that could destroy his candidacy. Sounds like Donny knew there was a pee pee tape.

Text of tweet - bold added by me:
(THREAD) Mueller's *biggest* revelation is being ignored: the SCO confirms that in the weeks before the 2016 election, Trump believed Kremlin agents held videos of him from a 2013 Moscow trip that could end his candidacy. Please RETWEET this thread widely.

(6,535 posts)I don't think any significant number of his followers would abandon him even if there were an indisputable video recording of him cavorting with a couple of ten year old girls or something (probably sent to his hotel room by Putin). They would just ignore it, call it "fake news," or find some way of excusing that sort of behavior since he is a divine, infallible being and all.

(56,828 posts)AFTER the "Grab 'em by the pussy" tape came out and he survived, it must be pretty damn bad.
Golden Showers would destroy his image as the Top Dog/Alpha Male
Outright racism towards the Obamas would have turned off moderates who didn't like Clinton and would have driven up African American turnout to record levels even beyond 2008 Obama.

to do Putin's bidding, and put the interests of Russia ahead of and in place of, that of the United States.

Whether or not the tape exists is a separate issue.

(10,270 posts)to BE compromising IN THE FIRST PLACE, damn-well happened on that trip.
Put him under oath and lets ask him.
Then lets impeach the motherfucker when he lies to Congress about it.
He knows he did something bad.
He just doesnt want the rest of us to find out about it.

(32,633 posts)Keith Schiller needs to be questioned under oath. He knows whether Chump spent time with prostitutes in Moscow, even though he may not have been in the room when it happened. Chump says he didn't even stay overnight, but we know that's not true.
barbtries
(28,787 posts)the thing is, so what? he could be jacking off while they're pissing into his mouth and his cult would still worship him. he's bragged about sexual abuse, being a peeping tom, cheating on every single one of his 3 wives, none of it matters. not to them.
he's a disgusting low life. a criminal and a sociopath, and they think he's gawd.

(2,690 posts)If there was such a tape and it were made public, Trump and Fox would scream "Fake news and what about Benghazi and Pizzagate and Obama's a Kenyan and Democrats were slave owners and, and, and, homocracy!" and the Dems would determine that using it in the campaign might alienate some voters.
But it would be nice!

They have been effectively brainwashed from decades of conservative media, that their hatred of the evil liberal trumps any and everything.
They would line up tp let him defacate on them at this point ...

As I've said before, Trump could promise to rape their wives and daughters, and they would leave the front door open and a bucket of KFC Extra Crispy on the nightstand for him.

Yes, that is the type of tape that would penetrate their mindless adoration of Trump. As for a "pee tape", I think that for some reason, Trump is actually embarrassed by his perversions. His hard core base would probably excuse or even applaud it, which was made clear by their reaction to the Access Hollywood tape.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)the Access Hollywood is the "Alpha Male" image that Trump has projected - going up & taking women.
The pee tape is a complete 180 from that

I've heard mention of "tapes", more than one. Putin is no amateur. He would have accumulated a lot of damaging material and with Trump, it would be so easy.
genxlib
(5,524 posts)I do not see how this could possibly be resolved
If he was worried, it means he knows there was an activity and opportunity that could have produced such a tape.
How could there possibly be any change to that scenario? Russia has done nothing to hurt Trump while lying to him all the while. There is no way that anyone (Mueller and Trump included) could know that the tape doesn't exist.
That is a compromised position. Aside from everything else, Trump is setting Russia policy with the idea in the back of his mind that they still hold the goods on him.

The pee pee show that was in Trump's hotel room in Moscow was in the fall of
2013 .... Putin knew what Trump liked.
BTW the # of things that have been proven false in the Steele Dossier is zero.

(56,828 posts)if there wasn't a pee tape. It really seems right up his alley to hire Russian hookers to pee on the bed where the Obamas slept.
FakeNoose
(32,633 posts)Chump would not have paid for anything, he just attended and enjoyed it. What Chump didn't realize at the time was that the REAL show was himself. That's how kompromat works. If Chump didn't know it, he was incredibly stupid.
Botany
(70,490 posts)... "I know where they hide the cameras." Not it didn't happen but that he knew where
they hide the cameras. Going to the Las Vegas "Golden Showers" show with some the
Russians told Putin what Trump's "sweet spot" as per getting kompromat on him. That
and the billions of dollars he got from the Russians in his money laundering operations
and bank loans from places like Deutche's bank because the US banks wouldn't give him
a dime because he was a deadbeat.

Given the way Putin/oligarchs/Russian intelligence operates, and what we know about Trump, it is almost certainly sex workers (willing or unwilling), possibly underage ones at that.
