I read the caption before I took a good look at the picture and I assumed that “floaties” meant something very different.
Which really runs against the “Everything Trump does is actually Russia!” line that gets posted around here incessantly. There’s nothing Putin would want more than to have access to those briefings, but his useful idiot is too much of an idiot to be useful here. Trump is on Putin’s side, sure, but most of what he does, especially in this term, is the result of home-grown American authoritarianism, not orders from Russia.
If the collapse was going to happen anyway then it would’ve been best for Trump to sit out the election and let it happen under Biden’s watch.
The thing is, it doesn’t really benefit anyone. If you’re Russia, for instance, it would be better to destroy the entire democratic world than just the United States, and Trump could have done that if he’d just moved more slowly on some of his actions (for instance, if he’d remained quiet about Canada until after our election then we’d be in a very different situation now.) Trump’s just an idiot, plain and simple, and the people he surrounds himself with are either idiots themselves or too cowardly to call the idiots out on their idiocy.
It’s a mistake to think that either he or his handlers have some kind of master plan and that everything Trump does is the result of expert manoeuvring that just looks like stupidity. That promotes defeatism and gets people to surrender prematurely. As long as people stand up to Trump, he will lose.

Most anthropologists and archaeologists are too old for that.

What if my bones were in a museum,
Where aliens paid good money to see ’em?
And suppose that they’d put me together all wrong,
Sticking bones on to bones where they didn’t belong!Imagine phalanges, pelvis, and spine
Welded to mandibles that once had been mine!
With each misassemblage, the error compounded,
The aliens would draw back in terror, astounded!Their textbooks would show me in grim illustration,
The most hideous thing ever seen in creation!
The museum would commission a model in plaster
Of ME, to be called, “Evolution’s Disaster”!And paleontologists there would debate
Dozens of theories to help postulate
How man survived for those thousands of years
With teeth-covered arms growing out of his ears!Oh, I hope that I’m never in such manner displayed,
No matter HOW much to see me the aliens paid.- Bill Watterson
No, they just don’t want to talk to you.
Wake me when it’s over 9000.
