I agree with this. There was historical evidence like Trump traveling to Russia in the 1980s and buying a huge, very expensive anti-NATO ad in a newspaper after he returned.

Then, like Epstein, he had many Russian contacts who sometimes "overpaid" for some of his real estate.

But overall: He was always against Russia's "friend" Iran, delivered Javelins to Ukraine during his first term. He cancelled the INF treaty.

The "row" with Zelensky in the White House was theater. In the full footage Trump winks at Zelesnky before kicking him out and Zelensky smiles and puts a thumb up.

Ukraine support is by no means halted. The EU is forced to pay more for the US proxy war, but the US still plans and decides.

Then he attacked Iran, Russia's ally.

So watch what he does and not what he says. You could also say that his Russia friendliness was a cover for the real plans.
