What would Trump do differently if he was not a Russian agent?

I don't know. Maybe he'd attack Russian proxies in the middle east, that have killed large numbers of their citizens during recent protests, like Iran.
Lol. So cause a war with Russia and the US?

Would you say Biden was a XI agent?

He's probably not lucid enough to even know _why_ he granted a nice shiny federal pardon to the guy who funded Federal Grant No. R01AI110964 through the NIH to Ecohealth Alliance for research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. But the rest of you seem to be equally OK with ignoring why that happened, so I dunno. Maybe I'll take you seriously about Iran as a result?
Trump is not a Russian agent, he is too stupid for that. Instead of using weapons and monetary support as leverage towards Ukraine to favor Russia, he has voluntarily given it up during 2025 and then US negotiators are surprised that it is hard to force Ukraine to do anything because there is no leverage towards Ukraine.

On the other hand EU has massive leverage on Ukraine because they are effectively keeping them fighting, but Russia won't even engage with EU for whatever reason, instead they are negotiating with USA to get a deal, which can't be enforced because USA lost leverage long time ago.

The question is, what would Trump do differently if he were a Russian agent or asset.

The answer is, not a whole lot.
