I don't think Biden is in China's pocket, but he will absolutely be friendlier towards them than Trump was. Trump being friendlier to Russia than Obama was all many needed to put him in Putin's pocket. This is exactly why I stated originally that these types of tropes are banal, and they cut both ways.
I'm still standing by my assessment that once Trump is out Trumpism will be as well. They'll do what they have to do to maintain their hold on those voters, but that won't honestly take much given the alternative.
I have. I am not sure one guy is considered "extensive". There is an entire senate report detailing the various members of Trump's campaign that were compromised. There was the NRA backchannel, the congressional trip to Russia, the meeting with Russian intermediaries over "adoption", Russian financing of business operations, Meetings between Trump and Putin No one else was allowed in (this doesn't happen), Administrative actions to weaken our stance against Russia, and so on. None on their own are a damning thing, but altogether it does paint a bit of a narrative of a larger issue.
Trump is running in 2024 if he is alive and I believe his VP will be one of his kids in the hope he either dies in office and passes it on to them or he can essentially make them the de facto incumbent the following election. Maybe he runs under his own party, but that will still tear the GOP apart if that occurs. The GOP needs him to go away, but I just don't see that happening, his ego won't allow it.
