"Trump is an alien impersonator trying to destroy humanity from within to make it easier for the aliens to colonize earth" That is also a probable explanation

"Trump is an alien impersonator trying to destroy humanity from within to make it easier for the aliens to colonize earth" That is also a probable explanation for what's happening, if you believe in UFOs and aliens. Sorry, I mean no disrespect. As a non-american and non-westerner, it's absolutely wild to see what people are willing to believe when it comes to Trump. Surely, there's a more rational and simple explanation for what's going on ?

Perhaps you have thought of one? If so, the rest of us are dying to hear it.

  It doesn't matter what I think or believe. What matters and what we know is that nearly half of America's electorate does not think that these allegations have any merits. The rest are free to believe or speculate whatever they want to.

    What matters more is what's actually true.

  My personal farfetched alternative theory is the "Earth X" theory. Earth X was a comic (lol) with one interesting idea — if enough people preceive "A" as "B", "A" becomes "B". In the case of Trump, he despises the left wing camp for kicking him off Twitter and prosecuting him. As such he takes their nightmares that they believed in term one and makes them real as personal revenge. For an old man, it is no doubt the most satisfying possible end of his life possible. Far fetched but more realistic than "He's being blackmailed". Do you really believe the man has any shame?

    Yes, the 34 felony counts against Trump proven in court beyond a reasonable doubt were about falsifying business records to pay hush money to pron star Stormy Daniels over their sex affair: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormy_Daniels%E2%80%93Donald_Trump_scandal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormy_Daniels%E2%80%93Donal... If he had no shame, he would have kept the money.

      In one sense, a lot of what he does is to avoid shame. The man is insanely thin skinned.

      This is a good point but I was thinking about the context in his second term, not his first. Clearly he knew that, at some level, he was bulletproof in term #2. People literally brought him back after his partisans' actions on Capitol Hill. He's so old that there is no way he ever spends time in jail. All of these machinations are, to me, an effort to avoid legal prosecution when he thought they could be effective against him. At this point, you could share the supposed piss tape and no one would care.

I don't really want to divert the thread to a lot of questionable Trump stuff but there is some evidence in that direction. See for example https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/19/trump-first-moscow-trip-215842/ https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/19/trump-fir... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/29/trump-russia-asset-claims-former-kgb-spy-new-book https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/29/trump-russia... https://www.kyivpost.com/post/47630 https://www.kyivpost.com/post/47630

  Do you have sources that don't take funding from US Intel (USAID)?

      LOL that was the source? It was a random guy saying he recruited Donald Trump in the 1980s (possibly true), and then a bunch of conjecture based on appearances? No collaborating evidence? No details on what he recruited Donald Trump for or what they used them for? Thank you for a good laugh.

        Sorry, did you want the Politburo to convene in the graveyard to deliver an official statement? Maybe you're waiting for a really trustworthy Russian ideologue like Putin to examine the KGB records on your behalf? The story is corroborated by Yuri Shvets and Sergei Zhyrnov. You don't have to listen if the accusation offends you, but the pieces of the puzzle sure point towards kompromat more than glasnost.
