Claims usually do.
Can you imagine if someone did this for the other guys?
Like Trump is allied towards Putin, but he is only allied to those who pay him. He's a narcissist in debt. If Putin's funds dried up, he'd just saying he never liked him in the first place, disobey any previous agremeents.
Let's not ignore the billionaires who are American and have always been American puppeting him and the party in general.
Seriously, literally, I laughed out loud.
It would be helpful to have it confirmed, but it's highly unlikely. The KGB is generally hush-hush, so we're going to have to decide without explicit evidence, but Occam's razor is good enough for me.
Occam's razor says that he's a billionaire acting in his own self interest. Adding hidden unconfirmed assumptions that are unnecessary to explain his behavior is literally the exact thing that Occam's razor says not to do.
The question is specifically the billionaire's behavior toward Russia.
The idea that Trump simply disagrees with you on foreign policy is a simpler explanation than the idea that he's secretly controlled by Russia. The majority of his Republican base supports his stance on Ukraine, along with roughly half of the population as a whole. Why is it assumed that everyone would take your position on Russia in the absence of some secret plot?
