At this point I really don't know whether to believe that Trump is literally a Russian asset. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, we need to wait for actual evidence to know for sure.
But I'm finding it more interesting right now watching how people are reacting to the possibility that Trump is a Russian asset. I'm thinking a lot of people would rather believe that it was true, because that way it would mean America didn't do this to themselves. Much nicer to believe that some Machiavellian spy plot had been pulled and America had been hoodwinked than to believe that America had simply elected this ridiculous parody of a human being because they wanted to.
That's not what the question was about.
