    This is obviously subjective and depends how you define “asset”.

    If you’re asking whether Trump is a red sparrow recruited as a orphan and trained in espionage, ballet, and martial arts from the age of 4, that’s obviously not the case.

    If you’re asking whether Trump is easily manipulated by his desire for validation from competitors, or his desire to exert power over others, then that’s obviously true.

        both are true. This is not mutually exclusive.

            imagine using your brain and looking at reality as it is actually playing out. Based on your previous comment, I thought that included you.
