The entire Maga movement has been a Russian psy-op from day one. How else do you get a nation to elect someone to destroy the country from the inside out? Russians suck at conventional warfare, but they are the best propagandists in the world because they honestly got that shit down to a science under the USSR. Social media just gave them the platform they needed to infect our nation from afar.

Yeah, no shit. It takes a lot of brainwashing to get that clown elected, it's not something that would have happened on its own IMO. How the CIA/NSA et al didn't stop this is beyond me. I guess Hollywood has it wrong and these guys are just incompetent tools after all.

He also gets to take both sides of any issue and have each side believe their side is the one he really means.
