Useful idiot

A term Republicans use for poor people who vote for them even though the Republican party hates poor people.
Farmer John voted for George Bush even though Bush gave a tax cut to the agribusiness behemoth down the street from John. John could not compete with the corporate behemoth and declared bankruptcy. Now John is a serf for the corporate overlords. George Bush calls these people useful idiots.

Useful Idiot

A useful idiot is someone who unwittingly manipulated by a foreign government to help a foreign government's agenda, with the support of said foreign government. Being a foreign government's bitch.
Donald Trump is one of Putin's useful idiots because many of his ideas like not fully supporting NATO plays into Russia's agenda and would help Putin. Putin supports Trump by hacking his opponents' servers and broadcasting the democrats in a negative light and Trump in a positive light on his propaganda channel.

Jill Stein is also one of Putin's useful idiots. She goes to Russia, a country notorious for its human rights abuses towards political opponents and gay people, and says the US needs to work on human rights and foreign policy. It's like going to Saudi Arabia and saying the US needs better women's rights. The night before she attended a dinner with Vladimir Putin, and she constantly retweets Putin's propaganda channel Russia Today.

Both of these candidates are supported by the Russian Federation for nefarious reasons. Putin supports Trump because he thinks a Trump and a friendly US could make Russia stronger as a country, while the Russians support Jill Stein because she will take away votes from left-wing types who would normally vote Democratic, which could hurt Hillary and help Trump in close states.

In other words, Donald Trump is Vladimir Putin's bitch.

Useful Idiot

People who believe, act, and promote for a higher power who's interests are actually against that very person.

That power sees that person as a "useful idiot." The powers-that-be exploit the Useful Idiot to carry out their own wants and needs. They often use the hate and fears of the useful idiot, to manipulate them into acting against their own best interests.
That tRumptard redneck rube voted to give tax cuts to the rich plutocrats! It's cute how he pretends the rich create jobs. The rich see him as a useful idiot. And tRump thinks he's trash. But they know the useful idiot can be manipulated with hatred and fear to vote against their own best interests.
