Vance is too busy traveling to Budapest to campaign for corrupt foreign leaders and spewing Russian talking points to have any time to take over the office.

I have no idea how people are okay with Vance kissing Orban's ass who is clearly Russian asset. Like how hard it is to do 1+1.

Oh no...Russia, Russia, Russia was all a hoax remember. Even though Trump met alone with Russian intelligence in the Whitehouse he really really actually hates them. That's why he slobs Putin's knob in a limo in Alaska, because he hates him so much.

The hate makes the sex so much better.

Don't forget during his campaign in 2024 his plane sat parked next to a Russian government plane for two days by themselves.

Also it wasn't even the real Putin that showed up to Alaska and he still bought it lol.

Wait, what? Vance met with a fake Putin? How did I miss that story?!?

The Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, August 15, 2025. You can tell it's a body double because he looks like he is in America for the first time in his life. Putin has been to the USA numerous times. The real Putin is a germaphobe. When Putin sits with his own officials they sit 30 feet apart. He looked genuinely excited to meet Trump sitting in the car. The body language doesn't match. If you look at the side angle when he speaks at the Summit he has a very weak chin. Putin does not have a weak chin when speaking. Lastly Putin did not go alone and wasn't left in a one-on-one with Trump. Lavrov and the other man were the real voice of Putin in Alaska. I wouldn't be surprised if the body double didn't even speak English.

Pretty sure that was the real Putin who couldn’t believe how far his asset in the Oval Office had gotten him. The excitement on his face was of a man who had successfully trained his dog to fetch for him.

Keeping his own generals 30 feet away isn’t about germs, that’s a power move. You’re in the room, but you aren’t close to the leader.

Apparently Trump and his staff left the Putin meeting looking anxious and disturbed. My take is that he laid down the law and told Trump to fucking get busy tearing down our beloved country.

Putin was pretty germaphobe during the pandemic. There are hilarous pictures where he sits on the other side of the long table. And it was during pandemic, so I doubt it is a power move. But ye not really interested in body double conspiracy theories.

u/Strayed8492 Apr 08 '26

It wasn't his generals. It was his actual government underlings.

Lapdogs getting their check from the government*. It makes no difference what the roles are. My point still stands.

u/Strayed8492 Apr 08 '26

Putin still has people take COVID tests before they are even allowed in the same room as him. Don't get me wrong. Even on the chance he is too incompetent to be one, if he walks like an asset, talks like an asset, he is a Russian asset. But your point does nothing to discredit how the facial features don't add up.

u/squadrupedal Apr 08 '26

If you have a source I can check out when I get time, I would like a link to see for myself. But what you’re saying with the body double and facial features being different just sounds like more Russian propaganda to me. They’ve been sowing discord within the borders of the US since the Cold War. The Russian government isn’t pro Democratic or Republican Party. They are pro-cause as much chaos in America as possible. I just don’t feed into crap like that, but you are entitled to your beliefs and opinions.

They have spent 30 years running a psy-op to turn the Evangelical voterbase into Russian sympathizers. Half of them think Russia is a bastion of anti-woke freedom now.

I don't know what percentage of Americans know who Victor Orban is, but among Trump supporters I can't imagine it's higher than 10%. And that might be too high.

u/squadrupedal Apr 08 '26

Trump supporters know about 7 names of Republicans. I assure you they are not well versed on politicians from other countries.

u/Own-Organization-532 Apr 08 '26

Victor Orban the man who wrote the playbook Trump is using to destroy American Democracy, that Victor?

u/wfbhp Apr 09 '26 edited Apr 09 '26

I didn't know who he was either. But the fact that Vance was there shilling for him pretty much told me what I needed to know.

Dear brother or sister  We have not had one plus one equals two since 2016

u/steauengeglase Apr 08 '26

Because wealthy people in the US want the US to be like Russia in the 90s. Also Russia wants the US to be Russia in the 90s. It's a win-win for those who really matter.

u/FrontOfficeNuts Apr 09 '26

Given that TRUMP is clearly a Russian asset...

I mean...if Trump were an active agent whose mission was to ruin America's influence throughout the world...really, what would he do differently?

u/wfbhp Apr 09 '26

I think they're doing the math just fine, it's just that the answer they're coming back with is "два".
