1. Foreign powers are manipulating trump to weaken US for their own agendas
2. its only about Trump being avaricious and gaining more power. Like going into nice neighbors house and stealing all the gold fixtures and copper wiring.

3. Using said power to manipulate/bully others into paying trump for favors engorging himself more
