Trump is very likely a Russian agent, tasked with destroying the us economy and reducing the power of the us on the global stage. The reason is simple, and it aligns directly with Russia (and Brics) broader geopolitical goals.
I posted this a few days ago in response to a similar question.
I tried to make a longer post with info copied from New York Times articles and other magazines, but the post keeps ending up longer than the allowed size for Reddit posts.
Similar questions have been asked repeatedly on several subreddits, and almost all of the posts are removed by the moderators of the subreddits because the comments get filled up with political posturing.
My post below is just a copy of the Wikipedia article.
Trump was never able to successfully conclude any real estate deals in Russia.
However, individual Russians have invested heavily in Trump properties, and, following Trump’s bankruptcies in the 1990s, he borrowed money from Russian sources.
Both Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have said that Russia was an important source of money for the Trump businesses.
Because tariffs increase the black market economy, and Putin and Krasnov are pushing those transactions through Russia and then, very likely, a cut of the profits back to themselves.
Wow, whatever could be the reason, that’s quite the puzzle, it’s not like there have been flags redder than a vat of ketchup being waved around for months.
There’s the Reddit answer, and then there’s the realism answer. Which one do you want?
Anyway, because Russia is sanctioned to hell and back, to the point where tariffs won’t do anything as there’s barely any trade going on. ALSO, there are currently at least some kind of peace talks between the US and Russia. How effective these peace talks will be is for each to interpret, I think they will not work at all, but at the same time you don’t piss off the one you are talking to by applying something like extra tariffs on them, while at the same time trying to reach an agreement with them.
The US sanctioned Russia after 2022 and has a trade embargo in place for 90% of commodities. Heck they don’t even allow private airlines to use Russian airspace because of this. Russia on the other hand barely exports anything to the US today, so it doesn’t matter if there’s tarrifs, because it wouldn’t affect anyone involved.

I wish the U.S. was serious about finding Russian spies.
That’s a thinker, that one.
I can’t even imagine not knowing the answer to this question
Trump is a russian asset. Period
You know why.
Was left off? So now they are on it?
Do you really need to ask? Isn’t it obvious?

Donald Trump has pursued business deals in Russia since 1987, and has repeatedly traveled there to explore potential business opportunities.
In 1996, Trump trademark applications were submitted for potential Russian real estate development deals. Trump, his children, and his partners have repeatedly visited Russia, connecting with real estate developers and Russian government officials to explore joint venture opportunities.
Trump was never able to successfully conclude any real estate deals in Russia.

Cuz they’re a lovely country and Putin is the best, a real stand up guy.
Come on, guys, think harder. There are sanctions in place against Russia. There is no trade between the US and Russia.
What is a tarrif going to do to zero trade?
Because tariffs increase the black market economy, and Putin and Krasnov are pushing those transactions through Russia and then, very likely, a cut of the profits back to themselves.
Ahhh, to be so naive…
Because Donnie wants to do business with the war criminal Putin.
I know Trump is up Putin’s ass but there are already sanctions on trade with Russia. Same reason there aren’t tariffs on Cuba and North Korea.
Do you really have to ask? Isn’t it blatantly obvious by now?
Genuine question to OP and the people who ask this: what world are you living in that this isn’t completely obvious?
You know why
Because Putin owns him.
Putin is his buddy

Trump doesn’t want Putin to publicly reveal that he helped him get elected.
Because he’s only throwing his weight around against those he does not expect to retaliate.
Because you don’t put taxes on your boss.
You know why.
Because Putin said so….
The US sanctioned Russia after 2022 and has a trade embargo in place for 90% of commodities. Heck they don’t even allow private airlines to use Russian airspace because of this.

You don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
He took the vodka.
Even as a conservative, it’s obvious to me where this man gets his marching orders.
Because it wasn’t on the list Putin gave him.
