Some people insinuated that Trump worked with the Russians to get their help, but the consistent message that came from his cast off associates and from journalists with access like Woodward was that he was too stupid to set anything like that up. I don't think anybody reasonable ever believed otherwise. The Russians didn't give a damn what Trump wanted. He was simply a useful buffoon that they could use to disrupt the election, and they succeeded beyond their wildest hopes.
