From Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/Intelligence/comments/1j1pmmg/trump_seems_compromised_but/

Trump isn't a chinese or russian agent, he's their "indirect" asset because he's a mafia subboss whose decisions and relationships are purely transactional, so he's easy to take advantage of.

Look at what happened with TikTok as the key to understand everything that has happened. Trump waged war against it for years during his first term, but when he was "made aware" that TikTok helped him win the elections, he did a 180 on it and now is their biggest fan, he'll protect that app until he's dead. He has admitted this is exactly what happened, so this is the correct reading.

You can apply that to Russia's desinfo network as well. Once he was "made aware" that Russia's troll farms helped him win the elections in 2016 (and almost in 2020, then once again in 2024) he's their biggest fan. Trump even pandered to them ("but her emails") and the russians delivered (both RNC / DNC were hacked, but only DNC got leaked. It's also well known that Trump has had business with several russian oligarchs and that they have bailed him out on numerous occasions. Trump is both dependent and reliant on them.

This means that not only he's very predictable and simple, life experience is zero beyond reality TV and he's getting old / senile, so these defects will only grow as time runs. You can manipulate him easily if you have the power to sway things in a way he believes favours him and the stomach to be a simp. This is also why Trump has surrounded himself with sycopanths who fall all over themselves to kiss his ring, he loves boot lickers who'll do everything for him.

It's around Trump that you'll find the foreign agents (Tulsi Gabbard). They know all of this that I've written here, plus they have the stomach to grovel to Trump to achieve their handler's goals. It's also where you'll find the ones compromised by blackmail (Ted Cruz) or by power (Marco Rubio). I give you these examples which are the most obvious, but you can do this exercise to other people Trump surrounds himself with, and guess estimate fairly well (Musk is both a foreign agent as well as compromised by power, Zuckerberg and Bezos are just compromised by power, the grifters like Kennedy fall into this category as well, just switch power with money and it's the same, etc).

Personally I believe they have Kompromat on him since the 80’s. That doesn’t mean they necessarily have total power over him, particularly if everyone in his administration is now compromised indirectly.

One thing is sure: Trump is extremely vulnerable to flattery. That is just plain obvious. And he so shallow, he cares more about appearances than reality. Which makes manipulating him quite easy. Even without the resources and training. Imagine what you can do WITH the proper resources

Add that to his connections to Russian mob oligarchists through his real estate dealings and you have your answer.

He’s not a Russian asset. He’s a useful idiot.

I mean, he's an asset to Russia but as someone else said they would never employ someone that fucking stupid and malleable.

This isn’t about Zionists or conspiracies, it’s about documented actions and who benefits from them. Gabbard chose to meet with Assad, a known war criminal, without proper diplomatic oversight. That’s not an "attack," that’s a fact.

She has publicly denied the existence of political prisons in Syria, only for Kurdish forces to later liberate multiple detention sites full of political prisoners Assad had locked away. That means she was either willfully ignorant or knowingly misleading people. Neither option looks good.

If she was merely misinformed, why didn’t she correct the record once the truth came out? And why does her rhetoric consistently align with regimes hostile to U.S. interests, whether it’s Assad, Russia, or India’s far-right nationalists?

If she’s not a foreign asset, she’s at the very least a willing amplifier of foreign narratives that just happen to serve authoritarian regimes. Either way, she’s compromised, and Assad didn’t bring her into that room for nothing.

I categorically believe that Trump is not to be trusted. Having said that, much of the criticism leveled against Gabbard in previous years was almost laughable. One can not be against American 'interests', when its American foreign policy that undermines the nations long term well-being and prosperity. The Iraq war was an unmitigated disaster, by the American establishment. The need to constantly intervene and overthrow regimes in the Middle East serves no real US interest and undermines the safety and stability of the region as a whole.

The entire popularity of Gabbard is based on just stating these obvious truths. Its not a foreign narrative, but one that is held by a huge swath of the US voting population. Outside of this critique, she had no political position of any note or value.

Now, part of that was proven to be pure theater by Gabbard. Also, at the same time that she was attacking the 'establishment', she was being supported by that same establishment. During her presidential run, her entire combat experience, ,that she constantly presented as what made her qualified, was being an administrator in a military hospital. That's it. But that was never brought up against her, oddly.

While in congress, she served in the Subcommittee on Intelligence. That's a highly coveted position, not easily assigned. But she was given the opportunity to serve, over people who are more senior.

After that, including meeting with Assad, she was transferred in her National Guard unit into the Army Reserve, serving in both psychological operations and at a support officer overseeing special forces. She was being groomed to bolster her resume and increase her experience in intelligence/special operations.

All of these things happened AFTER meeting with Assad.

Gabbard is an intelligence asset and much of her rhetoric and action is simply cover.

She's been groomed and put into the head of the intel community because she's been an active member of that community for decades. Her anti-war posturing was just that, empty posturing.

If Gabbard is compromised, then why would the Biden administration allow her to get these positions and maintain a top secret security clearance? Well, its because its all part of an operation.

Track Gabbards career, her access, and her current position, and you'll find she's been supported in a 'bi-partisan' manner. That is where the facts will lead you. It can then lead to some further, more troubling set of questions.

Remember that back in 2016 the Russians also hacked the GOP so they likely have kompromat on all of them too.

For Lindsey Graham specifically, as well as other older Republicans, I believe the hack in the GOP system probably gave them some great material concerning Dennis Hastert. He was the Republican speaker of the House for most of the W Bush presidency, and it turned out he was a serial child molester, and he went to prison in 2016 (judge only have him 15 months!) He's the highest ranking US government official to ever go to jail, and my guess is that there was even more dirt on him in the GOP emails. And how other Republicans helped him cover up his crimes, or possibly participated.

I don't think Trump is as witting a collaborator as you suggest, but he's certainly compromised. In other words, he's not a partner with access to kompromat, he's handled. Congress.... GOP national headquarters was purged of all traditional Republicans. It's 100% MAGA now. Congress people are pulled aside and told they'll be primaried by MAGA power and Musk wealth if they don't toe the line. Because of viral disinformation campaigns by Russian Intelligence, most voters in GOP primaries, indeed most voters, are zombies now.

There's two other angles on how Trump and many politicians are compromised. The Russians are a big part of it, but the Israelis and the tech billionaires are another. Like the Russians, the tech billionaires and Israelis have leverage over many politicians, including Trump. Trump wanting to "buy" Gaza and Musk crashing Trump's press conferences and cabinet meetings are obvious examples.

The tech billionaires have access to all their communications, even the stuff they thought was private. They've been datamining them for years, and know all their secrets. They also contribute millions to their campaigns. For example, Peter Theil (Palantir) gave JD Vance $15 million that we know of. Now, it looks like Musk and Theil may be trying to takeover the NSA, giving them even more power.

In the case of Israeli, they do it by buying them off and/or blackmailing them. Epstein's entire operation was a honeypot to get leverage over key political players. That's why the recent Epstein files released by Bondi were so heavily redacted and contained nothing significant that we didn't already know. Trump and many congressmembers' names were hidden behind pages of black ink.

My only question is how are objectives of the Russia, Israel and the tech billionaires so aligned? To what end? What is their common goal?

It's crazy if you remember that Russia supplied Hamas with modern weapons including anti-tank guided systems and that Israel sent it to Ukraine as retaliation.

Because Trump could just find you a nickname and laugh at you in front of his MAGA zombies and then and there your political gravitas would be absolutely destroyed. Thats how he coopts people, Trump forte is that he built a political cult through his social skills. His scariest trait tho is that he doesn’t read briefing notes or even attend intel briefings because he thinks he knows everything.

My take is that foreign adversaries, including the Russians, have been using shell companies and proxies to fund GOP politicians, helping them win elections through dark money PACs. The pols don’t know or care where the money is coming from, but when they go golfing with Trump, he tells them to get in line or lose funding/reelection.
