There are many theories, analogies, allegories and/or fairy tales that might help explain away how Trump was able to garner the electoral votes needed to win the presidency! Absent a full and complete investigation of every vote cast, we may never get to the bottom of any voter fraud that might have occurred, yet another possible explanation.
With the recent release of the CIA Report confirming not only Russian hacking activities but that those activities — and perhaps others — were undertaken with the explicit intention of electing Donald Trump, I would like to offer yet another explanation.
Donald Trump is a Modern Day “Manchurian Candidate”. The Russians saw an opportunity decades ago to use the Donald’s Greed and ego, indeed his narcissism, to begin a campaign of subtle psychological manipulation to create a malleable candidate whom they could push into the Presidency despite all evidence that showed he was unqualified for that office and psychologically unfit.
The fact that there were Russian computer servers within Trump Headquarters, along with Trump’s many business dealings in that region and the ties to the region of a number of his campaign surrogates and even appointees to cabinet positions, is it really too much of a leap to think that he might have been planted by the Russian government, even decades ago back when the KGB was alive? A “useful idiot” like Trump, easy to sucker by tickling his vanity and filling his wallet?
There is much to speculate on here, and even more to investigate. What’s scary is that his sociopathology and bizarre behavior and lack of filters should have been disqualifying enough for election to the highest office in the land. That we are having to talk about Russian manipulation is a sad commentary on the voting public in those red and swing states!
