The jerky, halting manner of his spoken word makes me suspicious. It detracts entirely from his credibility. Well-spoken he certainly is not. It perfectly reflects the grinding of gears within his brain as he scrambles to come up with a plausible explanation of Trump's failing policies.

As a ret'd 60 yo🇨🇦 who has had the time+inclination to follow U.S. politics for 30 yrs, Im shocked at its current state.
Been said many times now: if DT *is* a 🇷🇺 asset, he's performing well.

Question is: Who has it? Russia? Israel? The Saudis? China?
