It's actually extremely simple to understand...
Once you realize that Donald Trump has for years been an active Russian asset who Putin has tasked with dismantling/destroying the United States of America, everything he does suddenly makes perfect, logical sense.
Absolutely nothing he has been doing is in any way meant for the benefit of American citizens. All the cuts, all the departments closed, all the economic chaos, all the laws broken, all the seemingly treasonous foreign policy decisions, all the willful incompetence, all the unimaginably unqualified appointments, all the strife and confusion he is causing... absolutely NONE OF IT benefits the American people in any way whatsoever. It was never intended to. It is all meant to tear this country down.
Trump and his billionaire friends will be the only ones who benefit in any way at all. The loot they make off with out of all this is their reward for assisting Putin and his orange puppet in his destruction of this nation as a free country.
