"The Plot to Betray America" Inquiring minds want to know

Malcolm Nance has written​what I think is​ a very good book entitled "The Plot to Betray America." It involves Trump cancelling a routine Navy maneuver around the Black Sea attendant to national security because he thought it would threaten Putin! ​ Malcolm Nance, ​​according to Wiki, "​is an American author and media commentator on terrorism, intelligence, insurgency and torture. He is a former United States Navy senior chief petty officer specializing in naval cryptology. ​​Nance is an intelligence and foreign policy analyst who frequently discusses the history, personalities, and organization of jihadi radicalization and al-Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL); as well as counterinsurgency and asymmetric warfare. Schooled in Arabic, he is active in the field of national security policy particularly, in anti- and counter-terrorism intelligence, terrorist strategy and tactics​ ... .​​  I​n 2016, he published the book, Defeating ISIS: Who They Are, How They Fight, What They Believe,​ ​and published The Plot to Hack America the same year​."​

The subject of this book if true​ is stunning​. If anything can be labeled treason​ against this country​ this can. I continue after a thousand days of this Cretan's ​acting ​presidency ​to ​want to know ​what​ on god's earth Putin has on Trump that he continues to want to court his favor, continues to be enamored with the substance of Putin's dictatorial leadership and continues to be in love with Putin​'s personality​ specifically so much that he will do anything ​not ​to offend him even if it means he commands ​reversal of ​a policy at the expense of US national security. Trump was furious and stopped Navy routine maneuvers around the Black Sea that were within the proscribed limits​ and that the US and other nations conduct all the time​. He was furious because he thought it would offend Putin. Really? Routine US military exercises around the Black Sea made this acting president furious because he thought it would offend Putin? I am stumped.

If Trump were a closeted gay I would think Putin was the love of his life. Yes, I surely know Trump has no homosexual proclivities. That is clear. B​ut​ what I cannot account for is Trump's sycophant behavior towards Putin. Putin the former KGB member, the former good Communist when Russia was Communist Trump admires. Is it only money or real estate? Is that the tie that binds? Or is it something else no one has guessed. Inquiring minds want to know!
