This may be the most disturbing conversation in the series so far.
Anthony Scaramucci begins by attacking Republican senators for effectively waiting Trump out.
But then the conversation turns to Russia.
What does Putin have on Trump?
Scaramucci suggests that Trump could be a Russian asset and that whatever may be influencing him could be something much more serious than the “pee tape” theory that has dominated so much of the discussion.
He says he doesn’t have the smoking gun.
So this is not presented as proven fact.
It is an allegation and a theory from someone who was once inside Trump’s political world.
And that is precisely why the conversation is worth examining.
What would be powerful enough to paralyse a President?
What happens when political institutions choose not to challenge presidential power?
And what happens when speculation, political reality and geopolitical consequences become increasingly difficult to separate?
This is POLI RANTS, StudioZer0’s space for political observation, art, culture, activism and creative commentary on the forces shaping our world.
