Sure. I hope the intel is true that Russia is putting bounties on American and coalition troops, and that Trump either didn't know about it because he doesn't read his PDB, or did know, and didn't respond in any way. Because... why?
The reality is that it won't hurt Trump. Trump's defenders create alternative narratives anytime he does something bad(look at Russiagate, Ukraine, etc). So this pushes his supporters further away from reality, it forces Republican politicians to move that way as well, and there's zero political consequences.
There's no motive for me to wish this were true, because if it is true, there's no positive outcomes. It's all bad.
Especially the outcome where it isn't true and you look stupid.
