled him, to say he — Vlad — is furious that Trump is reneging on some part of the deal Putin is secretly holding him to — in return for not burying Trump alive, in wave after wave of on video-tape scandals.
That’s it, John — as I’ve said for three years… Trump is bought and paid for — by Russia. And now he senses the Russians are going to call their markers. And ruin him — right at 2020 election time.
C’mon, John — think like a lawyer.
