What script is Trump playing?

Donald trump favorite Format for conversations with journalists consists of semi-spontaneous press conferences in front of the South lawn of the White house. The procedure is always roughly the same: The journalists standing around in front of the entrance, until the President stops on the way to the waiting helicopter shortly. You call out to him through the noise of the rotors a little, Trump understands the best case, the half, and after a few minutes of Back and Forth, the uncertainty is often larger than they were before. On Monday but one of Trumps sets was as clear as bizarre. "I've never worked for Russia", - said the President of the United States.

Trump responded with the statement on two media revelations from the weekend. First, the "New York Times" had reported that the Federal police had started FBI 2017 an investigation to find out whether Trump is working as knowingly or unwitting Agent of Russia – what the blazes a headline for the history books. Shortly after that, duplicate the "Washington Post" with an article, in which they retraced that Trump has done a great deal to the content of his talks with Vladimir Putin in front of his own advisors, to keep secret – for example, by a Translator, instructed him your notes to hand over.

From the point of view of the US intelligence services, there was probably early enough reasons to be suspicious.

Since then have solidified in Washington, in two very different ways of thinking for trump's relationship to Russia and to his own government. The easiest way to you with two films of American cinema to describe. The one that Trumps the opponents of a widespread narrative, reminiscent of "The Manchurian Candidate", the strip has become synonymous with politicians, which are controlled by a foreign Power. You do not need to wait for the completion of the investigation by special investigator Robert Mueller to recognize that trump is relationship to Putin "it's perverted and weird," wrote the historian Anne Applebaum: "But, Yes, brings us still more evidence to confirm what we already know."

Known relationship to Russia is about to Trumps are actually a lot of, and from the point of view of the US intelligence services, there was probably early enough reasons to be suspicious. Given the numerous Connections of people in Trumps presidential campaign were lied, to name just a few things to Russian circles, about the President and his environment. Since the public call for Trumps to Putin in the election campaign, to hack the Computer of the Democratic party. Because of the servile appearance was on the side of Putin in Helsinki, the Democrats now want to go to the bottom of, by subpoena, perhaps the present Translator in the Congress. And as the Russian Propaganda, the vented Trump from time to time, most recently when he defended without asking the Soviet Invasion in Afghanistan, what many drifted to the question: where did he get the money?

Trump was not in Putin's interest

It was all as it had already said in the election campaign, tweeted Hillary Clinton: Trump Putin's "puppet". Not only the President of the grotesque, but also his supporters. If you treat Trump like a character from a Film, then there is a meet the comparison as "The Manchu-rian Candidate", wrote of the conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt: "Seven days in may", a Thriller about a US President, to be overthrown by a group of conspirators of the military.

According to this camp, the Thesis of the hand makes a long, Putin's alone makes no sense, because the United States had increased under Trump the military budget, the Nato members would have brought to an increase in the defence expenditure and Germany because of the planned gas pipeline from Russia under pressure. All of this was not in the interest of Putin. In the investigation of the FBI against Trump his defenders see the attempt of uncontrolled, self-aggrandizing agents to chase an elected President out of office. And they point out that the Left, the welcome, the secret services recently critical of, such unauthorized actions – what would any other President be different.

at Least in the last point, you're right. But Trump is not a President like any other. What movie template corresponds to the reality, rather, it will show maybe if Mueller's final report is here – but this is not secure.
