There is most certainly foreign issues imposing their will on the US, some are successful some are not. this is no different than another country, it’s how Geo-politics works.

When Trump meets with putin, both sides will try to impose there policies on each other.

Then there is the darker side of this with foreign propaganda being injected into things like social media to influence the opinion of the general public.

Ah, you’re hung up on the Employee comment and not really about your assertion that the US problems are only home grown and not from “perfidious foreigners”.

Well is probably true he’s not an “Employee” and maybe not a “Russian Asset” although I personally think he is the latter. I would argue he is at the very least compromised by Russia.

And it’s very true that the US has massive home grown issues it needs to solve, but it’s also true there are many foreign issues that as imposing there will on the US.

There isnt any reason why it can’t be both, and in my opinion it very much is.
