Going to have a 'last' conversation about Pres Trump and the 'Russian' conspiracy theories that a lefty friend still believes...
1) A proud, vain, bombastic and most importantly Powerful egotist like Trump is not going to willingly become the puppet of another (Putin).
2) If 'the Russians' interfered in the 2016 election to get Trump elected and to do their bidding (which is not true - they interfered to cause disruption and did not back a candidate), why didn't they continue to 'interfere' in the 2018 elections? They could have averted losing the House to Pelosi and the Dems and prevented investigations, impeachment, etc.!
3) If 'the Russians' successfully interfered with a couple hundred thousand, how come Jeb Bush, Hillary and Bloomberg failed with hundreds of millions of dollars in addition to Billions of dollars worth of favorable media coverage?
4) If Putin is controlling Trump how come all of the actions we've taken against Russia have been detrimental to them?: We've sanctioned, condemned, bombed, and killed them, expelled their diplomats and armed Ukraine against them - see a list of dates and actions below:

All good points, but...
You’re a racist!
If Putin controls Trump , why do the communists leaders here in the US oppose Trump, and why would Bernie run against Trump if Trump is a commie ?
You won’t get anywhere and you might lost a friend. That said....
1) All the lefties keep writing articles about how dumb Trump is right? Cofeve, Corona Mortality, misspellings, you can find endless accounts...
YET....
2) He’s a Teflon Machiavellian mastermind international criminal that the best investigative minds in the country - including ones appointed by Dems - couldn’t find evidence of him committing a crime.
Do those two things comport?
Don't mention the part about favorable media coverage. Your friend will absolutely deny that is the case, and just say 'Fox Limbaugh Fox Limbaugh Fox Limbaugh' in response.
Lefties think that even one dissenting voice is completely intolerable, and will mislead the gullible, stupid public.
If all else fails, tell him that the Russian Conspiracy was a plot concocted by the oligarchs to prevent Bernie Sanders from becoming President. I know, that makes no sense, but when has sense ever mattered to lefties these days?
If the person is a true liberal you might as well argue with a scotch pine. And with essentially the same results.

Make your most recent conversation with this person your last. Liberals operate on emotion. Logical discussion with an emotion-driven liberal is a fools errand.
Just point out that the Russia thing was just a conspiracy theory all along. Similar to ‘aliens built the pyramids’.
But it’s okay, because lots of people believe that stuff.
Advice...Don’t waste your time.
The left just says he is stupid and evil at the same time. To be fair we also say the same about their leaders too.
Bloomberg spent $560 Million and couldn’t sway a democRat Primary - the Russians spending $100k on Facebook ads didn’t sway a presidential election.
Plus Mueller said no Russian collusion
What happened to McCarthyism being bad?
Supposedly “the russians” spent something like $300,000 dollars on Facebook ads, vs something like one billion dollars by the Hillary campaign Somehow that $300K swamped the billion by Hildabeast.
If the russians are that effective at convincing people who to vote for, maybe the Rats should hire them to run their campaigns.
5) Mike Bloomberg spent over $500 million to influence the 2020 Democrat Primaries. He did not win any states. Robert Mueller charged that Russian operatives spent 0.03% of that ($150,000) on Facebook ads. How effective do you believe the Russians were?
Bloomberg and Steyer disprove the Russian collusion theory.

I have yet to see a single russian video in my fb feed.
The Mueller report confirmed that there was no collusion between Trump and Russia.
It also reported that Russia spent around $140,000 on Facebook ads during the 2016 election.
If Bloomburg spent $500 million and has nothing to show for it, $140,000 gets you less than nothing.
Despite what dopes like Little Steven
think the HUAC was in the House and
started by Democrats;
McCarthy was right as the Venona papers proved a
