What does this have to do with... make the connection for me...

A traitor who serves as the puppet of the enemy occupying his or her country. [After Major Vidkun Quisling (1887-1945), head of Norway's government during the Nazi occupation (1940-1945).]

Could this be our Commander in Chief? Not hard to extrapolate.
