Many of us in America suspect the reason President Trump meets by himself with autocrats like North Korean leader Kim Jung-un and Russian President Vladimir Putin is because he is being controlled.

The Trump meeting with Kim Jung-un in Singapore delivered a concession to North Korea. President Trump agreed to end military exercises with South Korea.

On the world stage, President Trump is dividing America by only sending dog whistles to his base, combined with insulting allies of the United States.

It is my notion that the firing of former FBI Director James Comey, the pulling out of the Paris climate change agreement, ending the Iran nuclear agreement, the decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem to declare Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and now the tariffs against our allies are all on Mr. Putin’s wish list to make trouble for our allies and America.

​​What does Mr. Putin have on President Trump to have him under his control? Could it be Russian funds were given to President Trump during a bankruptcy, or could it be the suspected pee-pee tapes?

If all the above has some truth, we have a treasonous president in open sight under a Republican-controlled Congress.
