"Russia is openly backing Iran in the war with the US. In sending American hard currency to Moscow, Trump is helping Teheran. In trying to make friends with Putin, Trump is trying to ally with the country that is backing his enemy. He is, in effect, paying the other side to kill his troops."

Cover of the book: Traitor: A History of American Betrayal from Benedict Arnold to Donald Trump
by David Rothkopf
Blurb: "Donald Trump is unfit in almost every respect for the high office he holds. But what distinguishes him from every other bad leader the U.S. has had is that he has repeatedly, egregiously, betrayed his country. Regardless of what Congress decides he's done, the facts available to the public show that Trump has met every necessary standard to define his behavior as traitorous."
