MSNBC’s Nance: Trump Is Being ‘Manipulated’ By Putin, US Will Become ‘Third-Class Country’

On Saturday’s “MSNBC Live,” MSNBC Contributor Malcolm Nance argued that “Donald Trump is being played along, and so long as he is manipulated like that, Russia and China will take our market share from the world’s — from the international markets out there, and the United States will be relegated to a third-class country with atomic weapons.”

Nance said, “We are being played as fools, by a spymaster in chief, a former KGB officer, director of Russian intelligence. He’s laughing at us, and his letters, which stroke Donald Trump nicely. … So, you know, Donald Trump is being played along, and so long as he is manipulated like that, Russia and China will take our market share from the world’s — from the international markets out there, and the United States will be relegated to a third-class country with atomic weapons.”
