The Trump administration has betrayed America’s allies, there is no doubt. Has he betrayed America? The evidence for this is stacking up remorselessly. The stock market is plummeting. He has reneged on all his promises about tackling consumer prices, keeping inflation down and employment up. All these indicators are going in the wrong direction. The irreversible damage already been caused to trust in America will only make these things worse.

The spectacle of Trump’s attacks on Zelensky, not even mentioning Putin can only be explained by kompromat, corruption or both. Enjoying ‘golden showers’ with call girls at Moscow’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel is not enough to unseat him. He is Teflon-coated about sexual scandal. There must be something much more serious. Brazen financial corruption involving billions of dollars seems extremely likely. It is probably both, though he doesn’t have much time left to enjoy a billion dollar fortune. There must be something so damaging to his status, even amongst his faithful supporters, that leaves him totally under Putin’s control.

Surely the CIA, FBI and other US security services must have a higher duty to the Constitution than a rogue President? There must be agents involved in preparing for his arrest and impeachment but the prospect of JD Vance assuming the presidency offers little hope.

It’s certain that Trump is placing Russian interests over the USA’s and its allies. Justice will be served and the world will be rescued if he spends his final years in Guantanamo Bay.
