If Trump acts like a Russian asset,does all the things a Russian asset would do, places Russian interests above US interests, defends Russian intelligence above US intelligence, provides classified information to Russians, helps Russia achieve its goals,then he's a Russian asset.
If he is unwitting or not, he's still a Russian asset. But for him to be unwitting after his Russia ties have been the main public discussion in the US since before his election would imply a kind of mental incapacity that would make it impossible for him to eat or dress himself.
He suffers from many sorts of mental incapacity and defect. But he is aware enough to know that he was accused of colluding with the Russians and he nonetheless has chosen to place Kremlin interests above American interests.
He has made a conscious choice to repeatedly, egregiously, damagingly, traitorously serve Vladimir Putin rather than you or I or the office he holds or the country and Constitution he swore to serve. History's judgment is foretold. He is the greatest traitor in US history.
