Trump, on Fox, cites Putin (“smart guy”) as authority on how to run “an honest election.” His claim that states have to follow his orders on voting rules is upside down. Congress and states set election law. The president has exactly zero lawful role.

I’m convinced Putin has a copy of the Epstein files. That’s the real kompromat.

No. Trump is just weak & stupid & easily manipulated. He can’t stand up to strong men.

I conclude that academically minded people like you are literally worse then useless in this crisis cause you delay action with all of your long reports

When has that stopped him so far? I recall you on Sam Harris talking about "war game" planning for if/when Trump was re-elected. Has any of that planning come to the fore?
