Anyone have an archive link? Gonna go digging for it. Hopefully it's fake or inaccurate, I'd prefer the people up top to just be incompetent

Edit: seems fake to me. The source is just a Facebook post. I'm gonna be skeptical until we can get more information
I mean, didn't the Mueller report heavily imply he received help from Russia?
Yeah, but here are my thoughts.
There is so much that is actually happening right now and stuff that is still unconfirmed shouldn't distract us. This should be pursued for sure, but until it becomes actionable, we as people not in the press, should focus on stopping what we can.
It has enough predictive power to be useful: if Trump were a wholly owned Russian asset, what would he do? In every single case, using that hypothesis, that's what he has actually done. So his motive is irrelevant, how much he's aware of his being a Russian stooge is irrelevant, but his actions are, and will continue to be, painfully fucking relevant.
Oh I agree, I just think it shouldn't surprise anyone at this point. Anyone with two fucking braincells can see he is in bed with Russia and most assuredly does not have the US or our allies' interests at heart. He's literally sold the entire government to the highest bidder who is actively destroying the entire system without a single shot being fired.

Oh I didn't look at the date, so this is ancient.
Edit: nope I misunderstood. The Facebook post is still recent
