He's not listening to advice from Putin, he's taking orders.

Okay in fairness it's probably not true. What is definitely true though is that whatever he does is a distraction from the only question that matters:

WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES?

In his Truth Social post, Trump argued that states are "merely an 'agent' for the Federal Government" in counting votes and "must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them." Suffice it to say that this is not the traditional mainstream view of the U.S. Constitution, checks and balances or federalism.

No that doesn't really suffice. That doesn't even come close to sufficing.

Because he wants to be a member of the dictators club.

He's a pragmatist. Ask for advice from a international, master vote manipulator.

He’s not a dictator - he won every election he ever fixed!
