whether he knew it or not.
he was compromised. i have seen that stated in a couple of articles about this.
he was compromised. he is compromised.
they have control, whether it is money, or favors from the mafia, or a sex tape, or who knows.
they have something on him.
you can love his sorry ass, but would you loan the man money? would you ask him to drive you daughter home?
wake the fuck up, people. the strings over the white house have never been so obvious.

(70,228 posts)i wonder if they got something vulgar enough to piss off his followers, tho.
they seem to like that he is a vulgarian.
i am sure they made it good, tho.

(50,562 posts)My best guess is Trump owes the Russian government a LOT of money he either can't or won't repay, and he's going to satisfy his debt with the kinds of favors only presidents can do.

(70,228 posts)dont see how it really disqualifies him from the office. this has to be something that would explode his presidency, not just embarrass him.

(732 posts)I do not think it has to do with being over leveraged to Russia, Trump would not care, he has always been over leveraged, has bragged about it. Nope I think they have proof of his true net worth. Not a billionaire, just a millionaire. The number one thing that he always get defensive about is his wealth.

(7,188 posts)They say goes back to 300 when Russia started lending to Trump and overpaying for Trump property- like Florida estate.
Explains why Trump making choices during campaign i.e. re Manafort, Flynn, and others with ties to Russia. Explains Exxon pick for SOS - which seems out of left field.
Also wonder what they have on RNC. Provence must be cooperating so has role close to Trump.

(7,770 posts)I thought so too for some time. And with GOP being hacked too-Putin could have mucho blackmail on them too. Maybe McConnell's a pedophile. We don't know but Vladimir does.
