      That’s really what this comes off at. Or a reminder of kompromat

        I don’t think the kompromat angle makes sense at this point. It may have once but now? What could they have that would matter? Americans voted for him. Full on piss tapes being leaked online wouldn’t make a difference.

          Yup. We know he’s a rapist, a racist, and a criminal, and that didn’t lose him any support. What exactly could there be that would turn off his supporters? At this point I really don’t think anything would do it. They’d just say “well, on him it looks good!”

            They could have Epstein videos of him fucking a thirteen year old and I’d bet there’d be a referendum on lowering age of consent to twelve. And I’m not sure it wouldn’t pass at this point.

              Why would they lower the age of consent for people who (in their eyes) don’t have rights to begin with?

              People as things, that’s where it starts.

          At this point, even if there were photos of him fucking 10 yo kids, he would just say it is ai and his voter base would not give a fuck.

          Do you not know how vain this old shit diaper is?? The man colors his skin orange. To him, it most certainly makes a difference.

            Does it though? Trump cares about his crowd sizes. He doesn’t give a fuck that people think he abuses women. He wears that shit like a badge of honor. He proclaims his corruption loudly and his fans think it makes him shrewd. I honestly can’t imagine what Putin has on him that would matter. Maybe a picture of his tiny… hands, but he’d just claim it was faked.

          Video of him with an underage blonde girl whom he calls “Ivanka”. She’s the one and only person he needs in his life. And she’ll abandon him.

          I dunno. And of course the idea that there even is kompromat isn’t substantiated. But if there is, and you accept the idea that Trump has NPD, then the answer is not whether the voters would care, but that he would.

        I really wonder what it could possibly be? Trump has every lawsuit imaginable waged against him, he has broken just about every law and proven himself to be a terrible human being. Even if Putin has video of him raping kids (which given Trumps connection to Epstein seems likely), I don’t know at this point it would matter? His followers would just say fake news or not even care. And he’s already elected as supreme leader, president for life, dictator or king, however you want to state it.

        Putin will probably have him killed if he doesn’t follow the plan, but I have a feeling Trump wants to follow the plan regardless.

        I think it was naive of us thinking there’s no way someone would be willingly become a cuck for Putin, he must have some leverage. But I feel at this point, Trump just really really wants to be Putins main bitch.

          Putin/Russia doesn’t have this power. I don’t get the conspiracy that Russia is controlling the US government, when the shitshow in Ukraine has shown the incompetence of Russia on a grand scale. If anything this power dynamic is the other way around. The US has way more power and resources to make Putin disappear than Russia does to do the opposite.

          I do think you are correct that Trump just want to be allies with Putin and follow his plan. I don’t think there is any coercion involved in this except maybe financial and diplomatic benefits to Trump. (for example, election interference/social media psyops)

          Basically, if Trump wasn’t on board with this and allowing this conspiracy to happen, then Russia wouldn’t even be relevant here.
