This is a "we never went to the moon" type of conspiracy, to many things would have to fit perfectly for it to make sense
It's much more likely that he his completely incompetent and inapt, espacially if he gets his advices from Musk and Vance

Were Musk and Vance key influencers there? If not, what elements are constant?
This is what's going on ^, people like you and me cannot agree on anything because whatever happens truth has no value whatsoever, there are two groups of people, being fed two flavors of reality
For that matter, what is your argument? You're being quite vague.
> How does his behaviour in this administration differ markedly from his first?
Was there a government purge during the first term ? Did we have 20 years old non vetted civilians getting access to critical systems ? Did we have the entire tech sector rallying behind trump ? Did we have a foreign billionaire melding with internal politics straight from the oval office ?
No, we had an old man selling cans of beans from the oval office: https://media.newyorker.com/photos/5f1091ef3075b61a6e553443/...
We had people who mistook the "Four Seasons Hotel" with "Four Seasons Total Landscaping": https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ee/Four_Seasons_...
It was a clown show with minor influence on the long term direction of the US and the world, it's hardly comparable to what we're witnessing right now.
The US media supportive of the present administration are a distinct anomaly globally.
There were numerous signs of pro-Russian sentiments in the first term, as well as a well-documented set in the Mueller report (see: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mueller_report#Conspiracy_or_c...> for an overview), misrepresentations and denials notwithstanding. Your list is grossly deficient and spurious.
That could have been presented far more succinctly than with a meandering interview.
And is a topic I'm quite familiar with.
Countermeasure: cheap, fast, regret-free rejection:
ok but one of the bubbles lives in reality, and the information bombardment is of things that actually happen.
the other bubble is mostly just hateful delusion
things like immediately reversing course on military support for the only country at war with Russia? things like torching relationships with our closest allies we've spent decades, if not centuries building?
things like repeatedly and publicly praising Putin? things like both ex-KGB officers and current UK legislators publicly stating the possibility?
things like everything in this article? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Links_between_Trump_associates...
I don't know why you think it's quite so far fetched. it's not a certainty but at this point I would say the preponderance of evidence calls it "likely"
America has a tremendous interest in not being at war with the world’s second largest nuclear power. We also have no interest in sacrificing good relations with Russia for the sake of Ukraine.
No problem sacrificing good relations with Canada, Europe, China, the entire Arab world, though... The mental gymnastic people go through lol
Lot's of americans and europeans are fan of Putin, because "he tells it how it is", he doesn't like gays, &c. Trump is a simple mind so it's not really surprising. He also sucks Saudi's and Israeli's balls all day long for the same reasons
