Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDo you think trump would flip on Putin in order to save his ass and those of his spawn?
If he thinks his time is up, would he ever scream that "it's all Putin's fault, he made me"?

(26,251 posts)I believe what Putin has on him is the only thing that scares him.
I'll put this out there, it's been my mind for the last couple of years.
I don't think the pee tape is a pee tape.
I think the mythical pee tape is Trump forcing himself on a human trafficked minor and accidentally (or not) killing her during a struggle when she resists.
A pee tape would only add to his legend status among his base, these ppl live vicariously through Trump, so the more exotic and primal the better.
Virtually all publicity is good publicity for the Trump orbit, so I don't see that being the compulsion that brought him to his knees in Helsinki.
Murder, though?
That's different.

(26,251 posts)I've heard the rumors about trump*'s connection to Jeffrey Epstein. I know a lot of powerful people were in his circle but that doesn't necessarily implicate them in Epstein's more notorious, heinous activities. But, from what we already know about trump*, NOTHING that will come out about him will really surprise me.

I don't put any depravity past those seeking absolute power as Trump does, command over life and death is the ultimate expression of such things.
I don't put it past him for one second. The man is a raving sociopath who values no other human lives save for, well..Ivanka.

(11,726 posts)However, I am also with the, "it wouldn't help at that point". Trump set himself up to be used and/or willingly went along with anything that Putin might have planned. The US cannot prosecute Putin so it doesn't matter if Trump says, "It was all his doing". Trump is subject to US law.
So, yes, Trump would sink to any cowardly level to protect himself and maybe his family, but it would be irrelevant for him to try to blame everything on Putin.

The guilty can deal for easier sentences if they can give up someone further up the chain. trump is at the top but maybe he could say that Putin was in order to save some face.

(5,499 posts)I would say if I were Putin maybe I'm not sleeping all that great at night. If something happens to Putin, then what?

(249 posts)Just like Manafort, he doesn't want to accidentally fall of a balcony or worse. He's in with the big boys now. Plus their families are game as well. Now that might not mean anything to T if it is him or them but I think it does for Manafort.

And Putin knows it.
