You're not getting it, at all. It doesn't take collusion for Putin to want to weaken the Presidency and therefore the Country. He discredits Hillary to weaken her if she wins. He promotes Trump on the off chance that we'll decide to poison ourselves, which is what happened. Either way, Russia comes out comparatively stronger, particularly with Trump. Any time the Trump faction spreads more hate & discontent they're right there to help, like with their trolling the #SchumerShutdown hashtag.
He's paying the troll army, anyway, like in Ukraine, the French election, Brexit & other areas as well. They just shift the attack on the West from place to place as the situation dictates.
