I agree with you. Just to be clear, I’m not saying that Trump is literally like Putin’s direct agent in America where Putin says “ok now do this!” and Trump does it.
It’s more than Trump has been doing Russian dirty work for decades and through that relationship, the Russians both have made “friends” with Trump and learned how to manipulate him (whether that’s only through flattery & strongmanism or if there’s actually some kind of dirt there, I can’t say with 100% certainty) and that Trump’s personal goals will often overlap with Russia’s goals or Russia sees a way it can score an outcome from something Trump is already leaning into.
Like you said - gardeners watching the fruits of their labor grow. And occasionally sprinkling some fertilizer when it benefits them.

But the goals of both parties are anti-American
Agree completely.
